60th Birthday gift ideas for dad

Now as I said, here I will suggest you some ideas that are perfect for your dad who is going to be sixty. So stay tuned and read all of these perfect ideas.

1. Health

We all are aware that at age of sixty, a human body is not that immune to fight against health issues. Sixty is not too old but still, we are living in an era where we are more prone to get health issues. We should take care of our health and for those we love.

So I think you should gift something related to health and fitness. There are many things you can consider, I will give you few options later in my recommended list. So stay tuned.

2. Leisure time

As I said that at age of sixty a person is retired or most probably going to be. After retirement, there is a lot more time to spend and at times it could be little boring to sit and do nothing if you have worked all of your life.

So keeping his leisure time in mind you should think about some best gift for dad. Here are few things to be considered when you think about his leisure time.

• Gift him something that could help him engage in some work.
• You can gift something to make his leisure time more enjoyable.

Based on these two expect I am giving you some more options down below which serves the above purpose.

3. Hobbies or interest

As I said above that you must gift something that can make his leisure time enjoyable. So for this, the best thing you can do is gift him something related to his hobbies or interest.

I have seen that some parents have so many responsibilities all of their life that they hardly get time for their hobbies or their interest.

If you think your dad is one of them, then this is the time to encourage him for his hobbies and the best way you can do this by gifting him something related that could help him.

I will give you my dad’s example, he loves cooking a lot but he hardly gets time for it as he is so busy with office work and other family responsibilities.

So my plan is to gift him something related to cooking after his retirement and most probably on his 60th birthday. The same way you can also think about something similar gift for your papa.

4. Books

I have often found that people when they get old loves to spend their time reading books. I have read this in many articles so I think and believe too that he will also love to spend his time reading some good books.

You can gift him some book of his interest or may be some spiritual or holy book. This will also keep him engaging.

5. Gardening

Gardening is the best way that gives you peace, happiness from the divine nature and also let you engaged. I love gardening from my childhood, even my dad also love to spend his time taking care of our plants.

So if you think your dad will also love to go for it then why not to gift him something related to gardening and if he does not, then still I would recommend to give it a try. I am sure he will love it later.

6. Gift for his journey

Gift him a diary where he can write about his journey of his life. At the age of sixty, he must have seen and experienced a lot of things in his life.

Why don’t you ask him to write down his journey of life till now on your gifted diary? I think it’s an amazing idea for two reasons, first it shows how important he is in your life second it will give him a proud dad feeling.

7. Proud dad Personalized

Completing sixty years is really a proud moment for him as he served all of his life for his family and you. You are proud to get a dad like him. So I think to make this occasion more special you need to gift him some personalized proud dad tagged things.

There are many options available for you, i.e Trophy, T-shirt, coffee mugs, etc.. You can get these things personalized by imprinting or engraving with some tag line. This could be great gift for dad.

I assume that you have picked some 60th birthday gift ideas for your dad from the list. This is really a special occasion that needs to be the best, so go ahead and pick some gift ideas from the list and make his day memorable.
