Need some Father's Day ideas for the special grandfather in your life? Look here!

As we remember and appreciate the fathers in our lives, we also seek to acknowledge the special grandfathers who do so much for our families. Without grandpas, there would be no fathers to celebrate this special annual holiday. What are some gifts we can give to the grandfathers we know that they’ll remember for years to come?

Photos for Grandpa

One of the easiest ways to celebrate grandpa is to give the gift of a photo keepsake. Kodak Gallery and Shutterfly are two great websites for making your own photo keepsakes for grandfathers. A photo of Grandpa holding his first grandchild, or a group photo of all the grandkids would be perfect for making into a t-shirt, mug, pen and pencil holder box, tie, or simply a framed photo. A digital frame pre-loaded with pictures of grandchildren is another perfect gift, especially if you can’t get all the grandkids together in one picture easily.

Handmade Crafts for Grandfathers

Grandpa would love to receive something handmade just for him by the loving grandchildren in his life. Have kids roll up their sleeves and visit the local pottery-making studio where they can add their handprints and ‘signatures’ to a serving plate, or visit the Oriental Trading website where you can order simple-to-make crafts such as make-your-own grill aprons, color-your-own baseball hats, or color-your own plastic travel mugs. Check here for some more creative craft ideas for Father’s Day that could be applied to any loving Grandpa as well!
