Description

This box contains 60 surprises, sure to delight whoever is lucky enough to receive it as a 60th Birthday gift. The gender-neutral box contains 60 sealed cards, and each one holds a suggestion of something to do. They include 54 pre-printed cards in coloured envelopes, and six blank cards for you to fill in with ideas you know will mean the world to them.

The recipient pulls one of the sixty sealed colourful envelopes from the box whenever they want to choose an activity. Inside they will find a prompt designed to inspire a new memory, whether they choose to complete it solo or with family.

Each card will inspire the recipient to try something new, go to a place they’ve never visited before and make memories with loved ones. The ideas are a mix of things they can do at home, and activities that involve a night out or a day trip. They can do them with friends or family, or by themselves. The choice is theirs, we want the cards to be interpreted to suit the individual.

The envelope colours are chosen at random, so there is no pattern to the type of activity inside, it is a lucky dip. To make it a totally unique gift for a soon to be 60-year-old who has ‘everything’ you can personalise the box lid with a name or short message.

Record the memories

To keep the memories that are made safe we’ve created a journal which is perfect to hold the card and any photos, tickets or receipts to be looked back over or shared with others. The journal is an optional adding that has 60 double pages to save all the cards with space to write any notes, the ring-bound book is printed in silver on the front.

How to make this 60th birthday present personal

We have two options: our bespoke black gift box with a choice of 6 colours for the print, or a personalised version where you can choose your text colour and add the recipient’s name. Just click on the drop-down menu to make your choice and fill in your message.

Environment

We aim to produce gifts that are 100% recyclable, and we encourage all those enjoying opening envelopes to recycle them after they’ve completed their activities.

Our boxes are 100% recyclable, and are constructed from ‘greyboard’ which is made from a mix of recycled and waste paper. The outer wrap paper is also recyclable.

Where possible, the paper we use for our card and envelopes is sourced from FSC-certified suppliers.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Sixty Things To Do When You Are 60 include the Making Memories journal?

The Making Memories journal is an optional add-on, not included as standard. You can add it on this page before you order, or buy it separately later. It stores the opened cards along with photos, tickets and notes, so the year's memories stay in one place rather than getting lost.

Is the Sixty Things To Do When You Are 60 box suitable for someone who isn't very adventurous?

Yes, it suits most people turning 60, whatever they're into. The 60 activity ideas mix things to do at home with days out and nights out, so they can be taken gently or made into a bigger occasion. Each card is meant to be interpreted to suit the person, and they can be done alone, with a partner, or with friends and family

Will it arrive in time for the birthday?

Order before 12pm on a working day for same-day dispatch, and choose express next-day at checkout.

We'll ship our Express orders with Royal Mail Special Delivery to ensure it arrives on time.

Our free shipping option is Tracked 48, which takes 2-3 days.

Can I send Sixty Things To Do When You Are 60 straight to the recipient with a gift message?

Yes, you can send it straight to the recipient. Enter their address in the shipping details at checkout and add a gift message, which we print and include with the order. Every order goes out in plain packaging, so the contents aren't shown in transit or on the doorstep, and the surprise stays intact.
