Trying to find that perfect gift for Grandpa can certainly be a
difficult task. Your Gramps has seen it all, tried everything,
and is long past the age of following his youthful pursuits.
Still, the old man has a life and one that can certainly be
enriched by one of the following gift ideas I have listed for
you. Go ahead and make an old man happy. Goodness knows he has
been grumpy for way too long!
1. Hearing Aid -- That's right, Gramps hasn't been able
to hear much lately and what he does hear he changes around.
Give the gift that keeps on hearing and he'll be very grateful.
Opt for the fashionable model that sticks outside of his ear
canal and comes in your choice of invigorating colors: rad red,
bionic blue, glittery green, or psychedelic orange.
2. Viagra -- Gramma has been looking pretty sad these
past few years. Get Gramps the Viagra and let them have their
time alone. Plenty of Viagra, if you can afford it!
3. Football Tickets -- Who doesn't like football? Okay,
Gramma doesn't. So, why not get Gramps a pair of tickets and you
take him to the big game? After going through all that Viagra,
Gramma will be glad that you took the frisky fella away
from her for awhile. She needs the rest and now looks like she
was run over by a reindeer. Just don't sit too close to the
cheerleaders...
4. The Three Stooges -- Precious little seems to amuse
Gramps lately except for slapstick comedy, particularly The
Three Stooges. Spring for the entire 26 volume DVD set of the
Best of The Three Stooges to keep him entertained all
through the winter. Shop eBay for the best prices too!
5. Headers -- Say, what?! Yes, purchase his favorite car
parts like a DC Sports header, a K&N cold air intake, a JetChips
performance chip, floor mats and cargo liners, etc., for his
1999 Ford F-250. You know that he is planning to give you the
truck next year anyway, so why not outfit it the way you want it
to look now instead of waiting until later? Your
gift to him will soon become your gift to yourself. It
underscores what Christmas has become to so many; so, get in
that spirit today!
Just remember that it is the thought that counts. The more
thoughtless you are, the more transparent you will be perceived.
At least you will live up to nobody's expectations of you and,
therefore, be unable to disappoint anyone.
Somehow I don't think that this is what Christmas is really all
about... Merry Christmas, Gramps!
