Turning 60 is a milestone that deserves a celebration filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable experiences. Whether you're planning for yourself, a friend, or a loved one, here are some creative and unusual 60thbirthday gifts for her and him to make this birthday truly special.

1. Themed Costume Party

Throw a themed costume party that takes everyone back to the 1960s. Encourage guests to come dressed in their grooviest attire, complete with bell-bottoms, tie-dye shirts, and peace signs. Add some 60s music, classic snacks, and décor to transport everyone back to the era. A costume contest with fun prizes can add an extra layer of excitement.

2. Comedy Roast

Organise a comedy roast where friends and family can share funny stories and good-natured jokes about the birthday celebrant. Hire a professional comedian to keep the event lively and humorous. Just make sure to set some ground rules to keep the jokes light-hearted and in good taste.

3. Outdoor Movie Night

Set up an outdoor cinema in the garden. Pick a selection of classic films from the birthday person’s younger years. Provide popcorn, blankets, and perhaps some vintage candy to create a nostalgic atmosphere. This can be a relaxing yet enjoyable way to celebrate under the stars.

4.Memory Lane Scavenger Hunt

Create a scavenger hunt that takes the birthday person on a trip down memory lane. Include locations and items that are significant to their life, such as their first home, favourite park, or old photos. Each stop can have a clue or a small gift, making the journey both sentimental and adventurous.

5. Unique Experience Days

For some 60th birthday ideas, experience days can provide unforgettable memories:

Hot Air Balloon Ride: Soar above the countryside and enjoy breath taking views with a hot air balloon ride. It's a peaceful and exhilarating way to mark the milestone.

Cooking Class with a Celebrity Chef: Book a private cooking class with a renowned chef. It's a fantastic way to learn new culinary skills and enjoy a delicious meal.

Photography Safari: Organise a photography safari in a beautiful natural setting. Led by a professional photographer, this experience offers tips and techniques for capturing stunning wildlife and landscape photos. It’s perfect for those who enjoy photography and nature.

Glassblowing Workshop: Enrol in a glassblowing workshop where the birthday person can learn the art of creating beautiful glass pieces. This hands-on experience allows them to design and craft their own unique glass artwork, providing both a skill and a keepsake.

Falconry Experience-Engage in an ancient art with a falconry experience. Participants can learn about these magnificent birds of prey, handle them, and witness amazing flight demonstrations. It’s a unique way to connect with nature and history.

6. Mystery Dinner Theatre

Host a mystery dinner theatre event at home or a rented venue. Invite guests to come dressed as characters from the mystery story and enjoy a night of intrigue, suspense, and fun. Professional actors can be hired to facilitate the event, ensuring a smooth and entertaining evening.

7. Personalised Video Tribute

Compile a video of birthday messages from friends, family, and colleagues. Include funny anecdotes, heartfelt messages, and old photos. This tribute can be played during the celebration, providing a touching and memorable experience.

8. Garden Tea Party

If the birthday person loves a bit of elegance, consider hosting a garden tea party. Set up tables with fine china, floral arrangements, and delicious finger foods. Adding a touch of whimsy, like vintage hats and gloves for guests, can make the event feel special and fun.

Celebrating a 60th birthday with unusual and funny ideas ensures that the day is filled with joy and laughter. Whether it's through a themed party, a memorable experience day, or a creative event, these ideas will help create lasting memories for this significant milestone.
