Glamorous gifts for the sensational 60 | 60th Birthday Gifts from GettingPersonal.co.uk

29 December 2009

Getting glammed up is one of life's little pleasures. So, if you know someone who is just too demure or debonair for words and you want to buy them some glittering and glam 60th birthday gifts, sit back relax and read on. We'll tell you about some of the most sumptuous, sophisticated and elegant 60th birthday gifts money can buy...

Engraved Gifts
Personal and meaningful 60th birthday gifts that truly sparkle needn't be expensive. For years I loved engraved gifts but I was always really put out by the fact that it'd take a month of planning to get one made. First I'd need to find the perfect item to get engraved and then I'd need to find the engraver who I trusted to get the work done correctly and without any unsightly errors.
Usually I'd have to pay a lot for the item, such as a pair of cufflinks for my boyfriend and then, I'd have to put down a deposit with the engraver to get his initials engraved in to it and leave that precious item with them until such a time as they could fit the work in to their busy schedule.
Then, I'd finally pay them the rest of the money I owed them, which by that point was tons and I'd have my perfectly personalised cufflinks ready to go. These days things are much simpler. You can just jump online and order personalised cufflinks straight from a website and specify when you order them what you'd like to be engraved! Then they can be with you usually, within three days.
It's incredible but you can get engraved champagne glasses, tankards, hipflasks and items of jewellery, money boxes and keepsakes. The list is endless and all of them make fabulous 60th birthday gifts.

If you know someone who loves getting glammed up perhaps an engraved lipstick holder with a little internal mirror or a compact make-up mirror with a thoughtful message engraved on the back of it could be good gifts? Women who love to wear jewellery could also really love an engraved jewellery box as one of their 60th birthday gifts. Then, they'll have someone beautiful to stash their silver and pearls

Dancing and Dining
Some of the best 60th birthday gifts don't come in a box, they come in an envelope. We say this because experience days are gifts which come in the form of detailed certificates and vouchers and they allow the person you give them, to take part in exciting and indulgent activities.
It can be wonderful watching the smile on someone's face blossom as they open their silver 'live the dream' envelope to discover that they have been given the opportunity to do something really special as a gift.
If you know a 60 year old who loves to dine and dance then there are tons of experience days which would suit them! Introductory dance lessons which specialise in ballroom and salsa could make wonderful 60th birthday gifts. Equally, tickets for two to see a theatre show in London's west end with a pre or post show dinner could be a gorgeous and sophisticated present.
There are loads of other classy and charming experience days available though which make just as good 50th birthday gifts. You can learn to make chocolates and take a box home with you or even have a glamorous photo shoot for two.

Inspiring Gifts
Of all the special occasions out there, a person's sixtieth birthday is one of the most important! It heralds the beginning of a stage in life when you can start to relax and worry more about yourself than your career (or the kids!) The hope is that by the time you're 60, you'll be starting to think about retirement and spending more time on your hobbies and interests.
If that reminds you of the friend you have in mind who will be turning 60 soon, then you'll want to get them extra special 60th birthday gifts and looking to their pastimes and hobbies is a good place to find inspiration. If your friend or loved one doesn't have many hobbies perhaps you can help to encourage them to start some by choosing gifts that give them a taste of fun activities.
For example, if you think a friend of yours might benefit from learning more about cooking you could get them Indian cookery lessons as an experience day, or purchase them a few cook books and the Learn It World Cooking Gift box as 50th birthday gifts. 'Learn It' gift boxes give the person who completes the fun coursework inside a recognised qualification!
