Hey all, wonder if you can help, lost my granddad recently and wanted to buy myself something from some of the inheritance that I can keep as a kind of memory.

Only problem is what do men really have as an item to keep? This is probably me being short sighted. When my Nan died I bought myself a nice watch (IWC). So another watch, whilst nice, would probably be wasteful. Some nice cuff links was my next go to as I work in the city, however i wouldn't mind some other ideas, or to hear from others who have bought gifts in these circumstances. If this is actually a done thing?!

Cheers all.
 
Thanks for suggestions guys.

I'm currently on the verge of moving out, some of the inheritance went on stuff for the house, but one day these will break/ be redundant. That's why I would like something to keep, hopefully forever.

He was in a home for 4 years (dementia) so when he's house was sold, so a home would accept him knowing we had enough money, all his possessions more or less were divided up between his 3 sons and my mum. So not much in the form of personal possessions came my way.

Also we aren't talking silly inheritance. £500.
 
Seems the arguing over inheritance/ money is far too common. Makes me sick. As sad as it is after recent events and attitudes regarding it all I'm done with 2 of my mums brothers and their families. Behaviour has been nothing short of disgusting...

Why do you need to buy something in order to remember him by? Surely the memories alone will keep him alive in your thoughts and not some material item.

I said kind of memory. Obviously I will always remember him regardless. He has kindly left me some money in his will, I would like to buy something to keep forever instead of spunking it up the wall.

Thought this was pretty common place?
