We have to admit that finding gifts for men and women over 60 isn’t easy. However, I also have to admit that Ask Granny’s list of present ideas listed below have been tried and tested with members of my family and have all been a great success. It seems we place less value on material things and enjoy more lasting and useful gifts. I hope that Ask Granny’s choices help you to choose a gift that your older friend, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, father ,brother, uncle, grandfather and great grandmother will love!
Here are some of the best gift ideas for the Over 60s.
Silver Engraved Gifts
Any engraved gift proves a little time and thought has been put into your birthday or anniversary choice and I found that both men and women like to have their names, initials or kind thoughts engraved on something special!

Bulbs as Gifts
So many of us love flowers or plants in our homes, terraces or gardens and a wonderful gift idea is to send seasonal bulbs to a garden and flower lover. Below are some websites that send out bulbs to members every month or each season.
Magazine Subscriptions
Ask Granny has just been sent the magazine Vanity Fair. What fun to receive a magazine every month and a gift surely all over 60s would enjoy? Magazines are expensive too, so a yearly subscription would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps a sport magazine for men and a fashion one for ladies?

Wrist Watches for The Elderly
Ask Granny gave her sister a super, easy to read, wristwatch for her last birthday and what a relief not to HAVE to put on ‘specs’ to tell the time! Many of the websites below offer good wrist watches, with big hands, easy to read and illuminated at night time!
