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.
