Birthdays are always an exciting celebration, but as you hit the bigger milestones like turning 30, 40, 50 and 60, they start to become even more meaningful. And that means, finding a fun or sentimental gift idea for the birthday person also becomes more of a challenge. While diamonds are the traditional gift for 60th birthdays (just like anniversaries!), they are obviously pricey. Luckily, you don’t need to stick with tradition to give a truly unique and meaningful gift, and our list of the best 60th birthday gifts prove that.
Before you dive in, think about who you’re shopping. While Dad may tend to like cheaper, gag gifts, Mom may want something more from the heart. For everyone else, like your brother and sister, or uncle and aunt, think of their personality and hobbies to whittle down what they really like to do now that they are entering their golden years. There are so many unusual and affordable (yep, cool gifts under $20!) that will impress even the person who has everything. And because it is a big day, there are a few luxury items here that are well worth the investment (but aren’t the price of jewels).
