What is a good gift for a grandad who has everything?

Something to do: a 1000-piece jigsaw, a card or board game to play with the family, a book he has mentioned. Or the better version of a daily thing — a flask, a razor, his aftershave in the bigger bottle.

What are good games to play with grandad?

Card games and short family board games with simple rules and a bit of luck — the kind a seven-year-old and a seventy-year-old can both win. Avoid anything with a rulebook thicker than a menu.

Is a jigsaw a good gift for an older man?

One of the most-used gifts there is for someone with time in the evenings. Pick a scene he would choose himself — a landscape, a vintage car, a map — and a piece count he will finish.

Gifts for grandad

Grandads are the original "don't get me anything", and they mean it slightly less than they say it. The gifts that work are the ones that give him something to do or something he uses every morning.

Here: jigsaws and games he can play with the grandchildren, a flask for the allotment or the walk, grooming that is better than his, the fragrance he has worn since before you were born. Real UK prices, in stock.

He will never write a wishlist on his own. He will dictate one, happily, if a grandchild is holding the phone.
