Questions people ask

What do you get a grandpa who wants nothing?

Something that makes a daily habit more comfortable, like a heated blanket, a better reading light or a good pair of slippers.

What is a sentimental gift for grandpa?

A memory journal he fills in, or a framed photo with the grandkids, will mean more than any gadget.
