This gardening kit veers from the norm in that it provides a much-needed seat, which Grandpa will seriously appreciate sitting on in between pruning and planting new seeds. It also comes with a tool bag that can be attached to the folding chair, allowing for easier and more comfortable access to his gardening tools.

He still loves to garden, but it is getting difficult for him to do it. This seat is so practical with all of the pockets for him to carry his tools. It is lightweight but sturdy, a definite win!”


For the grandpa who loves nature: Nature Anywhere transparent window bird feeder

If your grandpa enjoys watching the birds from his home, he’ll love this unique birdhouse from Nature Anywhere. This transparent window bird feeder allows him to behold the birds close by, compared to traditional birdhouses that have to be hung in a tree further away. It’s super easy to install with the suction cups, may be easier to refill feed (instead of having to take it down from a tree) and can handle temperatures between -20 and 120 degrees. 

The Nature Anywhere transparent window bird feeder has a 4.7-star rating on Amazon. One reviewer wrote, “My father is in a nursing home and his room has a window. I applied the birdfeeder and filled it with good quality bird seed. He has enjoyed lying in his bed, watching the various birds, and one intrepid squirrel feeding from the birdfeeder. There has been some heavy rain as well as strong wind and the birdfeeder is still attached to the window.” 


For the grandpa who is all about comfort: Ugg Ascot slippers

Zappos


Treat your grandpa to the soothing feel of wool slippers this Father’s Day. Not only are these slippers super comfortable, but they’re also practical with their cushioned foam footbed and rubber outsole, so your grandpa can wear these both around the house or while out running quick errands. Plus, the suede exterior has been treated to make it water-repellent, enhancing the slipper’s durability. Get these in one of seven colors. 

The Ugg Ascot slippers have more than 4,900 reviews on Zappos. One reviewer wrote, “These were a gift to my father who is in his 80’s. He loves them. Very comfortable, easy on and off, good grip when walking around.” 


For the grandpa who can’t get enough photos of his grandkids: Aura Carver digital picture frame

Your grandpa will love the slideshow of family pictures that can be displayed on this picture frame.

The Aura Carver digital picture frame has a 4.8-star rating on Amazon. One reviewer wrote, “We had so many beautiful pictures of our grandchildren on our phones, but we wanted to see them all the time. Crystal clear display.

If your dad is a new grandpa this year, the best gift is one that is sentimental. Commemorate his new familial role with this lovely personalized card for first-time grandpas. It’s simple yet effective, and better yet, will be easier to display with its wood material. Attach your favorite photo of your child with his grandpa and he will no doubt be touched. 

Since this item is handmade and comes from a small business, we recommend you order it ASAP to ensure it arrives on time for Father’s Day. One reviewer who purchased this for Father’s Day already wrote, “I’m so excited to give this to my dad with my daughter’s picture!” Another customer who bought the first-time grandma version of this gift said, “Great product!

Smithey


The Smithey No. 12 is as fancy as cast iron skillets come to be. The polished, brass-colored finish is a nice departure from traditional, no-frills cast iron skillets, but the quality isn’t sacrificed. Like the average cast iron skillet, this can be used on multiple cooktop surfaces, including campfires. This No. 12 model is big enough to cook for up to four people, allowing Grandpa to contribute to family meals. 

The Smithey No. 12 has more than 700 reviews on its site. One customer said, “I love it… I’ve only had it for a week and have used it half a dozen times already. I did the smothered pork chops last night from your [Smithey’s] website and it was delicious… my wife is extremely happy that I bought it.”


For grandpas who love personalized gifts: NellaGiftsUS custom baby face mug

This mug will spark plenty of joy for Grandpa every morning when he sees his grandbabies’ faces while drinking coffee.

All the shop asks you to do is send a high-quality picture (or pictures) and they’ll take care of the needed cropping. Because this is custom, we highly recommend ordering ASAP to ensure that this arrives in time for Father’s Day.

If your grandpa golfs regularly, he probably already has everything he needs to do his game. Given that, one of the best golf gifts you can give is more personalized golf balls, such as this funny Father’s Day set, specifically made for Grandpa.

Former New York Gov. David Paterson, stepson attacked while walking in New York City

NEW YORK — Former New York Gov. David Paterson and his stepson were attacked in New York City on Friday night, authorities said.

The incident occurred just before 9 p.m. on Second Avenue near East 96th Street on the Upper East Side, according to the New York City Police Department.

Police said officers were sent to the scene after an assault was reported. When officers arrived, police say they found a 20-year-old man suffering from facial injuries and a 70-year-old man who had head pain. Both victims were taken to a local hospital in stable condition.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the former governor said the two were attacked while “taking a walk around the block near their home by some individuals that had a previous interaction with his stepson.” 

The spokesperson said that they were injured “but were able to fight off their attackers.” 

Both were taken to Cornell Hospital “as a precaution,” he added. 

Police said no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.

The 70-year-old Paterson, a Democrat, served as governor from 2008 to 2010, stepping into the post after the resignation of Eliot Spitzer following his prostitution scandal. He made history at the time as the state’s first-ever Black and legally blind governor.

A 17-year-old boy was critically injured and a person is in custody after a gunman opened fire on a SEPTA bus in North Philadelphia Friday evening, police said.

At around 6:15 p.m., Philadelphia police were notified about a shooting on a SEPTA bus traveling on Allegheny Avenue near 3rd and 4th streets in North Philadelphia, Inspector D F Pace told CBS News Philadelphia.

There were an estimated 30 people on the bus at the time of the shooting, Pace said, but only the 17-year-old boy was believed to have been shot. Investigators said they believe it was a targeted attack on the teenager and that he was shot in the back of the bus at close range.

According to Pace, the SEPTA bus driver alerted a control center about the shooting, which then relayed the message to Philadelphia police, who responded to the scene shortly.

Officers arrived at the scene and found at least one spent shell casing and blood on the bus, but no shooting victim, Pace said. Investigators later discovered the 17-year-old had been taken to Temple University Hospital where he is said to be in critical condition, according to police.

Through their preliminary investigation, police learned those involved in the SEPTA shooting may have fled in a silver-colored Kia.

Authorities then found a car matching the description of the Kia speeding in the area and a pursuit began, Pace said. Police got help from a PPD helicopter as they followed the Kia, which ended up crashing at 5th and Greenwood streets in East Mount Airy. Pace said the Kia crashed into a parked car.

The driver of the crashed car ran away but police were still able to take them into custody, Pace said. 

Investigators believe there was a second person involved in the shooting who ran from the car before it crashed. Police said they believe this person escaped near Allegheny Avenue and 4th Street, leaving a coat behind. 

According to Pace, police also found a gun and a group of spent shell casings believed to be involved in the shooting in the same area.

“It’s very possible that there may have been a shooting inside the bus and also shots fired from outside of the bus toward the bus,” Pace said, “We’re still trying to piece all that together at this time.”

This is an active investigation and police are reviewing surveillance footage from the SEPTA bus.
