A 60th birthday is a major milestone.
A person's 60th birthday is a milestone that deserves to be celebrated with above average offerings. Sentimental present ideas for a 60th birthday allow you to shower your loved one with tokens that truly express your appreciation for six decades of a person's existence on planet Earth. From dirt cheap to especially expensive, there are myriad ways to convey deep sentiment through a well chosen 60th birthday gift.
List
Make a list of 60 things you love most about the birthday girl or boy. Make each item on the list as personal as possible. Print the list on fine paper or write the list out by hand. Decorate the list with art or pictures of your loved one. Roll the list up like a scroll and place it in a fine box for presentation.
Wine
If you have a bit of money to burn, purchase a wine or liqueur that was bottled in the year of your loved one's birth. The longer a fine alcohol lays down in the cellar, the more decadent it will be when the cork is finally popped. Show your loved one how valuable he or she is to you by splurging on a truly lavish 60th birthday gift that is fraught with sentimental value.
Gift Basket
Create a 60th birthday gift basket full of your loved ones favorite treats. Personalize the gift by selecting items that the birthday girl or boy has expressed interest or delight in at some point. Select items that keep well, such as chocolate, wine, nuts and cheese. This allows your recipient to enjoy your birthday offerings slowly, over time, without sacrificing freshness. Also throw in a few vintage candy items that were popular during your recipient's youth.
Poem
Pen a poem that expresses your love and appreciation for the person that is turning 60. If you are not a natural born poet, opt instead for a famous poem that expresses your sentiments. Purchase the entire book of poetry in which your particular selection is located, mark the birthday poem with a bookmark, and read the selection aloud to your loved one when he or she opens the gift.
