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!
