for everyone else i'm making reindeer poop and doing can of beans things but i'm stuck with what to do for my grandma husband.
hes a quite serious man and my grandma has recently pass away so i don't want to do anything to upset him as the gift will be given in front of everyone.
I also don't have the type of realtionship to give him a box of hugs unless it came from the kids.
any ideas would be great thank you

What about a mini hamper? does he enjoy gardening? Go along with a theme hes into or a nice hamper with some home made biscuits, chutneys, slipper socks etc.
That way it is personal, made with love, shows your thinking of him and can be as serious as you like.

The previous post is a great idea, I'll add maybe a book on whatever his interests are.

Or maybe a nutural subject like a Nature Book, for example.

sorry I should of made myself alittle clearer I'm making all the men food hampers this is just a add on cause i'm getting others a funny gift and didn't want to look like i'd forgot him.
he does like gardening and I have a money plant so maybe I could give him a clipping with a poem or something like I wanted to give you money as a present but I have none so heres a tree to grow your own.

What about a nice photo of your late grandma? Maybe with you? Older folk seem to like family pics..
