• In a world of rankings, it seems the best dads get promoted to grandpa status. So when you're searching out Christmas gifts for grandparents, be sure to find something special for the grandfather who's a hero to you all, even when he's a little grumpy. This Christmas, Gramps will light up like the moon when he opens a gift that's just perfect for him.

• When you're shopping for Christmas gifts for the grandparents, remember the basics. Is your grandfather someone who's tech-savvy and owns a computer? Probably not. So a pocket printer simply delivers prints of their favorite grandkids.

• Your grandparents may be retired, but they are still full of pep. Look for Christmas gifts for grandparents that keep them active - anything from Scrabble to picks for the putting green.

• With Christmas gifts for grandparents, remember what they always say. If your grandfather is one to say, "real men eat steaks", give the meat-loving guy what he craves (a monthly club membership to the best steaks, but of course.)
