Male 60th Birthday Gift Ideas

Many people become frantic when trying to find the perfect gift for a 60-year-old male. That does not have to be the case for you. The best ideas are those that complement his personality, hobbies and interests. Recreate the day he was born with newspapers, coins, photos and other keepsake gifts. Give him a gift he can cherish for the rest of his life.

Personlized Picture Frames

Personalized picture frames are a good birthday item you can purchase for your 60-year-old husband, father, grandfather, other male family member or friend. The picture frame can detail a range of inscriptions that include the traditional "happy birthday" message, with a combination of the year he was born, the date he turns 60, a poem, his full name (or a nickname) and other memorable inscriptions. If you want to make the photo more heartfelt, give him an autographed photo. This does not mean you have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars trying to get the autographs of every celebrity he has ever liked. You can autograph the frame yourself, along with other family and friends that are all a part of his life. Every time he looks at this gift, he can remember an event or moment that has occurred in his 60 years of life with each person who has autographed the frame.

Make your gift-searching easy by narrowing down his favorite pastimes or hobbies. If the birthday boy enjoys collecting coins, give him a coin collection. Make this birthday gift more unique by personalizing the coins, gift box or gift box seal. This gift has circulated coins dated back to the year he was born, including half dollars, nickels, pennies, dimes and quarters. The unique part of the gift is the fun history fact that is listed on each coin. Those fun facts and world events include that year's Rose Bowl or Academy Award winners. Personalize the inside of the box with "a year to remember," "happy birthday," and other personal messages.

Celebrating 60 years of his life may not be newspaper-worthy to the world, but to you it just might be. Recreating the day he was born with a fake newspaper article is a unique birthday idea. The customized newspaper details the moments and events that occurred the day or year that he was born, such as the president, the weather report for the day or other historical moments. What makes this gift unique is the fact that a real newspaper printed the year he was born would not herald his birthday, but you have the opportunity to add the name of the birthday boy throughout the entire document. An example would be to have a special announcement from the White House, where the president of that year announces the birth of the 60-year-old. Talk about recreating history. The framed newspaper comes with wall-hanging or table-top versions.
