Choosing the right Father\u2019s Day gift for your grandpa can be a challenge, because at this stage of life he probably has plenty of material things and knows his own preferences pretty well. So rather than knock yourself out seeking the perfect gadget or shirt, consider giving him an experience he\u2019ll enjoy.<\/p>\n<h2>Father\u2019s day food fun<\/h2>\n<p>What\u2019s your grandfather\u2019s favorite dish? You could make it for him, take him to a restaurant where it\u2019s the house specialty, or have it delivered. Ideally, you can gather friends and family to share a special meal with him, but one-on-one time can be good, too. \u00a0And if your grandpa prefers to do the cooking or grilling himself, offer to help with the shopping, prep, or clean up \u2014 the most important thing is to spend time together.<\/p>\n<p>A long-lasting gesture if you live too far away to visit is to set up a subscription for his favorite type of food, so he can enjoy Father\u2019s Day deliveries all year long. There are food-of-the-month clubs and gift box subscriptions for just about everything, from bacon and beer to paleo fitness snacks. Make sure you give him a call each month to catch up and get his review of each delivery.<\/p>\n<h2>Road trips to remember<\/h2>\n<p>If Granddad likes to travel, especially if there\u2019s a place the two of you haven\u2019t visited in a while or have always meant to go, serving as road trip chauffeur can be a great way to spend time together and get a change of scene. Not sure where to go?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Consider visiting family<\/strong>, especially his siblings and other children or grandchildren who your grandfather would like to see. For far-flung relatives, this can be a great gift.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Take a literal trip down memory lane.<\/strong> A drive around your grandfather\u2019s hometown, college town, or other stomping grounds can spark stories you\u2019ve never heard before and let you see the places where your grandfather lived, went to school, met your grandmother, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Go wild.<\/strong> If Gramps is the type who\u2019s happiest out in the woods, on the trail, or by the lake, make it happen. Rent, borrow, or buy the gear you\u2019ll need for a camp out, hike, or fishing trip and hit the road.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Wherever you go, make sure your grandfather is comfortable along the way. A lumbar cushion for the car can prevent backaches, and frequent stops can forestall stiff muscles. And make sure he brings any medication and contact numbers he might need.<\/p>\n<h2>Collect and share memories<\/h2>\n<p>If your grandfather\u2019s family is spread out, put the internet to work for you. Online services such as Shutterfly and Snapfish can make bound albums with your digital photos and text. Ask your relatives for fresh photos of themselves, their homes, and their kids along with mini-updates on what everyone\u2019s doing. You can also encourage everyone to share a special \u201cgranddad memory\u201d or Father\u2019s Day message, and then put it all together as a printed album or digital slideshow.<\/p>\n<p>However you honor your grandfather this year, remember that the most valuable gift is your time and attention. Whether that takes the form of a visit, a phone call, or an outing together, it\u2019s the present that means the most.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Father\u2019s Day Gifts for Grandpa As Father\u2019s Day draws near, make sure you plan something special for the man who made your dad possible \u2013 your grandfather.
