No. 10Blushing Wine and Lindt Choc Duo
Protea Rosé with a Lindt white chocolate slab, in a craft box or a satin-lined one. A light, uncomplicated pairing for someone who drinks rosé in summer rather than collecting bottles.

Carries his name and a year in a wreath design on a whiskey glass, and it arrives in its own hat box. Good for a milestone he would rather not discuss, and you can add a second glass so you drink with him.
Skip it if he does not drink spirits.

No. 15Personalised Pretty Florals Chocolate Tray
Twenty-four Belgian truffles under a floral sleeve carrying your message, which turns a box of chocolates into something specific. Enough for someone who shares and still has some left on Monday.

No. 18Nuts About Chocolate Snack Crate

Skip it if he cannot manage nuts.

Oreos, droëwors, BBQ peanuts, a Kit Kat and Pringles in a bucket, which is a young man's idea of snacks handed to an older one. Three sizes, and it goes down well with grandchildren in the room.

How to choose a gift for your grandfather
Prices on this page run from R200–300 to R750–1 000; 9 of the 24 picks are under R300. This list leans towards things to eat and personalised gifts. 22 of them deliver nationwide; the rest are metro-only, and the retailer page shows the next delivery date for your area. Start from the price band you have in mind, then read the note under each pick: it says who the thing is really for and who should skip it. Where a pick is filed for your grandfather by the retailer itself we say so; where a page borrows from a neighbouring list we say that too.
Where this list comes from: we read NetFlorist's whole catalogue, keep only what it files for your grandfather itself (Gourmet, Confectionery & sweets, Apparel among the categories here), rank by where NetFlorist places each item, what its buyers have said and how the price sits, and write our own note on who it suits and who should skip it. We have not handled these products and do not say we have. Commission never touches the order. Price bands come from NetFlorist's prices on 7 September 2026; the retailer page is the truth on the day. The full method.
