Gifts For The Young At Heart Grandad
As old age approaches, some people just won't take it lying down
. If you know a grandad who still thinks he's sixteen and hasn't noticed the seasons changing, then celebrate his youthful vigour by teasing him with some inappropriate gifts for grandad. Sometimes the best laughs come from that which is a little too true. Make sure he can take a joke and then read on for some cheeky gifts for grandad ideas for those aging youths
There is something about age which seems circular. After a point, they seem to start growing younger again, rather than continuing to get older. Perhaps experience teaches you that its better to be a kid. Why not buy them some toys to be silly with?
Racing grandads. What on earth could that be, but plastic wind-up toys which look like granddads on trolleys, with oxygen masks (just incase the excitement all gets a bit too much). If you know someone who has just become a granddad this could be the perfect way to get them giggling at their new-found old-age status.
Becoming a grandad seems to immediately mean that you're over the hill. All the associations that we have with grandads- doddery old men, pensioners, Werther's Originals, grumpy tantrums and old songs sung in a croaky voice. There are a wealth of stereotypes to be giggled at, especially if he doesn't fit the box. If you know someone who has recently become, or is due to become a new grandad, then initiate him into his new role with gifts for Grandad. Play on those insecurities and give them a personal joke.
Signs for senior moments will be good preparation for when he finally does lose the last of the marbles. To save them having to speak and replace witty remarks with comic signs, get gifts for grandad for a laugh: 'Age is a high price to pay for Maturity'A pack of witty signs for their old-age moments will be a great conversation starter and are funny gifts for grandads. Put a smile on the grumpiest of faces.
Or if they haven't even hit 60, a 'my life story' 100 year diary for a this-is-your-life style recollection might put it all into perspective. Seek out some dreadful photographs from their youth - bad hair and cheesy poses to start it off. This is sure to get a laugh and bring back memories of their youthful days, an excellent choice of gifts for grandad, which doesn't have to be too offensive!
If there isn't much to put in his one hundred year diary yet, then maybe you should get him a book recommending 101 things to do before you're old and boring as one of your gifts for Grandad. Invest in a watch to go with it to cunningly and rudely imply the lack of remaining minutes.
As I have previously iterated, make sure they have a sense of humour before taking any of these suggestions seriously to prevent grumpy grandad overloadcontinue at your own risk.
To prevent the oncoming old age, how about some memory loss mints. No, they don't really work, but they come in a tin which he can pull out at any inappropriate occasion for a giggle. Or perhaps some 'old git' mints would be more appropriate for those conversation-stoppers. If he's young at heart he will appreciate gifts for grandad that he can pull your leg with.
Probably the best gifts for Grandad would be a camping van. The open road what a dream! Retired years with no responsibilities except where to find the next pint and a big piece of machinery to play around with who wanted to be young anyway? The next best thing to buying him a camping van for his retired years is a 'build-your-own' VW camping van, as preparation for the retired years to come. He can practice needing to pull apart the engine and put it back together again and dream of where his next journey on the M25 might take him whilst he figures out how to put it together. You could even get a pipe, dressing gown and some slippers to wander around the campsite in for years to come. Perhaps it would be worth investing in some nice deck chairs to sit on and a ready-tied handkerchief for their balding head.
This all comes with a disclaimer. We will not take responsibility for offense caused by recipients. If they can't laugh, then they're a lost cause.
