14 Non-Cheesy Father’s Day Gifts for Grandpas

Courtesy of Brands

He’s the keeper of family stories, the king of comfy chairs, and possibly the only person you know who still reads the newspaper front to back. He knows how to fix everything. Remembers every birthday, and gives advice you’ll actually remember years later—whether you asked for it or not. It can be a bit challenging to find gifts for Grandpa that’ll stack up to all that. But we did all the work for you. We’ve searched high and low to find the presents that are sure to win Father’s Day this year.

When he says, “I don’t need anything,” we know that’s just Grandpa Code for “surprise me.” This list is packed with ideas that are as classic, clever, and quietly cool as he is, from golf history and weird trivia to travel-ready photo keepsakes and a camp chair built for front-porch legend status. These gifts for Grandpa are all designed to say thanks for the stories, the snacks, the support, and all the things he does in between.
