Diamonds are forever

Jewellery stands as the most popular of 60th wedding anniversary gifts. Diamond eternity rings, bracelets, pendants and charms are all great ideas. Many couples choose to have their original wedding rings reset for their anniversary, or replace them with newer rings.

Step back in time

If you are looking for less expensive 60th wedding anniversary gifts, then there are plenty of ideas around. You can find inspiration by looking back to the era of your wedding. Maybe you might like to spend some time together thinking about what things were like then, and how times have changed. You might even like to visit an old neighbourhood, or a place you once spent a date together. Maybe there is a park, a cafe or a special place you once went together that you have not visited for many years.

A similar idea is to spend an evening watching old movies with your partner. Maybe there is a film you saw together before you were married, or an old favourite that you both enjoy. It's also a good opportunity to listen to some nostalgic music, perhaps some classic songs from The Rat Pack or listen to some of Nat King Cole's greatest love songs, or give your partner a classic novel written around that time.

Themed 60th wedding anniversary gifts

There are plenty of gifts you could get for you partner that will remind them of when you were first married. For instance, you could buy a newspaper from the day you were married, you can buy them framed, or presented in a beautiful gift box. Alternatively buy a book of important news from the year you were married. These great ideas don't cost a lot but carry a great deal of sentimental value.

Have a great night out

If you both love The Rat Pack, make your 60th wedding anniversary gift to each other a great night out on the town with a 1950s theme. Go and see a big band, or a 1950's tribute band and enjoy all the old classics you both love

Another great way to spend time together is to have an afternoon tea at a nice hotel enjoying each other's company. It's important to treat yourself once in a while, and your anniversary is the perfect opportunity.

Spend a weekend away

A weekend away makes for a perfect 60th wedding anniversary gift. Perhaps there is somewhere you have always wanted to go, but have never gotten around to. Now is the perfect opportunity. Spending a weekend away is not only a treat, but a great chance to spend time together. 60 years of marriage is a huge achievement, and not one that should go unnoticed.

You can stick to your anniversary theme by choosing an operator like Diamond Holidays, who specialise in short breaks in the UK. Many of their trips have interesting themes, such as history or horse racing. There is a good range and you will be sure to find something that suits.
