Tips for Buying Present for a 60-Year-Old Man

Turning 60 is a major milestone in a person’s life. In fact, some countries revere it. If you want to mark the occasion with an awesome gift, here are just a few suggestions for impressing your dad, grandpa, uncle or over-the-hill coworker.

Avoid Sensitive Subjects

Gifts are only funny if the recipient laughs at them. If you poke fun at something that he’s embarrassed about, he’s going to thank you for the item, stuff it in a drawer and never take it out again. This applies to general “haha, you’re old” gifts as well as gifts that rib on things like gray hair and wrinkles.

Be Practical

What’s he going to do with a coffee mug if he already has a dozen? Don’t buy him something useless or meaningless just because it has a joke about turning 60 on it. If need be, search for a different gift with the same joke printed on it; funny little sayings are often printed on a variety of shirts, mugs and key chains. Get him a practical gift that he can actually use.

Don’t Be Obsessed With His 60th Birthday

You don’t have to buy a gift that revolves around his 60th birthday. There are plenty of fun and nostalgic goodies that don’t have specific dates printed on them. They might even be preferable to a present that will “expire” once he hits 61! A timeless gift is one that he’ll be able to appreciate for years to come.
