A 60th birthday is a momentous occasion and should be celebrated with gifts to remember and cherish forever.
60th birthday presents from the grandchildren have a very big significance to grandfathers and have far more value to them than what they cost. A gift from the grandchildren that shows real thought and originality will be remembered and used long after granddad has turned 61.
Personalised 60th presents are a fantastic way of showing your granddad that you have given their gift a lot of thought. It will give them something truly unique that will be a talking point long after they have turned 61! They can be bought for less than £5 too so if the grandkids want to get granddad something with their own money it is possible no matter what their age, You can get almost anything personalised. From paperweights to notebooks to calendars to jewellery to keyrings - the possibilities are endless. A photograph of the grandkids in a personalised photo frame will be worth far more to granddad than a gold Rolex watch surely?
As far as 60th birthday gifts go, nothing will be more fascinating than a newspaper from the day the birthday boy was born. These newspapers are inexpensive ways of creating a real talking point. Everyone will want to see what the big stories were 60 years ago. The grandkids will love learning about how the world was in 1950 and granddad can reminisce about life under King George VI and the birth of Prince Philip. You can also buy CDs that have songs specifically from the year of granddad's birth. These CDs are a great 'stocking filler' present and are a fantastic idea for a party as they can play in the background and everyone can wallow in the nostalgia of Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and even the young Frank Sinatra.
An often overlooked idea to celebrate a birthday as momentous as a 60th is a day out or even a weekend away. Whisky will be drunk but the memories of a brilliant experience last forever. If your granddad is turning 60 soon why not treat him and grandma to a day at a vineyard? Perfect for a wine enthusiast, he will get a tour of a beautiful vineyard, lunch and, of course, plenty of wine tasting.
If, as in most families, granddad's football team loyalties have been passed down through the generations it's a great idea to treat him to a day tour of his team's grounds. These tours are available for many Premiership teams including Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United and frequently include lunch. You can buy individual tours but often you can get family tickets and what better
60th birthday presents for granddad than memories of walking with his grandkids on his and their team's hallowed turf? If football isn't granddad's thing, there are also tours of rugby grounds such as Twickenham available. Experiences as gifts are a very original idea and, although they can cost hundreds of pounds, they can also be bought for under £50. For the thrill seekers, a ride in a powerboat is available or for something a little more sedate he can go on a helicopter ride. For something the whole family can enjoy, why not take three generations go-karting. Granddad can show dad and the grandkids how it's really done!
If granddad is a bit of an Elvis or Sinatra fan (and as a teenager in the swinging 60s he surely will be a fan) then maybe he would jump at the chance to be a crooner for the day. After all, it's not just teenage girls who want to be pop stars! For between £80 and £230 (depending on the length of the session) you can get granddad recording his favourite track ('Love Me Tender' is always a popular choice) in a professional recording studio with an engineer. If his granddaughter or grandson is another budding pop legend then there are sessions for two available and a recording of granddad and grandson recording 'My Way' will create memories that last a lifetime and a CD that will be played endlessly for birthdays still to come. Accompany this day at a recording studio with a personalised rock-star birthday card and you have created one of the most unforgettable 60th birthday presents of all time.
Finally, for green-fingered granddads out there, there are a number of gardening gifts available. From a garden gnome he can paint himself (or the grandchildren can paint) to a luxury basket of gardening tools and seeds, there are lots of options that he certainly won't expect to receive.
