Joke Gifts for a 60th Birthday – Great Gift Ideas
Turning 60 is an important milestone. It is an age for pure independence, enjoying grandchildren, and spending quality time on hobbies, travel, and family. At 60 people can really laugh at their age because they are wise and in the prime of life.
60th birthday party gag gifts can include some “Over the Hill” type items like black balloons, black roses in a coffin box, black candles, and any other black accessories that suit the party vibe.
A bag of items that the man or woman turning 60 would enjoy includes:
-A cup over the hill (or black)
-Extra large phone (with huge buttons) or super large playing cards
-Laxative dynamite (gag gift found in specialty stores or create your own by preparing a label)
-“Anti-aging” soap: again, found in specialty stores or create your own using home-made labels.
There are a variety of caps and hats on the market to buy as 60th birthday gag gifts. Sixty is an age when people can laugh at themselves, they can participate in jokes about their age because they are confident in their life experience. You can buy some hats and caps that have phrases like: “Old Dude”, “I don’t want to grow up!” and “Recycled Teenager”.
Most party themes have always been centered around the “over the hill” idea, but there are many others to use that will prove successful. Consider hosting a backyard luau (weather permitting), if it’s low season for a luau, rent a banquet hall or host the luau in your own living room (depending on the number of guests of course). . Regardless of whether or not the birthday person has gone on vacation to Hawaii, this theme is sure to be a hit with everyone involved. Why not host a luau in the dead of winter? People will be talking about it for years to come.
Another party theme is to focus on a particular sport. Does the birthday person love soccer? Football? Baseball? Decorate the party area with appropriately themed decorations (even sneaking into the kids’ party aisle if you need to shop for supplies!), the sports lover will love the idea. 60th birthday gag gifts that revolve around sports are easy too: mini foam fingers like the ones used at the ballpark, a drinking football helmet, a umpire bop bag. With a little imagination and ingenuity, you can bring the birthday party to life with fun and interesting gifts.
The food served on an important birthday like this is also important. Instead of one big birthday cake, why not bake 60 cupcakes and arrange them on a tiered plate? Choose the one above for the individual candle (and this, of course, should go to the birthday person).
Using the 60 theme, it’s easy to find other fun 60th birthday gifts such as: 60 lottery tickets, 5 dozen roses (perhaps each dozen a different color), or even a handful of 6-packs.
Celebrating this birthday can be light, fun and entertaining for everyone involved, especially the birthday boy or girl!
