Even if you don’t know an older man, it’s never too early to start thinking about what makes a great gift. Just because someone is 70 doesn’t mean he doesn’t love fun things; after all, 70-year-old people have been known to do many of these awesome things before. If you need inspiration, here are 10 gifts that would be great for any busy 70-year-old man.

(1) Movie tickets

A nice cinema with leather seats and surround sound beats sitting in front of a TV for your favorite action film. Get him something thoughtful like movie tickets or a gift card so that he can get out more often!

(2) Playing cards

Playing cards can help take his mind off his troubles by helping him reconnect with his loved ones over an afternoon game of euchre. And yes, there are even apps for playing cards now! Try one today!

(3) Fondue set

For some reason, fondue reminds us of a time when people really got together around food. There’s just something homey about boiling some water, melted cheese and delicious meats together—not to mention chocolate fondue is dangerously sweet for dunking fruits into, yum! Spice up their evening tonight with little bit fancy fondue night…we won’t tell anyone it isn’t meatloaf. ; )

(4) Electric grill

Perfect for cooking foods like burgers without heating up his kitchen; it’ll cut down on utility bills and give those steaks a smoky flavor without having to muck about with charcoal outside. Plus, who wouldn’t want an excuse to come visit gramps? …oh wait…I mean grandpa.

(5) Wine travel bag

If gramps is traveling abroad sometime soon, why not invest in a good wine travel bag for him to transport his vino safely overseas? It’ll keep his wine fresh and make sure he keeps drinking only from secure bottles during his flight. It might seem silly, but we gals LOVE receiving hostess gifts. 😉 Nana will be thrilled when she visits her new apartment and finds a sparkling bottle of Chianti chilling next to her fridge—and ready for dinner.

(6) Scented candle

Scented candles will instantly freshen up a room while also giving dad somewhere other than bathroom breaks to take quick smoke breaks. These pretty scents will remind him of his wonderful family, too!

(7) Wine-tasting kit

Despite his age, he probably still loves to try a glass of wine every once in a while. This wine-tasting kit comes with everything he needs to learn about wines and expand his taste buds. He can use it to teach friends about wine as well! No matter how much you spend, he’ll treasure a gift from you. Dad will appreciate that you thought of him and enjoyed himself—even more than his gift!

(8) Pool table

A pool table is a fantastic way to bond with his friends. It doesn’t matter if he’s buying it for himself, either; he can buy it for himself and invite everyone else over when he does! Pool tables are more affordable than you’d think; all he has to do is find a cheap pool table and buy some balls.

(9) Wine chiller

If he’s not able to keep his cellar at a consistent temperature, then he should invest in a wine chiller. It will prolong his wine-drinking experiences and make it that much easier for him to enjoy an entire bottle without having to drink warm swill. He can keep it in his man cave and store his favorites in it.

(10) Wine cabinet

A wine cabinet will allow him to store more than one bottle of his favorite vintage. It’ll be a lot easier for him to pour drinks when he doesn’t have to rummage through his cupboards and risk dropping a priceless bottle!
