Best Gifts for Grandpa
Is your grandpa passionate about cooking? Does he love spending time in the kitchen? Does he fancy a cool gift from his grandkids? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, allow us to present some of the coolest gifts for grandpa.
1. Editor’s Choice: Bamboo Cutting Board
Gifts for grandpa for the kitchen aren’t always easy to come by because there’s this misconception that grandpas don’t usually cook, but let’s not forget that some of the world’s greatest chefs are men. If you have a grandpa that loves making meals, how about a quality cutting board with the most top-notch message a grandpa could receive?
The board is made from rapidly growing bamboo that is responsibly sourced. The side with the writing is coated in a non-BPA food-safe lacquer, and the letters are burnt deeply into the wood to ensure they never fade.
Designed for the purpose of décor, it can be hung on a wall, exhibited on a shelf, or placed on a counter. The backside is left unfinished and is intended for use as a culinary cutting board or even a tray to serve cheeses, crackers, and other appetizers.
Pros:
- Practical and decorative.
- Doesn’t dull blades.
- Lettering doesn’t fade.
Cons:
- Smaller than expected.
2. Runner Up: Whiskey Ice Bullets
Does your grandfather like to enjoy the occasional glass of whiskey or some other spirited beverage, only to complain about the watered-down taste that becomes noticeable once the ice has melted? Not only does this gift solve that problem, but it solves it in style!
These bullet-like capsules have a cooling gel inside, meaning they can be used time and time again. Just place them in the freezer, add them to the drink to enjoy it cold, wash them when you’re done, and place them back in the freezer for future use.
Aside from the six cool-looking bullets, you also bed a plastic base to hold them, a very cool wooden box, and a cloth bag. This could make for a pretty amazing gift for your grandfather this Christmas.
Pros:
- Unique design.
- Beautiful wood case.
Cons:
- Not as efficient as actual ice cubes.
3. Best for ice cream lovers: Grandpa’s Ice Cream Bowl and Engraved Spoon
If your grandpa has a sweet tooth for ice cream or your fondest memories are the two of you going down to the ice cream parlor for a Sunday cone, this gift will hit the sweet spot.
This ice cream bowl is basically a large mug with a handle to hold the mug without your hands freezing. The included scoop is shaped like a shovel (and has the engraving to prove it).
The mug has a 30-ounce capacity, while the spoon measures 7.25 inches in length. We love the box in which this set is delivered because you don’t have to worry about finding appropriate gift packaging anymore.

This apron measures 24 inches broad by 29 inches long and has an adjustable neck strap that may be adjusted to your desired degree of comfort. No more guessing about size; this apron easily fits waists up to 66inches.
Each of the two front pockets measures 5 inches broad by 6 inches long and is ideal for storing recipe cards, grilling seasonings, a meat thermometer, the smartphone, and even your grandpa’s glasses.

This cutting board measures 9 x 13 inches and comes with a convenient carrying handle that also makes it easy for your grandpa to hang this up on the wall and use it as a decorative piece if they so please. It’s made from quality bamboo and has a beautiful natural wood finish to it.
It’s best if the engraved side is used solely for decoration purposes, while the other side is best for cutting meats, fruit, and vegetables. Because of the heartwarming engraving, this is a sentimental present that has the potential to be one of the best gifts for grandpa.
Pros:
- Practical and decorative.

6. Best for the foodie: Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker
Does your grandpa love a good breakfast sandwich? Then how about gifting a sandwich maker that helps prepare the perfect breakfast in five minutes or less?
The cooking plate precisely cooks an egg and then slides out to build your sandwich. Sandwiches can be made with biscuits, English muffins, or miniature bagels, among other types of bread and pastry. All replaceable components are dishwasher safe, and all surfaces include a tough, non-stick coating.
The sandwich maker is good for anything from eggs to cheese, hams, pieces of bacon, and even fruits (such as apples).

Pros:
- Very easy to use.
