If you've ever struggled to find a practical yet personal gift for your grandfather, you are not alone. Sometimes it's hard to find that special something that won't sit around unused year after year. Your grandpa is at a point in his life where he knows what he likes, so you want to find a gift that either accommodates his interests or offers benefits he would not have thought of on his own. It helps to know your grandfather's hobbies, but you don't need to have expert knowledge to give him something thoughtful and practical that he will cherish and get plenty of use.
For starters, consider how much you are looking to spend.
Credit Card Size 3X Magnifiers
If your grandpa is always squinting at the fine print on labels or menus, then these little magnifiers are the perfect solution. They fit in the credit card slot of any wallet and come in packs of six, which means he can leave one in his wallet, at home, in the car etc. If he loses one, he has a spare. Inches and centimeters line each side, so it also doubles as a mini measuring stick.
