Considering you’re from totally different generations, it might feel as if you’re starting at a disadvantage when attempting to find the best gift for your grandpa (especially with Father’s Day coming up this weekend). That’s the pessimistic view, though. Instead, let’s acknowledge the fact that whether you’re shopping for someone who’s 50, 100 or some ripe-old age in between, you have a whole lifetime of data to support your search for something that feels personalized for him. His interests, tendencies and favorites are well known.

In that vein, I spent a lot of time thinking about my own grandfathers as I drummed up some gift ideas: a game I’d have loved to play with one across the table, a comfortable robe was the ideal for the other, who watched hours of news in his recliner every day. And even though neither man is around to confirm my suspicions that those gifts would hit home, I’m confident our hands-on experience with the products vetted below will do just that for your grandpa.
