I'm looking for some unique ideas for a birthday present for my grandpa, who turns 90 this year. He's an amazing woodworker and has built so many things for his family over the years, like curio cabinets, bunk beds, and rocking horses for all his grandkids. I want to make him something special that he will cherish, but I'm not exactly sure what. It doesn't need to be extravagant—just something that shows my love and appreciation. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Gifts for grandpas don't have to be overly complicated. They'll appreciate anything made with love! How about making him a simple letter opener? It’s practical and he can use it every day. You could even pair it with a matching desktop letter organizer for a nice touch.
A beautiful handmade picture box from walnut or a nice wood could be a fantastic gift. You could fill it with cherished photos of his kids, especially pictures of them using his furniture. It would be a wonderful way for him to reminisce with family!
At 90, he might not need anything material. How about asking him to share some of his woodworking techniques with you? Then, offer to clean up his workshop while spending quality time together—that’s a priceless gift.
