60th Birthday Gift Ideas
So, they're partied through the 30th, 40th and 50th…. It's onto good ole' number 60! Although the celebrant may not feel as young as he or she used to, they will welcome a gift that marks the occasion. Keep in mind that by now he or she has been over the hill for quite some time and deserves a gift that says more than, "Ha, ha. You're old!" So this time around, look for useful, practical and thoughtful gifts. Here are some ideas to help get you started:
Classic Movie/TV Collection: Whether they're crazy about movies or not, they're sure to love a collection of their favorite movies or television shows on DVD or video. Look for Abbott & Costello, I Love Lucy or the Three Stooges. Or ask around to find out what type of movies and shows they like.
Birthday Newspaper: Is that birthday boy or girl a bit nostalgic? Would they enjoy a gift commemorating the year that they were born? If so, give them a birthday newspaper that tells about the events that occurred on that fateful day not so long ago. Makes a unique sixtieth birthday gift idea.
Automatic Jar Opener: They'll never struggle with a jar lid again with this practical gift. An automatic jar opener does just what the name implies - it opens jar lids with the touch of a button. No more tugging or poking a butter knife underneath the flap. Simple, quick and easy to use - it's a gift that they'll appreciate.
Lamp: Extra lighting is always a good thing. A pillar or table lamp will add a nice decorative touch to their room, while helping to save their eyesight. You can also find lighted glass lamps online that can be personalized for a human touch.
Reacher: A reacher is a popular pick-up tool and will help save an aching back. Lightweight, yet precise, a reacher can be used for hundreds of jobs. With a reacher, your favorite sixty year old can easily retrieve items from a high shelf in the kitchen or garage, reach for items behind the dryer or pick up dropped items with ease.
Multi-Function Pen: They will fancy this handy little gadget and it won't take long for them to figure out. It's like having a toolbox within a pen, with over 10 different tools all in one. Whether they need to cut, carve, tweeze or file - this gizmo can handle it all!
Milestone birthdays are a cause for celebration, as they only happen once in a person's lifetime. Make number 6-0 one to remember. Choose a gift from above or have fun coming up with one of your own. Enjoy shopping!
