No. 2Personalised Dressing Gown Adult
Sized small through extra large and embroidered with a name, this is the gown that gets worn every morning with the first cup of coffee. The name is added at checkout, so the size has to be right before you order.

Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 3Duo of Haute Cabriere and Lindt Chocolate
Haute Cabriere Chardonnay Pinot Noir with a hundred grams of Lindt milk, in a craft box or a satin-lined one. Glasses are not included, and it is one bottle rather than a hamper, which suits a small flat.
Skip it if they do not drink wine.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 4Personalised Retro Biltong Cutter
A retro-styled cutter engraved with a year, a name and a message, which turns a kitchen tool into something about their own history. Choose the year that means something to them; Montagu Halaal biltong and droëwors can be added at checkout.
Skip it if the year you would engrave is a guess.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 5La Motte Millenium and Lindt Gift
Millennium from La Motte with a slab of Lindt milk, small enough not to embarrass anyone and good enough to be opened. A gift box is an option, and the duo adds a second bottle if it is for both of them.
Skip it if the household does not keep wine.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 6Personalised Signature Biltong Cutter
Engraved with their name, surname and a message from you, this wooden cutter is for the grandfather who still makes his own biltong. Add the biltong option if you would rather he did not start from nothing.
Skip it if he has cut biltong with the same knife for forty years.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 7Personalised Pretty Florals Chocolate Tray
Belgian truffles on two twelve-piece trays under a floral sleeve that carries their name. The sleeve is personalised at checkout, and there is a version that adds a teddy bear if a small grandchild is handing it over.
Skip it if they would rather have something savoury than another box of chocolate.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 8Personalised Floral Initial Pamper Hatbox
Vanilla candle and pamper bits packed into a pink hat box marked with their initial, in three sizes. Suits someone whose idea of a good evening is a long bath; the initial goes in at checkout.
Not for someone who finds scented products a nuisance.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 9Classic Bon Appetit Hamper
Nougat, chocolate, biltong, dried fruit and a bottle of wine in one hamper, built to be opened with company rather than alone. Three sizes, and it carries a short message at checkout if you want one on it.
Skip it if they do not drink and the wine would go to waste.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 10Personalised Biltong Cutter
Their name engraved on a large wooden cutter, plain rather than decorated, for a grandfather who cuts his own and does not want a gadget. The second option adds droëwors and biltong pieces so there is something to cut straight away.
Skip it if he already has a cutter that works fine.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 11Personalised Signature Wine Giftbox
Black box carrying their name and a message from you, with five wines to choose between. The choice is the useful part, since a wine lover usually has a side they drink and one they do not.
Skip it if you have no idea which of the five they would drink.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 12Personalised Queen Apron
An apron carrying the Queen of the kitchen design gives someone who cooks a useful layer. Their name can be added at checkout.
Skip it if they never wear aprons.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 13Delightful Roses and Lindt Crate
Cerise, orange, yellow and purple roses with Lindt truffles packed into the same crate, colour rather than the formal red bunch. It goes only to Joburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban.
Skip it if they live in a smaller town outside the metros.
Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban; check same-day availability
No. 14Personalised White Gown and Slippers Set
White fleece and matching slippers, both part of a set carrying a name stitched on to order, for the grandparent up before everyone else. It is a set rather than a single item, so it looks like more without being complicated.
Not for a house where the grandchildren visit every weekend.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 15Personalised Dark Blue Fleece Gown
Fleece in a dark blue that does not show every tea stain, with a name on it. Sizes run small to extra large, and the embroidery is done to order, so nothing can be exchanged afterwards.
Skip it if their size is a guess.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 16The Biltong Box
Three sizes of assorted beef biltong, sliced, droëwors, sticks and pieces, all Halaal and Kosher certified. It is the gift for a grandfather who says he wants nothing and then finishes the bag in two days.
Skip it if chewing tough biltong is hard on their teeth.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 17Personalised Floral Gown
Floral-print gown with a name of your choosing embroidered on it, softer looking than the plain fleece ones. It is the version to send when the gift should look like a gift rather than a household item.
Not for someone who wears nothing patterned.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 18Amarula and Chocolate Happiness
Amarula Cream comes with six Ferrero Rocher for someone who enjoys an after-dinner drink and chocolate. A wine-box option adds a more formal presentation.

Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 19Personalised Johnnie Walker Whisky Box
Whisky in a black box printed with their name and a message, with a choice of Johnnie Walker Red, Black or Gold Label. The box is the part that gets kept, so it suits someone who has drunk the same label for years.
Skip it if he no longer drinks spirits or is on medication.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address

No. 21Munch Monster Hamper
Snacks across the sweet and savoury range in one hamper, in sizes that go from a single-person box up to something for a table. It suits a house where grandchildren arrive on a Sunday and eat everything in sight.
Skip it if there is nobody around to help finish it.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 22Personalised Purple Gown
Velvet-look fleece in purple, embroidered with whichever name you give at checkout, and slippers are not part of it. The simplest gown here, which suits someone who already has slippers they will not give up.
Skip it if their size is anything more than a good guess.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 23Dark Chocolate Nut Tray
Lindt dark chocolate, peanut clusters, Ferrero and Halaal-certified Montagu nuts on a divided tray, in two sizes. The dark chocolate makes it less sweet than most of these boxes, if that is what they like.
Skip it if they only eat milk chocolate.
Nationwide delivery; confirm arrival for your option and address
No. 24Personalised Floral Mug
A floral mug carries their name and a message from you. Tea and biscotti options turn it into a small break-time gift for someone who enjoys a hot drink.

How to choose a gift for Grandparents' Day
Prices on this page run from under R200 to R750–1 000; 3 of the 24 picks are under R300. This list leans towards personalised gifts and things to eat. 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 Grandparents' Day 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 Grandparents' Day itself (Wines, Biltong, Chocolate & Nougat 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.
