These are some things that would be nice and unique 60th birthday gifts for women…I’ll be turning 60 soon (not SUPER soon, but soon enough) and I approve of all of these as ideas for things that a 60-yr-old woman would like.
Whether it’s for your mom who’s traditional, or for a friend who loves to show off her bohemian style, 60-year-old women are a diverse group. We like spending time with family, but we also like “me time.” We like luxury and being unique, but we also like to relax and be casual.
I hope that this list will give you some ideas, and that the creative artisan shops and ideas I have here will help you find the perfect 60th birthday gift for her.
