Milestone birthdays only come along so often, so they should be treated with as much fanfare and celebration as you can summon. It all starts at 10 when you reach ‘double digits,’ which seems like such a feat. Before you know it, you’ve reached an age that they refer to as ‘the new xx,’ and then you just keep trucking along. 65 is a big birthday because insurance prices are through the roof, and being able to get some sort of relief is a great feeling. Next stop? 70. If you know an amazing person coming up on this milestone, don’t settle for just any gift. Think of something special that makes their day brighter, brings back a lovely memory, or perhaps elicits a laugh.
The 70th birthday marks the beginning of the golden years — the time in life when a person has retired from the hustle and bustle of long days at the office and is focusing on relaxation, recreation, and family. A little gesture goes a long way. Here are our favorite 70th birthday gift ideas:
