You’ll find a million lists online covering the best gifts for Father’s Day, but not as many for our beloved grandfathers. That’s why, this year we’ve made a list of the 7 best gift ideas for grandpa this Father’s Day.
Sorrento’s Father’s Day Lunch Pizza & Beer Special | $24.90 | June 15th
We put this at the top of the list because, humbly, we think it may be the best idea here. We’re holding our annual Father’s Day Lunch on Sunday, June 15th, from 12 to 2 pm.

The event is free for residents and $24.90 for guests. Kindly RSVP by June 9th through our concierge at (647)-317-7242.
Masterclass Online Classes | $96 | One-Year Access
Masterclass is a fantastic series of online classes taught by famous experts. An annual membership comes in at just $96 and gives you access to the full library of classes, so whether grandpa has a niche interest or is just a lifelong learner, there’s bound to be something for him. Here’s a quick list of some of the most popular classes:
For those with loved ones at Sorrento, we offer computer stations and regular academic lectures in our theatre.
Sangean WR-15 Table Top Radio | $135.53
If grandpa loves music and has a penchant for all things analog, the Sangean WR-15 Table Top Radio was rated the best table top radio by the New York Times. Not only can they tune in to their favourite station, but it makes for a nice accent piece in their suite.
“Golden Birdie” Nose Hair Trimmer | $23.37
We all need a few extra tools to help us adjust to the new realities of grooming as we get older. The “Golden Birdie” Nose and Ear Hair Trimmer is a must-have item for most grandfathers. This no-battery analog hair trimmer is a not-so-subtle hint that his sniffer needs some sculpting. We want grandpa to look his best, after all.
Author Clock | $275
This aesthetically pleasing digital clock comes at a pretty penny but it’s a thoughtful gift for book-lovers. The clock showcases quotes from famous literary works that mention the current time. For example, if it’s 12:00 AM, it might show the quote, “Tis now struck twelve, get thee to bed, Francisco”, from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The quotes are regularly updated, and the clock comes in a large display size for easier reading.
L.L. Bean Men’s Sweater Fleece Scuffs | $79
Everybody deserves a comfy pair of slippers, and if grandpa’s pair are past their due date, these may be the slippers for him. L.L. Bean’s Men’s Sweater Fleece Scuffs were featured in the New York Time’s best slippers list and are light-weight, simple, and come with a durable rubber sole.
The Loopy Lou | $119
If grandpa has a habit of making silly jokes, this is the perfect gift for him. The Loopy Lou is an analog toy that allows you to record sound, play it back, and distort it. It’s a fun way to leave secret messages or tell a joke, which will cement his fun grandpa status for years to come.
