Build your print from £9.99Put the grandchildren in it
This is the single change that turns a football gift into a family one. A print of grandad in the stand with the grandkids, all in club shirts with their own names on the back, tends to end up in the hallway rather than the spare room.
Go bigger than you think
Older eyes and busier walls both favour size. A framed A3 reads properly across a living room, where an A4 can get lost among photographs. If you are choosing between more detail and more size, choose size.
The ground he actually went to
Grandads care about the ground more than anyone. If he stood on a terrace before the seats went in, say so when you order, and pick the club and stand that match the years he talks about.
Shirt names that mean something
Use the names the family call each other rather than full names. Number the shirts with birth years or squad numbers of players he rates. Small touches like that are what he will point out when he shows people.
What to spend
Under £20 for a digital file you can frame yourself. £25 to £30 for a framed A4. £40 for a framed A3, which is the version most people pick for a milestone birthday or a first Christmas as a grandad.
Timings
Digital files arrive within 48 hours. Framed prints are posted, so allow several days, and longer near Christmas and Father's Day.
The gift he shows people
A custom print puts him and the grandchildren in the stand of the ground he has been going to for decades, with the right names on the backs of the shirts. It is a family photograph and a football gift at the same time.

Common questions
What do you buy a grandad who likes football?
A framed print of him in his club's stand with the grandchildren, with everyone's names on the shirts. It works better than club merchandise because it is about the family, not the badge.
How many people can be in the print?
You can add several people, each with their own shirt name and number, so the whole family can be in the stand together.
What size should I choose?
A framed A3 for a living room wall. A framed A4 works if wall space is tight.
