Hi guys,

I'm looking for a bit of advice. My Grandad passed away last week and my dad has given me £1000 to buy something to remember him by. My dad wants me to buy something I'll keep for life and all I can think of is a watch or a guitar.

Does anyone have any recommendations with regards to a watch for just over £1000?

Thanks :)
 
What did you and your grandad do together? I'd be inclined to get something that will remind you of him. For example if he worked on cars look at getting a really top tool set with some of the money.

Nothing like that really. We got on really well though. Thanks anyway.
 
Watch is a good idea as you'll always have a use for it. Guitar is also a good idea but in the years to come you may not use it.
 
I'd be inclined to go with the whole "If you have to think to find something, then don't get anything"

Hang onto the money till you see something that really will be worth spending the money on?
 
Watch seems like the best idea, or failing that take part of his ashes and take them somewhere in the World that meant a lot to him, or somewhere that he always wanted to be and scatter them there.
 
I don't know really very hard question, firstly sorry to hear of your loss.

As to your question. I only have two keepsakes of those who have passed on, a couple of porcelain whiskey jars of my nains (as they remind me of how her flat was decorated when we went round ) and 2 model boats my next door neighbour made and gave to me as a kid ( his two hobbies where making wooden model boats and growing cacti ).

So I would suggest something your Grandad would have loved himself, maybe something assciated with a sport he supported or something related to his hobby or job possibly, or something that reminds you of how he liked to decorate his home.

Another way to think about it might be if he where still with us what would he buy you if he came into a windfall.

As I say my condolances
