What is a good birthday present for a 60 year old woman?
My cousin’s husband is throwing her a surprise birthday party and I have no idea what to get. Could I get away with a gift certificate to a bookstore?

Do you have any photos of her as a child or access to them? My mom has several of the cousins, and I’d love it if someone gave me one in a nice frame.

Gift voucher for a pedicure
Gift vocher for a massage
No. If you are going to get a gift certificate, get it to a spa.
@josie Meh. I’m not quite 60 but I’d rather have books. You’re still excited about that pedicure, aren’t you?
Perhaps a gift certificate to a craft or hobby store if you know she enjoys those.
A 60 year old woman is an awfully generic term. Do you know what she likes to do? If not, a bookstore gift certficate is probably a safe bet.
Find out what she and her husband’s favorite restaurant is and get them a certificate worth enough for a meal for 2. Tickets to a play or a concert that you know she would like (ask her husband, friends or kids). Movie tickets for a theater near her house. If you live near the ocean, get her a pair of tickets for a dinner cruise on a harbor excursion boat. And here’s one that my parents got and loved: a potted citrus tree (depends on whether she likes plants, but if she does this one bears edible gifts).
I suggest getting to know her preferences and hobbies, too… but if all else fails, a silk scarf is always a nice gift for women, albeit somewhat generic.
A 30 year old man. I kid, I kid. I think a gift certificate or take her out for a nice meal.
@janbb. I stand corrected! LOL
I’m going to agree with the majority, a gift card to a restaurant, book store, day spa, nail salon…any one sounds great.
But the two 30 year old men…priceless.XD
A great big bottle of wine. =]
At 60 she is not ancient and treat her how she actually feels inside. My mom said she was a 16 yr old trapped in a 60 yr old body and we made sure she got her groove on!! I am making plans for her 80th sky dive….don’t spoil my surprise!!
60! My Lord, you make her sound like a mummy! Give her whatever she loves, be it jewelry, books, something for a hobby, a beautiful vase, an expensive scarf, a trip… you can never go wrong giving her what she loves and enjoys or wishes for.
@perspicacious Well… if they look like Brad Pitt… I don’t think anyone really needs a reason why.
Something that makes her feel young!! A cute purse, something like that… anything you would buy a 30 year old…It will make her feel good!
My aunt is close to that age and I got her a $200 giftcard from Wal-Mart.
