There are four kinds of gift sets for the milestone year of 60: Spa baskets for women, gourmet food birthday baskets, nostalgia gift baskets with a 60th birthday theme, and gag over-the-hill gift baskets.
The popular Grand Ghirardelli Chocolate Gift Basket (paid link) will impress a chocolate loving woman of a certain age. Featuring chocolate made famous all over the world after its humble San Francisco start, this attractive basket comes stuffed with truffles, mints, a chocolate bar, cocoa mix, and more. Perfect for connoisseurs.
And then - you knew it was coming - there's the traditional over-the-hill gift baskets, (paid link) fabulous for parties. If she's got a good sense of humor and can laugh at herself, she'll adore the Over the Hill Kit "Don't Cry" Birthday Gift Set, (paid link) a gently humorous set including fortune cookies, a party hat, a gag coupon book, a coffee mug, plus treats like pretzels, caramel corn and cookies.
For a pure gag gift, try the Over the Hill Coffin (paid link) - and make sure she opens it at her birthday party, so she'll get "buried" in laughter. More silly than macabre, but truly original is the Over-the-Hill Tombstone Gift Tote (paid link) made of paperboard. The saying goes that 60 is the new 40, so she'll be able to appreciate the tongue-in-cheek humor - not to mention the wide selection of gourmet candies and goodies.
For a woman who has a great sense of humor, plus something of a sweet tooth, on her 60th birthday, retro candy gift boxes (paid link) make the perfect present. She'll appreciate the nostalgia factor of this gift box filled with sweets from around the year of her birth...you know, way back when. These are some of the more affordable gift sets, as well.
