Grandpa and Dad are the hardest people on the Christmas list. Ask them what they want and you'll hear "Oh, I don't need anything." If you're looking for Christmas gifts for Grandpa or Dad that he'll actually use and keep, I'd love to help.

Me and my sons build wooden boxes one at a time in our family shop in Murfreesboro, TN. Below are our favorite gifts for the men in your family, starting with our brand-new Grandpa's Magic Box, plus the questions folks ask us most this time of year.

Christmas Gifts for Grandpa: Our Grandpa's Magic Box

Every grandpa has a pocket full of surprises for the grandkids. Our Grandpa's Magic Box gives him one special place to keep them: treats, small toys, photos, little drawings, and all the small moments that make being a grandpa so special. The lid carries the Grandpa's Magic Box poem, and the grandkids will know right where to look every time they visit.

Make It His: Custom Engraving for $10

This is the part that turns a nice box into his box. For $10 we'll engrave the lid with his name, initials, a date, a message from the grandkids, his brand, or a picture of something he loves. Every engraving is custom-designed for you. We don't use stock images. We design it with you and send a proof before we engrave anything. (Here's how our custom engraving works.)

Christmas Order-By Date

To get it under the tree, order by Thursday, December 17 (December 16 for Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico). Shipping is free anywhere in the U.S. by USPS Ground Advantage, and we ship 1 to 3 days after you approve your proof, so approving it quickly helps.
