Super Gifts For Senior Men That Guarantee a Loving Smile

If you're like me you may have noticed as the years go by that it's getting harder and harder to find unique and memorable gifts for your dad and grandpa. So here are a few personable ideas and tips that are sure to put a smile on dear ole Dad's or Granddad's face.

First thing to do is think about his personality and just what category does he fit into? For instance is he a sportsman or a Mr. Green Thumb (gardener), an outdoors-man, or maybe he's a book reader or a game watcher. Knowing his personality will help you to look in the right areas for the most appropriate gifts.


Sensational Senior Men's Gifts

Binoculars - There are many great new styles on the market. Many are smaller and easier to carry but yet very powerful for great bird watching or site seeing.

Camera - Be careful with a digital camera as a gift for a senior as many are very technical and not easy for a senior to use. There are many good styles out there that will work for most senior men.

Unique Electronics - There are many great games and mind/focus builder gadgets for seniors and they all make great gifts. Electronic poker and solitaire games work well for the homebody senior.

Gift Baskets - Still the top gift, I recommend filling one with all the favourite items he would love and maybe tickets to a ball game or a movie. My Dad loved any type of Belgium chocolate. Of course it was nice to sit and share with him.

Travel luggage - Personalized travel luggage is a nice gift. It helps to personalize it with laser or unique tags as we all know at some point it will go on a trip of its own and it will be easier to find.

Pocket watch or unique wrist watch - Both great gifts for a senior man, again try to personalize the back with a nice personal note from you or a little one line joke you both understand.

Golf Gift - There are many gifts for the golfer. A new putter or personalized golf balls are both great gifts. For some but not all guys a small pocket flask to help keep the early morning chills off of the body. Remember to personalize the flask with a nice note engraved on the back.

Collectibles - Many senior guys have collectible items they love to collect. Try to find a unique item from his collection, he will love that you took the time to find it and he will enjoy your gift even more.

Gifts for senior men are not hard to find, you just need a little time searching in the right area. I recommend online gift sites; there you will find many great gifts already selected for you to choose from. Be prepared and start early as shipping can take a few days to get to you. Most of all spend a little time with dad; the time spent with him will be one of the best gifts of all.

Some Practical Gifts To Stay Away From for Senior Men's Gifts
Gifts like complicated electronics, big numbered phones, and assistive devices like health products or mobility products are not the best choices to make for giving a personal gift to a senior. These items although they may be helpful are not always cherished as gifts as they tend to remind a person of the fact that they are ageing and may turn out to be not a gift that truly makes him feel loved. One only has to watch the movie Grand Torino, with Clint Eastwood, and you will understand exactly what I mean here.
