We want to make sure our dads and granddads know how much we appreciate them. Although we express our love all year round, Father’s Day is a special day all about them. From funny cards to special days out, here’s our list of Father’s Day gifts for elderly dads.
Small Budget Father’s Day Gifts
We recognise that not everyone can afford lavish gifts for their dads and granddads. Especially as the cost of living makes it harder to save our pennies. But buying gifts on a budget doesn’t mean you can’t get them anything special. Here are some of our favourite budget Father’s Day gifts for elderly dads.
Novelty Cards
Some dads don’t want too much of a fuss on Father’s Day. A card is enough to show them how much you care – and a gift card doesn’t hurt much, either. But why get them a generic card from the supermarket? There are some amazing novelty cards online that are sure to elicit a laugh. Many of them can even be customised with a picture of your dad or granddad. You can order some fun cards from MoonPig.
Stylish Socks or Slippers
It’s become something of a joke that once you’re older all you receive is socks. However, socks are a great gift for elderly dads and granddads. A good, strong pair of socks will last for years, keeping your loved one’s feet warm and protected. And if you’d prefer to avoid the cliché of socks, why not consider some stylish slippers. Practicality doesn’t have to be ugly, after all.
Personalised Wallet
Is your dad’s wallet starting to fall apart? Buy them a replacement with a personal twist. What makes this a great Father’s Day gift for your elderly dad is that it’s both practical and sentimental. They will be able to keep their cash and cards in a safe place whilst also seeing a message from their loved ones whenever they need to pay for something. There are a variety of customisation options available, too, such as those available on Etsy.
Board/Trivia Game
It’s important to keep your loved one’s mind active, especially in later life. A game they can play with all the family could be the ideal way to accomplish this whilst having fun. In fact, it has been proven that board games are good for the brain. Buy your dad a game and find time to play it this Father’s Day. Even a simple card-based trivia game will get their brain working – and they’ll relish the chance to show off all their accumulated knowledge.
High Budget Father’s Day Gifts
If you can afford to splash out a little more, there are plenty of amazing gifts you can buy for your dad or granddad this year. These are some of our favourite Father’s Day gifts for elderly dads.
Tool Kit
If your elderly dad is still a DIY aficionado, a new tool kit could be the ideal gift. Replace his worn-out old tools and introduce him to some new ones. Maybe he needs a new drill to make his projects that little bit easier. Or perhaps his screwdrivers are all losing their edge. New tools could also prove motivating. Plus, it shows you understand his passions. You can find a generously priced 60-piece tool kit on Argos.
Designer Watch
Your dad or granddad is sure to appreciate a brand-new watch for Father’s Day. Not only is it a practical choice for when he’s out and about, but it’s also stylish. What’s more, there are countless designs available, from simple single-faced watched to advanced chronograph models. You can also choose between digital and analogue, depending on your dad’s preference, and various types of straps. Check out Watch Shop’s Father’s Day selection.
Kindle e-Reader
When looking for Father’s Day gifts for elderly dads and granddads who love to read, a Kindle e-reader could be exactly what they need – assuming they don’t have one already. A Kindle allows your dad to keep all their books in one place and read them on the go. It will also save space around the house. Moreover, with a Kindle, he can adjust the font size to suit him. It makes reading more accessible than ever and could be especially useful if your elderly dad struggles to lift a regular book. You can purchase a Kindle direct from Amazon.
Helicopter Experience
If your dad or granddad are more of the adventurous type, this could be the perfect Father’s Day gift. Splash out on a helicopter tour for two and join your loved one on a journey to remember. With locations across the UK to choose from, this is an experience that will get the adrenaline pumping. There will be plenty of opportunities for photographs, too. Just be sure your dad doesn’t have any health problems that could impede his enjoyment.
