Top 10 Gifts for Grumpy Old Men



They can be difficult to please... okay, impossible to please, but I've done some research and found the top 10 gifts for grumpy old men.

I'm certain that any of these gifts will amuse him, even though he probably won't admit it. And at the very least... they'll amuse you! :)

#1 Anger Management Mug

I Don't Need Anger Management Mug

A clear (and, let's face it, witty) message printed on both sides of this stein mug gets your favorite grumpy old man's point across in no uncertain terms. The message is also available on other styles of mugs, starting at $13.95 for a classic white coffee mug with the message on both sides.

This official guide to grumpy old men, based on the TV series, is not only a great resource for you (have a read through it before you wrap it for him), but it will definitely please him - even though he won't admit it! ;) It will give him confirmation that he's "right" about how annoying the world is, and that he's not the only one who thinks so. Written in a fun, tongue-in-cheek tone, if anything's going to bring a smile to his face, this is it!

#3 Grumpy Mug - I Don't Do Mornings

#5 Grumpy Pocket Watch

Grumpy Pocket Watch

Ewatchfactory Men's 56403-3477 Disney Grumpy Pocket Watch

Amazon Price: $31.99 (as of 06/01/2012)Buy Now

This is one of my favorite gifts for grumpy old men - it is such a cute and unusual piece! Pocket watches are quaint and fabulous anyway, but one with Grumpy on it, is just adorable!

... and for the grumpy old man who doesn't "do" pocket watches (or already has one) - a Grumpy wrist watch! This is a more subtle statement of grumpiness - a less obvious illustration of Grumpy, on a very beautiful and elegant watch. A whisper of grumpy, you could say. ;) Oh... and it's water resistant to 33 feet (10 meters) should he decide to go diving... you can just see it can't you! The fish, the choral, the silent bubbles... and him and his watch, scowling at the sea creatures. ;)
