Gifts for 60 year old women

[StormySam]

Looking for a gift for a relative max £20.
Doesn't drink or eat sweet stuff, Doesn't wear makeup, no hobbies, doesn't read, sensible and a bit boring - worst thing is I have 2 of these gifts to buy as she's one of twins but hoping to buy them different things so any tips gratefully received.

I wondered that too. 😂

If they like doing things with their hands: a jigsaw, tapestry kit, colouring set, painting kit, or diamond art.

I'm 61.

I love rock festivals, holidays in America, running half marathons, gaming.

You don't need to ask about gifts for 60yr olds, you need to ask about gifts for people with no interests or hobbies!!

Why are you friends with her and buying her gifts if you think she's boring with no interests? Do you even like her?

Clarins hand and nail cream it's bloody lovely and a bit expensive to buy for myself. About £18 last time I bought it

M&S voucher for £20.

I'd go traditional, with a treat version of something that they usually eat

Cheese and biscuits from here:
https://www.finecheese.co.uk/bath-shop
or from a local deli or farm shop

Tea and/or coffee from Fortnum's

If they like tea, maybe a nice tea pot or tea cup with a strainer in it to make fancy loose leaf tea.

Or a tea cosy (this shop in Edinburgh does the very best granny knit tea cosies I've ever seen https://www.treasuretrove-edinburgh.com/our-shop/)

I know a few people like this. I’d go very generic flowers or house plant. Once a nice tea cup when down well. Or just put money in a card.

Cinema vouchers
Afternoon tea
Oodie
Nice candle
Clarins hand cream or shower gel

Agreed, I'm a bit younger but why is it always smellier, bed socks and candles. I would hate that.

An M&S or John Lewis voucher would be best. As PP suggested they can buy food or put towards home stuff or clothes or flowers

Whoops, supposed to say *smellies

A cinema ticket to see ‘ Immaculate’

I'll be 60 this year. No offence, but I'd be quietly very disappointed if I received any of the things on this list. Bed socks

I'd be delighted with a voucher or book token, or being taken out to afternoon tea or something.

I would say to them, 'Look, Fanny and Gertie! I have no idea what to get you so rather than waste money on something you won't like or use is there anything you would like or do you have a charity that I can donate to in your name?'

I'm trying to imagine anyone who would like bed socks! There must be something they like!

In that general age group, only thing I'd like from suggestions is M&S voucher. But can't you ask someone who knows them better?
Or ask each of them what the other one would like!

I'm 60 next year. Just starting to really relive my life after divorce and family. I am hoping to move soon, so possessions, however kindly thought through, but truthfully most of the suggestions upthread are ghastly, would not be (internally) welcome. What I have enjoyed most , particularly post COVID is seeing people. Could you meet with the twins for a day out? £20 is not a huge budget - sorry if that offends- but it does fall rather into token gift. I would rather have a great evening or day of good company.

Posh hot water bottle and socks

some mugs

😳i'm quite partial to them. They're not for everyone though 😂

Students and young people living in chilly rented houses, IME!

Hm, I'm 63 and agree with vouchers for somewhere like M&S or JL (if they have one near), or a nice houseplant.

Clitoral stimulator in different colours, one each.

I turn 60 in a couple of months and am crying with laughter at some of these terrible suggestions (no offense, they sound v hard to buy for!) The air rifle and clitoral stimulator definitely sound more promising.

I just had my 60th party. I had some brilliant presents.

Most appreciated gifts:

• Buddha head for the garden
• bracelet, necklace, earrings
• massage/beauty voucher
• beautiful jug
• wine glasses
• Wine Society membership
• bag
• Phlur fragrance
• Persiana cook book
• gin

-champagne

• theatre tickets

Sort of depends how well people know you. I had one scented candle and some room fragrance - but that's quite a boring present.

‘Look, Fanny and Gertie!

They’re 60, not 106! 😂

Why are you friends with her and buying her gifts if you think she's boring with no interests? Do you even like her?

She’s and her twin are op’s relatives, not friends.

Flowers, delivered. Can be bought online for under £20 as I just looked for you.

or M&S voucher as they can be used in store or online, and of course if too many bed socks are chosen then she can add her own payment to it :)
