60th Birthday Gifts for Her
When you don’t know what to get for her 60th birthday present, wine is almost always a good choice.
Choose a bottle of her favorite kind of wine, personalize your gift with her name, then print out one of these cute labels to attach to the bottle.
I like the one that says “Cheers to 60 Years”.
It already has my name on it! You can always give it along with a cute Happy Birthday wine glass!
Everyone loves a home that smells good!
This home diffuser is to die for! It’s a blend of lavender, cyclamen leaves, and cucumber, with just a hint of patchouli. And she’ll love it!
You would probably love it, too! Why not get one for her and pick up one for yourself, too? You won’t regret it!
The 60th birthday celebration wouldn't be complete without the shirt.
Pick an appropriate style for your 60-year-old gal and help her flaunt that good fortune of reaching this milestone!
We gave my Dad one of these for his birthday and he loved it!
You can add your own descriptive words, so each of us suggested a few words that made us think of Dad, like “strong”, “courageous”, and “smart”.
Think about the woman you are celebrating, and add your own words.
This is a 60th birthday gift for her that she will love!
Does she like crafting?
This is a great subscription box for crafters.
It includes everything you need, including tools.
Send one month, or make her birthday last all year, it's up to you.
Just know she'll enjoy getting a box in the mail, that you were so thoughtful, and she'll have a hand-made item to show for it!
How cool is that?
Here's another choice of personalized 60th birthday art for a woman.
Great to use for a guest book!
Here is a beautiful necklace with six rings to remind her of this special birthday.
Sixty years to remember!
This awesome necklace comes nicely packaged in a gift box with a Happy Birthday message.
Six pieces of chocolate for a 60th birthday gift for her.
This is a Happy Birthday Truffle Flight box.
It is meant for the recipient to eat in order of intensifying flavors – the Birthday Cake truffle first and finish with the Lemon Chiffon Cake truffle.
What woman wouldn’t love this!
This beautiful healing bracelet will be on her wrist from the moment it’s given.
Wear your Intentional Jewelry as a gentle reminder to always build yourself up.
I actually have this bracelet myself and LOVE it!
Vanilla has always been my favorite candle smell.
This one is vanilla, but there are other “flavors” as well.
Candles make sweet-smelling gifts every woman will love.
And who doesn’t like their surroundings to have a pleasant scent?
This 60th birthday gift idea is for women who love being pampered!
What better way to celebrate her 60th birthday than with a soothing bath.
This Peppermint Mocha Bath Bomb smells great and will leave her relaxed and her skin feeling super soft!
This is a fun gift idea for a woman’s 60th birthday present.
We did this for my Mom on her 80th birthday.
We had the best time setting up a photo booth and taking Polaroid pictures with her.
(Yes, they still make polaroid cameras and film!) The picture on the right is her “twin”, my Dad and Mom.
Her “twin” still stands in her house and makes us look twice every time we pass her!
This birthday gift gave a lot of laughs, memories, and fun. It’s a gift that keeps on giving even after the party is over!
I love Dr. Seuss. It seems like he has the perfect book for every occasion!
This “You’re Only Old Once” book (a book for obsolete children) is a light-hearted, fun look at getting a little older.
If the woman who is receiving this gift has a sense of humor, this would be an awesome 60th birthday gift for her.
It’s good to laugh and not take yourself too seriously!
Sixty is a big milestone. Celebrating with those who love you is the best gift you can receive.

I love your idea to give a necklace that has a ring for every decade! My mother is turning sixty next week, and I love the idea of getting a piece of jewelry that commemorates each decade she's been alive. Hopefully I can find a great jewelry store in our area who has a great piece that can communicate this great message! Thanks for the suggestions!
