No matter what the occasion is, a present for Grandpa will always let him know that you love him. Hand made Presents���� A cheap but meaningful way to show Grandpa that he is loved is to make a gift by hand. This is especially true for young children, who enjoy making works of art. A simple drawing of something dear to Grandpa�s heart, like his home town or a portrait of himself, will put a smile on his face. Many shopkeepers also sell design-it-yourself items like cups or baseball caps. Photos���� Of all the things that Grandpa thinks precious, his grandchildren always top the list.
