- Give a grumpy man a gift that will cheer and encourage him.elderly/man and woman leaving hand in hand image by L. Shat from Fotolia.com
Cheer up the grumpy man in your life with a creative gift that reminds him that he is unique and that you appreciate him. Acknowledge your father, grandfather, brother, husband or any elderly friend. Grumpiness can increase with age, so give a gift that will make him smile---and maybe even laugh a little. - Make a joke book. Search free online joke websites and use the jokes as inspiration for your own. Print the jokes on pieces of sturdy card stock and have them bound at an office supply store or copy center. Title the book in a way that incorporates the gift recipient's name, such as "Bud's Book of Jokes" or "Twenty Minutes of Chuckles for Dan."
- Purchase tickets for a night at your local comedy club. A few days before the show tell your favorite grumpy man that you are "kidnapping" him. Surprise him with a night full of laughs.
- What television shows made your grumpy man laugh when he was a child? Purchase a DVD collection of television comedies from an online vendor or a movie or discount store. Grab a bowl of popcorn and hit "play."
