I'm looking for an unusual personalised gift to give my grandad for his 60th birthday next month, any ideas?

Question

He's interested in football and fishing, but he has all the obvious things. I'm looking for something special...

Answer 1

a balloon with 60 on perhaps

Answer 2

There are some lovely tankards around that your could get personalised...  A lot depends on the amount of money you have to spend... I am sure that no matter what you get him, it will be special to him :)

Answer 3

Get one of those big photo frames with all the small framed sections in it. Clip magazine photos, or get photos of things off the internet that represent his football and fishing hobbies (ball, players, team mascot or logo,fish, tackle box, rod & reel). Other photos could represent trips he's taken, childhood memories, hobbies, or his career, movies or books he likes, animals he likes, personal mottos. Clip them to fit, and insert them. You'll have a one - of - a - kind, highly personalized treasure that he can display for all to enjoy!

If you're looking for a super fun personalized birthday gift idea, these personalized soaps from http://www.soapcard.com should do the trick. they make soaps with your photo or just message embedded inside. I got one for my boyfriend and he loved it. You can write all kinds of funny stuff.... My boyfriend thought it was super cute! .the "Think of me when you're feeling dirty" soap was the one he loved the most

Answer 6

You can get some personalised portraits or pictures for your grandad done at http://www.paintyourlife.com. You definitely know what he likes. Get some photos of those things or personalities and then send them to this company’s professional artists, who will turn them into a classical-looking oil painting or other type of portrait. Check them out! They have great gift ideas for every occasion!

If you are looking for an affordable gift urgently, the same company also has a studio for oil paintings reproductions. So, visit them at http://www.oil-paintings-reproductions.c... and take a look at their 'stock on sale'.

Answer 7

If you are able to get any old photos of him and his family when he was younger and up to date ones get them copied and get a very large photo frame and put them in there together. just a idea i did it for my brother in law and he was very pleased and cried

Answer 8

I just lately bought a bottle of personalised champagne from http://www.winegifts4u.co.uk for my mum this Mother's Day. I wanted something original, because she's got everything she needs... she loved it :)

They do other things like personalised wine and whisky (if he likes a drink?!) They've got some good fishing and football label designs i saw, which you can add your own personalised message to and then pick a wine/spirit bottle to put it on. I reckon that would be a special 60th birthday present idea that he could keep if he wanted to.
