60th Birthday Gifts – Decadent Gift Ideas for Men & Women Turning Sixty

Rae Oliver October 21, 2020

Six decades of life are a true milestone, so your 60th birthday gifts should be all about spoiling the person. The event is someone’s personal diamond jubilee, which makes it a time for decadence and extravagance.

If they haven’t yet retired, that moment is probably somewhere on the horizon. By the age of 60, they have made all sorts of contributions to the world. What’s more, they probably have most, if not all, of what they need. The 60th birthday gift you choose should delight them and make them want to shine bright like a diamond.

What Is The Traditional 60th Birthday Gift?

Like the wedding anniversary gift usually given on after six decades of marriage, the traditional 60th birthday gift is diamond. Not everyone can afford – or wants – real diamonds, so it’s perfectly acceptable to give your loved one something inspired by the valuable stone.

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with breaking with tradition, especially if you know that your partner or parent would appreciate something else entirely. If they’d enjoy a splurge holiday more than a shiny rock, rather spend the money on the trip of a lifetime.

Our suggested birthday gift ideas include options inspired by tradition, as well as other ways to make him or her feel special on their 60th!

What Do You Get A Woman For Her 60th Birthday?

People are staying younger for longer these days as our approach to ageing changes. When it comes to 60th birthday gifts for women, there are many incredible options beyond diamond jewellery – although diamonds are a girl’s best friend!

Spa Package

Spa relaxation beds at Cloud 12 Spa

Why give her a birthday gift that will make her feel like she’s on cloud nine when you can put her on luxurious Cloud 12? Give her a package for a day of treatments and lunch the renowned spa that blends Western and Asian approaches to beauty and wellness in Notting Hill, London.

Decadent Diamond Jewellery

Diamond ring for 60th birthday gifts for her

Nothing says extravagance quite like diamond jewellery. And that’s why some dazzling bling-bing simply has to be included in our list of 60th anniversary gifts for her.

If the woman in question has a flair for fashion, the Paloma Picasso olive leaf band ring in white gold with diamond leaves from Tiffany & Co. could be the perfect gift. If you know she’d prefer softer, sleeker lines, she’s likely to fall in love with the Infinity half pavé band in white gold from De Beers. For something with a bit more bling for her 60th birthday, consider this diamond and emerald ring in 18k yellow gold from the Diamond Store. As you can see there’s something for everyone, no matter her taste.

What’s a 60th birthday without a G&T? If she enjoys an afternoon or evening tipple, a gin and tonic masterclass could be a fabulous 60th birthday gift idea. Treat her to pure indulgence and learn a little more about this legendary drink at the same time.

A Luscious Lunch

Savoy Lunch

If you would like to take her to lunch on her 60th birthday, why not enjoy a meal that’s a real treat? There are a wealth of wonderful restaurants that offer truly decadent dining experiences, and you can select the one that really suits her personality. From dining in sumptuous surroundings to relaxing al fresco and soaking up verdant views, there are so many options.

 

Luxurious Perfume

Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia Perfume for Her

If you know her well enough, you can give her a fragrance that complements her personality and sense of style. For a gloriously feminine scent, consider Gorgeous Gardenia from Gucci’s Flora collection. It’s a feast of red berries, white gardenia, patchouli and brown sugar.

For a scent that’s fresh and crisp, opt for Chanel No. 19 Poudre. If a hint of citrus in the form of orange blossom is what’s needed, L’interdit Givenchy could be what’s called for. If you want to move away from florals and citrus, the perfume you could include in the gift box for her 60th birthday is Tom Ford’s Santal Blush. This divine eau de parfum is all about exotic sandalwood and spices.

Decadent Hamper

The Marylebone Hamper - 60th Birthday Gifts for Her

A luxurious hamper could be the perfect gift for a woman who wants to treat herself and a few friends to various edible and drinkable delights in the comfort of her own home.

The Best Scented Candles

Baobab Collection Black Pearls Candle

If you’re looking for 60th birthday gift ideas for something small you can add to her gift box, consider a scented candle. Choose from Diptyque’s incredible selection, or pick something out from Harrods’ Baobab range. We can recommend Black Pearls, which will fill her home with the scent of rose and ginger.

Smart Tech Gift

A Wow-Factor Holiday

A Lobster and Steak Feast
