It sounds like your grandpa values the time you spend with him and the things you do together. For a meaningful gift, consider something that you can do together, or that reminds him of those shared experiences.
One idea is to create a memory book or photo album filled with pictures of the two of you doing things that he enjoys. You could include some short stories about your memories together, and maybe even some handwritten notes or drawings. This would be a sentimental and personal gift that he could look back on for years to come.
Another idea is to plan a day out doing one of his favorite activities, whether that's visiting a museum, going fishing, or attending a sports game. Pre-planning and taking care of all the details shows how much you value his time and company, while also giving you a chance to create more special memories together.
If you think he'd like something more tangible, consider getting him something related to mining. This could be a piece of mining equipment, a book or movie about mining, or even a mining-themed board game or puzzle. You could also look into finding a replica of the mine where you and your grandpa have worked together, if there is one like that. Whatever you choose, make sure it's something that he'll use and enjoy.
Whatever you decide to give your grandpa this Christmas, make sure it's something that reminds him how important he is to you and how much you appreciate your relationship. The biggest gift of all is the time and love you share with each other.
Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
