What gift should you give a young grandfather?

Some grandads are still young (under 60). If you’re wondering what might please your young grandfather, Amikado has a selection made just for you. While every occasion is a good excuse to give a gift, Grandparents’ Day is the perfect moment to treat your grandad. Here are three personalised gift ideas for young grandads.

Engraved name beer glass

Is your grandad a beer lover who enjoys relaxing with a bottle and a glass on Sunday evenings? Treat him to our fantastic beer glass engraved with his name. Receiving such a gift from his grandchild is sure to bring a smile to his face. And if beer isn’t his thing, we have plenty of other gift ideas for you.

Personalised kitchen apron

Do you love cooking with your grandparents or just with your grandad? A 100% cotton personalised kitchen apron is a brilliant gift idea. With personalisation, it turns him into a star chef—or at least makes him look like one! It’s also multi-purpose, perfect for gardening or DIY projects. The apron can be personalised with a name, dedication or illustration from our available designs.

Retro personalised car document holder

Even young grandads can misplace their car documents. This original and useful gift will save him time and raise a smile. The personalised Retro car document holder keeps all his papers organised in a leather case customised with his name, favourite colour, vintage car model—and even a registration number if you wish. Everything needed for a wonderful Grandparents’ Day.

A retro gift for your grandfather?

Nostalgia for Grandparents’ Day ? Some might call it predictable—but they’d be wrong. Emotion is often the key to truly touching your grandad’s heart. Help him relive precious moments from his youth, childhood or even the day he was born with an authentic newspaper from his birth date.

More recently printed but just as rich in memories, the Memory Year Book by Larousse is an excellent retro gift alternative. It retraces all the key events from the chosen year—birth, wedding, exams and more. A collection that even caters to centenarians, starting from 1919.
