Personalised gifts for a 60 year old man

Personalised leather belt

This handmade one is my pick.

Hobby based gifts for him

You could base the gift around his interests, such as golf, fishing, gardening, cooking, reading, or other hobbies.

Golf related

You could get him something more practical for his golf, but I love these golf balls, where you can put their face.

Fishing equipment

This 60th Birthday Fishing Angling Mug is very appropriate.

Personalised Garden Tools

These gardening tools can be engraved with a message.

Cooking gifts

The Hairy Bikers: Our Family Favourites, would be a great choice if picking a cook book as a gift.

Experience gifts

Things like concert tickets, sports events, wine tasting classes. Or even make your own voucher, for services such as you gardening, cleaning etc.  

I would be wary of companies that sell ‘experiences in a box’, where the recipient picks their own experience from a website, although these are fine they often represent poor value for money, and it is better to go directly to the vendor.

Theatre tickets

You could buy vouchers for the theatre. Personally I would use them to see Fawlty Towers!

Whisky tasting

How about tickets to the nearest Whisky tasting. Or if you can’t get there in person, this one comes through the post.

Tech Gadgets

It is very likely a 60 year old man will like tech gadgets, here are a few ideas for gifts.

Multi-tool pen

Who wouldn’t want this MultiTool Pen with 9 functions.

Remote Control Plane

They may be 60, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to have fun. This remote control plane looks great fun.

Bluetooth Sleep Mask Headphones

These look great, a probably will be loved by anyone!

Classic gifts

Whisky or Wine Set

This Jack Daniels in a guitar case looks pretty cool.

Leather journal

For jotting down ideas or reflections. Here is the perfect gift for anyone turning 60 who has a bucket list of things they want to do in their 60th year.

Cosy dressing gown or slippers

Like this Tokyo Laundry Men’s Towncraft Striped Soft Fleece Dressing Gown.
