Men undergo many transformations in their lives. For those who choose fatherhood, the transition from mild-mannered gentleman (or, perhaps not-so-mild-mannered, definitely not a gentleman) to Papa Bear can be remarkable. But the transition from Papa Bear to Grandpapa Bear? Glorious. Stunning. Gone is the “dad voice,” the disciplinary tendencies. Even their preoccupation with the thermostat seems to have mellowed (though not completely — he is still a father after all). But what does this new version of the man want? Need? What are some good Father’s Day gifts for grandpa? We have a few ideas.

We tried to incorporate a healthy mix of grandkids-focused items that acknowledge that while he may be the world’s greatest grandpa, he’s not just a grandpa! He still has hobbies, other interests, and things he enjoys doing when the kids aren’t around.

Whether he’s Grandpa, Pop-Pop, Granddaddy, Gramps, Nonno, Abuelo, Opa, or Boppy, he’s sure to love something on our list.

Remember how we said joke shirts were a grandpa's love language? Well, that goes for hoodies, too. This one takes the iconic logo from The Godfather movies and makes it cuddlier! Common side effects of this hoodie include bad Marlon Brando impressions and randomly quoting Michael Corleone.

Grandpa T-Shirt

When you’re a grandfather, joke T-shirts are one of the five major love languages (right up there with the History channel, puns, pulling quarters from behind children’s ears, and telling stories about “back in my day”). So we think he’ll love this shirt, which lets people know he didn’t retire, he just switched fields!
