What to give a man for 60 years - a selection of the best gift ideas

Tips for the guest

What is he like, a man of sixty? The number in the passport does not always reflect the actual age of the man. Now in front of us a man is an educated, experienced, thrifty landlord. He has lived long enough, he has seen life in all its beauty. The birthday boy does not need idle trinkets. But at the same time, accepts, as a tribute to years gone by, collections of coins, rare devices, books.

What we won't donate

1. Financials. Forget about bright envelopes with money inside. A 60 years old man is a self-sufficient, well-off and serious person. The jubilee simply will not accept such a gift or hold a grudge.
2. Pets. Give a puppy, a kitten, a parrot or any other animal you can in agreement with the birthday person. Agree, the sudden appearance in the life of the birthday boy of a new pet - this is a great responsibility.
3. Kitchen set. Absolutely not a suitable gift for a man.
4. Perfume, wristwatches, closet details. Leave the birthday boy to personally make such purchases. Own style, as we know, form each individually.
5. Souvenirs. Such a gift is more suitable for the celebration of the 35-40 years, but not for the 60-year anniversary.

Different categories of gifts

Each person is different, as are his hobbies and preferences. It is impossible to collect all the jubilees under one category. But there are a number of features that unite men of 60 years. Focusing on these characteristics, we have made selections of gifts for each category of men.

Choosing a gift for dad

1. Rocking chair. Add a cozy warm plaid to the chair and set it on the summer terrace, on the balcony, in the garden (if the birthday boy lives in the private sector).
2. A set of tools, car accessories. Man car enthusiast spends 60% of his life with his favorite "swallow". Find out in advance what equipment or a set of parts he would like to have. Purchase and present it on the day of his name day.
3. A video recorder. The situation is the same as with the repair kit.
4. Ashtray, pipe, smoking accessories. Nowadays there is a wide enough choice of decorative smoking pipes, sets of tobacco, cigarette cases. If you wish, you can combine a rocking chair and a wooden pipe for smoking. A man is a romantic at heart. He is sure to appreciate your gift over a cup of tea on a warm autumn evening.

6. An elegant barrel for alcoholic beverages.

A gift for your husband

Several decades together is a lifetime. Therefore, a gift for your husband should be special, important and practical in every way.

• A professional portrait. Order a three-dimensional painting from an artist, plus framing. Done! You can hang the portrait in the most prominent place in the house.
• A wristwatch. Such a gift is acceptable to make a loving spouse. You know the style and preferences of your spouse. Order a name engraving for the gift.
• A convenient suitcase for traveling. The originality of such a gift will add two tickets for a vacation. And you'll need a case for practical packing on the road.
• Stash Bar. Such a gift cannot be hidden from the birthday boy. So agree with him all your actions, but design it yourself. It is also desirable to fill the bar shelves with expensive alcoholic beverages. An empty cabinet looks indecent!
• A case for glasses. Do you want to make an original gift? Order individual work to the master-artist. He will choose a form, paint a case for a specific style. And for an extra fee will do a personal inscription and greeting for the birthday boy. Today the most popular cases are made of burnt wood, covered with paint and varnish.
• Compact lawnmower. At the age of 60, the soul requires home comfort and peace. Your gift will help your husband create comfort by decorating the patio. Give the birthday boy the opportunity to show his design skills.

What to present a colleague
