60th birthday present ideas

My husband will be 60 later this year. He is the typical hard to buy for person. He has everything for his hobby, larger purchases he’d have to choose. He already has a good watch, but prefers to wear a cheaper one, doesn’t wear any other jewellery. Not into tech gadgets but does have ipad, good headphones etc

I’d like to surprise him with something nice, I’ve already got a good bottle of port from his birth year, but was thinking of ‘quality’ clothing that he wouldn’t normally buy. I’ve had a look at Paul Smith and Hugo Boss but haven’t seen anything that really grabs me. Plus we’re in Europe so U.K. stores aren’t really an option post brexit

Any ideas?

For my husband’s 40th I bought a voucher from a tailor for a handmade suit- he loved it!

For DH's 50th I got him a present for every month of the year - all 'doing' things, which he enjoys. Took him to the theatre with his parents one month, went hot air ballooning with DD another month, saw a newly released film at the cinema one month. Final month was a very special family holiday. Worked well, and spread the cost!

I’m disabled and unable to travel so trips and holidays are not possible. He goes on an annual hobby related trip, not this year or last but hopefully next year

He never wears a suit now, it’s all much more casual here

I was going to buy my DH a Rolf Harris original painting for a special birthday 10 years ago. When I realised they were £50K I changed my mind.

So glad I did in the light of what happened to him. I bet the paintings are worth about a tenner now!
