44 Best Gifts for Grandpa That He'll Actually Love (and Use)

1. Newair Beverage Refrigerator

This mini fridge does an outsized job chilling up to 60 12-ounce beer cans. If you want to be really baller, gift it to grandpa plugged in and fully stocked with beer.

2. Parachute Cotton Robe

For the Lounger

If your grandpa goes from the bed to the kitchen and sofa, then he'll appreciate this robe. It's made of 100 percent Turkish cotton, so it's incredibly cozy, and it has two front pockets for him to put his glasses (because he's constantly losing them) and his phone.

^{Size range: X-Small to 3X}

3. Apple Watch Se

For the Sporty Cool Grandpa

This one’s for the fit (or wannabe fit) grandpa on the block. And don't assume he won't be able to figure out how to use it—the Apple Watch is super grandparent-friendly and will allow him to quickly go from answering texts to tracking his heart rate to setting sleep goals.

4. On Running Cloud 5 Sneaker

9. Teva Hudson Sandal

For the Hiker

He'll be able to let his feet breathe—as well as keep himself upright—thanks to these shoes' rugged rubber high-grip outsole that won't shirk when he encounters a patch of mud or small stream.

As for wearing socks with them...seriously, he's earned the right to whatever fashion statement he likes.

For the Forgetful

Stick this on his keychain or in his wallet and he can easily find it within the 400-foot range of its Bluetooth signal. And there's two in the set in case one goes missing.

For the Green Thumb

If your Nonno has the greenest thumb in the family, this indoor hydroponic garden will give him some seedlings to look after—without risking the backache that comes with outdoor pruning.

For the Guy With a Tiny Kitchen

This three-piece pan is designed to replace a traditional eight-piece cooking set for under $150.
