60 years of marriage is a huge milestone! It’s time for you and your partner to celebrate with one of these meaningful 60th wedding anniversary gifts. From personalized jewelry to personalized plaques, there are tonnes of 60th-anniversary ideas to choose from.

If your 60th anniversary is coming and you’re not sure what to gift your significant other, here’s a list of ideas that will get you ready for the big day. 60 years of marriage is a big deal, so it’s important to celebrate and love each other.

1. Roses– Roses are a classic symbol of love, romance, and affection, but where the type of rose and the color all influence what symbolism is associated with those flowers. Red, of course, symbolizes romance, whilst cream symbolizes appreciation and blush symbolizes desire.
2. Diamond– A well-cut diamond is the closest you can get to perfection. With the wide range of colors and cuts and the variation in clarity and carat, you can get the perfect diamond for your anniversary, no matter what your budget is.
3. Sapphire– Sapphire is the traditional gemstone for 60 years of marriage, making it the perfect stone to celebrate this milestone. Sapphire is also the birthstone for September, so if your partner is a Virgo, it makes even more sense!
4. Pearl– The pearl is often used as a token of engagement and marriage. It is also symbolic of purity, innocence, and faithfulness. The pearl is the birthstone for June, making it the ideal choice for a Gemini partner.
5. Candles– The symbolism of a candle is obvious, with a flame being a metaphor for burning passion and eternal love. Candlelight and the warmth it radiates is classically romantic, and whilst a candle won’t burn forever, the light will continue to shine as your love for each other grows.
6. A Photo Album– When it’s time to pick a gift, try a sentimental gift commemorating your 60 years of marriage. Photo albums are the perfect way to show your loved ones how much you’ve been through together. It’s easy to forget the good times sometimes, but being presented with 60 years’ worth of memories is sure to tug at the heartstrings.
7. Jewellery– After 60 years, a simple card isn’t going to cut the mustard. Gold and silver, or other precious metals within your budget, make the best gift for your anniversary. Bracelets, rings, and necklaces symbolize unending love, which is as romantic as it gets when you’ve been together for six decades.
8. A weekend away– If you’ve been together for 60 years, you’ve hopefully been to a lot of places together, but there are still places to explore! Even the tightest budget can stretch for a romantic weekend away. If neither of you drives anymore, get the train or the bus and stay in a comfortable B&B. It doesn’t need to be luxury – as long as you have each other it’ll be a weekend to remember.
9. An exciting trip– If you’re able to go further afield, consider a trip abroad! There are plenty of all-inclusive holiday packages available, or you could even go on a cruise. A cruise works well if you want to sit back, relax and enjoy the journey. All you need to do is sit in the sun, visit the restaurants, and occasionally explore the cities you stop off at.

Wedding anniversary gifts are hard to get right, but as long as you know what your partner likes, you can’t go wrong. No matter what your budget is, there should be something on this list that suits you. If you’re really struggling, consider making something yourself. As long as your gift comes from the heart, it’s sure to be loved.
