Does he like to read? get him a $30 gift card from your local book store. You say he buys for himself, now you've given him what he likes best. Does he plant flowers in the yard? Try a gift card to Home Depot or the local nursery. Does he enjoy movies? get tickets to the local movie house. rent them? then give him a gift card to blockbuster or netflix.
A promise to write each month and update him on what's going on in your life doesn't cost you much, but he'll love it more than all the rest.

Plan a special luncheon for just you and grandpa. Plan on having him talk about when he was your age and if you are smart you will take along a tape recorder to keep these memories forever! He will love the special day with you and you will gain valuable insight about your grandpa and his youth.

You could get a picture of all the family and put it in a frame or in a nice ornament, with what ever type inscription you'd like and the date. Even if he has everything, this would still be a lovely gift.

What a sweet granddaughter you are!
I have two ideas:
1. Buy a really beautiful photo album and fill it with photo's of your family.
2. Buy a swiss army knife and have it engraved! He'llo lvoe the personal touch!
Good luck! I'm sure he'll love whatever you get!

this is what I do. Whenever I have to buy for people that are hard I always ask those around them what they like to eat, what scent they wear, stuff like that. Then if their fav. snack is M&M's I get them that and then get them like a bottle of the scent they like, blades for their razor, a prepaid card for their favorite resturant, or a prepaid card for their favorite store. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

A picture of the two of you in a unique frame would be nice and sentimental...or...a clock, books,subscription to a magazine of his interests, weather radio, personalized Christmas tree ornament, or make him his favorite dessert ,meal,or candy in a basket...=)

get him a big basket filled w/ his fave snack foods..that's why my children do for their grandpa every year..there are somethings that grandma just won't buy grandpa ..so we do.....here are some ideas......peanut brittle, butterscotch candy, summer sausage, snack crackers, chocolates, jelly bellys, just to name a few, if he likes crosswords or word search books throw some it the mix also....

do you like to wright?...........well, if you do, wright your grandpa a letter, a poem, a tribute of love, or something like that.....buy the most beautiful picture frame you could and place your writing inside. Older folks ( like myself) like the more personable things :-)
PS.....type up the letter on your computer in a pretty font, then find a beautiful colored paper to copy it on.

You might want to fix up a nice basket with whatever he likes or might like -- various kinds of mustard, or cheeses, or coffees. Men are hard, but that used to work well with one man I knew.
