60th birthday gifts for him
At sixty, practical comfort wins: memory foam slippers, a garden kneeler, a bird feeder camera, a photo frame the grandchildren can send pictures to. Add a whisky set if that is his thing.

3. RockDove Men's Two-Tone Memory Foam Slipper
Machine washable · Rubber, anti-slip · Breathable waffle knit · Memory foam

4. Crystals 2-in-1 Garden Kneeler Seat
Foldable, lightweight · Kneeler and seat in one · EVA foam · Detachable 3-pouch tool bag
Kneel one way, flip it to sit the other, with handles to push up from: easier knees for long weeding sessions. The listing confirms EVA foam padding, a folding frame and a tool bag. It is a light frame, built for gardening rather than as an outdoor chair.

Best for whisky drinkers
5. Whisiskey Whisky Glass Set
Reusable, freeze between uses · Glasses and whisky stones
If whisky is his thing, a boxed set of glasses and stones is a safe win. The listing confirms reusable stones that chill without watering the drink down. Details on glass size are thin, so check the photos first.

Best for golfers
6. Longridge Putt N Hazard Putting Mat
Ball return slope · Bunker and water · Synthetic turf
A cheaper indoor putting mat from an established golf brand, with bunker and water hazards to make practice more of a game. The listing confirms synthetic turf and a ball return slope. It is shorter and simpler than the longer mats, fine for a living room but not for long putts.

A small, cheap gadget for the man who does the Sunday roast or the barbecue. The listing confirms a reading in one to three seconds, a lock function and a magnetic back. It is an instant-read probe, not one to leave in the oven.

Best keepsake

How we rank
Chosen from what is selling on Amazon UK in each category on the day we checked, inside the price cap, and only if it was in stock. Ordered by how useful the gift is to the person it is for, then price. We have not handled these products: the write-ups rest on what each listing states. Prices and stock are checked daily.
Prices are Amazon UK and eBay UK at the time we last checked; they move daily, so confirm on the retailer's page. We earn a small commission if you buy through our links, at no cost to you. It never changes the order. More about how we work.
