Every product was carefully curated by an Esquire editor. We may earn a commission from these links. Here’s how we test products and why you should trust us. Get the legend what he deserves. He's got his buddies and his family. He's got his hobbies—grilling, golfing, or getting outdoors. And, he's got all the time in the world to enjoy them. So why not give the legend something a little extra this holiday? Or, if you're reading this in early 2025, maybe it's his birthday, an anniversary, or his retirement celebration. Maybe you just want to surprise him with a little something. Whatever the reason may be, this is a man who knows what he likes, a man who has everything. The gift needs to be good. So what are you getting him? We say take your pick from one of the 53 ideas below. From prized whiskeys to watches to wellness-focused gifts, these are the best gifts for Grandpa in 2024. Take your place as his favorite grandkid, or help your kid become the favorite grandkid, when Pops tears into his gifts this year. A pewter flask from Sheffield, England, is as classic as it gets. For a special touch, get the leather stamped or metal engraved with his initials. Everything below this doesn't really matter. All the man wants is a kid's drawing or a heartfelt letter, framed for his wall. Poker, Cribbage, Spades, or Bridge—no matter what his game of choice is, he loves nothing more than fleecing his family members. Get him a deck worthy of such a grift. Yes, you can get him one of those premade memory books, but those can be quite limiting. If he's the storytelling type, he might want to do ten pages on one specific day of elementary school. Give him a Moleskine and prompts he can tape into the book and let him do his literary thing. A five-weight fly-rod combo is everything he'll need to start hitting the trout streams and cultivate his new favorite hobby. If he's already done a bit of fly-fishing and wants to target those standout species—steelhead, bonefish, tarpon—go for the eight-weight. He's the only man who'll still wear a casual sport coat. Good for him. This wool-blend one from Todd Snyder is a nice addition to his rotation. The old man knows all about good boots, so he probably knows that Tecovas makes some of the best. This roper is a classic everyday style. A wheeled cooler for his beach vacations or weeknights on the back porch. Get it in this seasonal wine red or something more classic. The whole family wants him to wear a fitness tracker, but he still likes an old-school watch. This smartwatch is the best of both worlds. The man's feet deserve some TLC. He'll thank you for this one every day. There's no reason to buy the old man a golf sneaker when Footjoy's classic Wilcox, an Esquire favorite, is sitting right there. Swimming is the best low-impact workout anyone can do. If Grandpa is looking to up his form in the pool, these Esquire gadget award winning smart goggles give real-time coaching. Caution, he may find out some information that he doesn't like. For example, y'all aren't as Irish as he was always told. Don't tell his cousin in Belfast. The man knows how to throw down on the grill, but this little smart probe will take his smokes and reverse sears to another level of precision. Grandpa loves a pj's set, and Esquire loves this particular pj's set. This'll be his new favorite outdoor reading, napping, and drinking spot. It's one of the most comfortable shoes out there and our pick for the best looking. He's gotten to a certain age and started to appreciate the finer things, like the perfect pair of house shoes. A baseball fan who's never missed his favorite team's first pitch in decades would love this cool custom book. Kentucky bourbon that gets finished in port barrels for a sweet finish. It might surprise him, but it's a lovely bourbon for sipping.
