Father's Day might be a time to sing dad's praises, but it also presents an opportunity to celebrate the other patriarchs in your life, like your grandpa. He's always making us laugh with endless dad jokes and has supported us at everything from our Kindergarten graduation to wedding day. Even if grandpa claims he doesn't need much, practical gifts are still a good way to show your appreciation. To secure your spot as his favorite grandchild, I've rounded up the best Father's Day gifts for grandfathers that he'll actually put to use.

If he's a self-proclaimed pitmaster, grilling gifts like meat and seasoning kits will help him barbecue his favorite foods with ease. You can also add some personalization to straightforward presents, like this leather toiletry kit, or gifting him a custom book with all the things you love about him. Even if he's a no-nonsense kind of guy, I've thrown in gag gifts that'll keep a smile on his face whenever he uses them.
