Father's Day is fast approaching and while dads are the main source of loving on this day, it's important not to forget the OG dads: grandpas. Grandpas are awesome. They make great dance partners, are there for their grandkids, whether the baby is on the way and they're a grandparent-to-be or have kiddos that are already grown up. We thought of some gifts that grandpa would want, during this weird time but also, always, and came up with this list. 

Don't worry, we made sure to touch on as many grandpa interests as we could with some surprises in between. From fun puzzles to comfortable slippers to funny T-shirts and gardening tools, these gifts will help grandpa will feel extra love this Father's Day no matter if his family is near or far. As he should. Check out the items below.
