Finding the perfect gift for a great-grandfather is a matter of picking something that fits well with your great-grandfather's interests and taste as well as what you know he needs. Although a child may not have much money to buy a gift for her great-grandfather, there's no reason she can't use her creative talents to create a gift her great-grandfather will appreciate. - Music that will delight your great-grandfather can be from his own generation or from a particular style of music, like jazz. If your great-grandfather still likes to listen to music on vinyl, search for an album that you know he doesn't have and would like. A gift idea for families who want to give a unique music gift to great-grandfather is to record a CD of the family singing some of his favorite tunes.
- Original art can be a marvelous gift idea for your great-grandfather, but it can also be costly, especially works from well-known artists. Reproductions of art can be a less-expensive option than buying original art pieces. Reproductions of classic works can be a nice choice for the real art lover. You can buy reproductions online, in stores and in galleries. However, it is important to confirm that, if your intention is to buy a original piece of art, you are not getting a reproduction, since this has been known to happen at some galleries.
- For children, one of the best ways to show their love and appreciation for their great-grandfather is to create a personalized gift for him using craft materials. For example, they can make a gift like a card or even a sculpture using clay or plaster of Paris. The important thing is to allow children to create a gift that they believe their grandfather will love. A child might want to paint a portrait on a canvas of himself and his great-grandfather or of something they do together, like fishing or going to a baseball game.
