What to get Grandad: seven gifts from all the grandchildren
A grandad who has everything mostly wants you to visit, and to leave him something to look at between visits. So the gift that works is the one that puts his grandchildren in front of his eyes. The GRANDAD poster is the most direct: every letter holds one of their photos, from a single picture to twelve, and the preview shows the result before you order. On the table, the Breton bowls carry a first name each. On a branch each, the family tree writes what every one of them owes him. A snapshot of him with the grandchildren can be redrawn as a 3D animated movie too. If he has a classic car or a village he never leaves, both can become posters. Count €19.90 for an A4 poster, up to €69.90 for a large one. For his birthday or for Christmas, order ten days ahead.

Frequently asked questions
What do you get a grandad who has everything?
A gift where he sees his grandchildren: the GRANDAD poster, where each letter is a photo, or the Breton bowls with a first name on each. A grandad no longer needs things, but he will keep the ones that carry his family’s names, and he will show them to visitors.
What can all the grandchildren give together?
A poster, because there is room for everyone: the GRANDAD poster takes up to twelve photos, the Breton bowls seven names. One person puts it together with the photos everyone sends, and the preview on screen is exactly what gets printed.
Is there a Grandfathers’ Day?
In France, it is the first Sunday in October. In Spain, the Día de los Abuelos is 26 July. Order a week ahead for France, ten days for anywhere else in the EU: 48 hours in the workshop, then the transport.
A poster for a grandad who has never hung anything in his life?
The Breton bowls or the family tree: the first is about his table, the second reads like a family document, and neither looks like decoration. Choose the framed 30 × 40, which he can stand on a sideboard without drilling, and the wooden frame, which goes with everything.
What if he lives far away? How do we give it?
The parcel goes straight to his address. You can put the poster together from home, with the family’s photos, and enter his address at checkout. Allow a week for France, ten days elsewhere in the EU.
