You can always give a bottle of their favourite tipple though, but you can make such 60th birthday gifts really special with a personalised label just for them. A bottle of luxury champagne in a delightful presentation box will start the celebrations off nicely. Then they can choose to share it with their close friends or keep it for themselves.
