The Gifted Grandfather: Grandpa-to-Be

A newborn will melt many hearts, but none more than her grandfather's. This holiday season, wrap up a few gifts for the grandfather-in-training before the lil one wraps him around her finger.

Even if he is not one to be outwardly mushy, he'll appreciate the book Life's Big Little Moments: Grandfathers & Grandchildren as he prepares for his family tree to grow.
He's the only guy you know that still wears a tie to work every day. This Vineyard Vines Barefeet Tie will remind him of the child each time he loops it.
He was the first family member to own a digital camera, but now it's clunky and nonoperational. A sleek new digital camera will give him, and his pictures, a much needed update.

The Gifted Dad: Daddy-To-Be

Presents for new parents are usually geared toward mom and baby, but expectant dads shouldn't be left in the dark. Give the daddy-to-be a few gifts that will have him prepared and excited for the impending arrival.

An expectant father is not always ready to give up his music collection for Baby Einstein and Barney. With the Rockabye Baby albums, he'll really be able to rock his lil one to sleep.
When dad's on duty he's not going to be thrilled to take your Petunia Pickle bag to the park. The Diaper Dude looks like a messenger bag, but is equipped to carry bottles, diapers, and other baby essentials.
Paternity leave doesn't hold a candle to maternity leave. When daddy is back at his desk dreaming of his bundle of joy, he'll love a digital photo frame to remind him of one of the reasons he's working so hard in the first place.

The Gifted Grandparent: Grandpa

The title "Grandpa" often connotes images of an old man with a cane, glasses and worn out hands. But if 50 is the new 30, then Gramps should act and dress the part, too.

Make sure the man is well groomed with a set of Kiehl's shaving lotions and creams. Your wee one should be begging for kisses from Gramps, not a porcupine.
Keep Grandaddy hip with a timeless pair of Chuck Taylors. The grandchildren will think he's the coolest pop on the block.
For the dapper Pappy, a cashmere tartan scarf will keep him nice and cozy on the outside while giving him warm fuzzies on the inside.

The Gifted Dad: Fathers

For as long as I can remember, I've always given my dad socks, underwear, books, and golf balls for Christmas. Every now and then I'll find one spectacular gift, but most of the time it's the same old stuff. This year, surprise your pop with a sweet stash of goodies that are sure to make him sit back and revel in your creativity and generosity.
