60th Gifts for Him

Whether he’s growing old disgracefully or with a bit of tact, the soon-to-be sixty-year-old man in your life is probably going through a lot of emotions, especially since, according to GQ, men turning sixty are more likely to buy faster cars, date younger women and dress in clothes that your average twenty-something year old would wear. With that in mind, you could either add fuel to the fire or present a gift that will make him appreciate this new chapter in life. It’s a tricky thing, buying for a sixty-year-old man, isn’t it? Not only do you have to find a gift he will love and appreciate, you have to come to terms with how you find that 60th birthday gift for him in general. Do you love it or loathe it? Are you the type of person who scours every corner of the internet in search for that perfect item, or do you pick the first thing you see within budget and gift it without a thought as to whether they’ll like it or not? However you gift, we have plenty of gift inspiration for you that we’ve split into three major gifting categories: experience, sentimental and smiles and laughter.

WHAT TO BUY FOR HIS 60TH BIRTHDAY?

EXPERIENCE

At this point in his life, he’ll be telling you all about the good old days: the summer of ’76 when a heatwave blasted through the UK, the time he went abroad for the first time with his mates, causing anarchy in his local community as a kid. Give him something new to talk about with an unforgettable experience. From burning tyres on the racetrack (feeding that youthful feeling!) and discovering new drink experiences to fulfilling a life-long passion and getting away from everyday life, there’s plenty of choice.

SENTIMENTAL

Every man has a sentimental side to him; even the biggest, hardest, scariest looking ones. He wants to feel loved just as much as the rest of us, so show that with a gift that might just bring a tear to his eye. Engrave a pocket watch with your own words so he can carry them wherever he goes, at least on those special occasions. That's just one of our many personalised jewellery gifts. Showcase his pride and love for family with a Coat of Arms that describes the history of his surname. Give him a daily reason to smile with a personalised wall art of your choice that he can display at home. The sixty-year-old man that you adore will appreciate you and his life even more.

SMILES & LAUGHTER

Whatever his age, a good old laugh is paramount to any birthday, right? We have a host of gifts that specify in hilarity and sometimes stupidity. Give him the “cure” to his snoring habits and watch how he exclaims he “doesn’t snore” or watch his face glower as you present this inflatable zimmer frame. Indulge his offensive side with a pen set that shows his exact feelings without ever saying a word. He’s sure to chuckle at the sight of them, and at how well you know him.
