DH 60th Birthday help

Help please! DH’s 60th birthday next weekend. We have a nice weekend planned - day out together, hotel stay and family meal out. I’m completely stuck for gifts though. He doesn’t want sentimental gifts or clothes. Not interested in experience type gifts - hot air balloon ride etc. He insists the weekend will be enough but I want him to have something to open. Any suggestions gratefully received!

A hamper containing his favourite tipple and all his favourite treats?

A Seventies Childhood illustrated book
Photobook of his life or your time together.

I got dh two bottles of snazzy port. He’s been working his way through them.

A quality watch. I got my DH a Tag Huer watch for his 60th.

I have much the same problem with my DH. He does like his T-shirt which says '1954 limited edition' just on the top left of the chest, rather than all over it. (He is considerably older than your DH😁)

Food, booze, tech

Coins? Maybe if you can get them a set of coins that were in circulation when he was born.

Dennis the menace is 75 this year.

I'd take him at his word.

Although if he games, a "Level 60 unlocked" t-shirt might entertain.

DH has been wearing the "Resistance is useless" t-shirt with an old fashioned rheostat that I got him for his 59th, very frequently
It appears to amuse him.

Tickets for something. Football, rugby, festival, theatre show.
Holiday somewhere special
For 50ths, mine was F1 at Silverstone his was a trip to Iceland.
For my 60th I want a ring or diamond earrings. DH loves watches so I may suggest that.
