Birthday Cards for Grandpa
Grandpas tend to insist they don't need anything for their birthday — which is exactly why a handmade card works. This set leans into grandpa territory: a vintage fishing creel on green plaid, a retro 'Dad, Grandpa and Fisherman' typographic design, and a painted collage of camping gear for the outdoorsman.
On the funny side there's a battered classic car in a party hat ('you're not old, you're just a little rusty') and a popsicle in shutter shades for the coolest Pop. A warm illustration of a grandpa hugging his grandchild, a blue-glitter World's Greatest Grandpa script, and a trophy coloring page for the grandkids round out the set.
Pick his favorite, write something inside that'll make him chuckle, and print it on one sheet of letter paper.
