For my 50th, my mother bought me 50 bottles of beer. For my 60th, she bought me 60 spliffs.

Yes, but at what cost..... and do you pick up?
You really need to be more specific.

The experience is the cost and starts in Nn8 postcode
No pick up

I dont really have a budget.
I have now started looking at experience days eg balloon flights (as suggested) and helicopter flights.
Helicopter flights are more local but only last 15 minutes.....balloon flight last 3+ hours but further away.

For one of my birthdays, was given a "sock subscription". A posh pair of socks on the day and then a pair every month for a few months.

Another birthday, I was given a driving experience at Brands Hatch. Hated it, the controls on these super cars are so different, couldn't get used to them on a single day.

Get him a real sweater at Coogi's.

60 is just the right time to tell the world who you are.

A guy at a men's shed came along and made a 50p shaped box with 50 50p inlaid into it for his sons 50th birthday it looked amazing! He was worried his son would peel the £25 off it and spend it! 🤣

If he is in to music and song writing maybe a ticket to a band he likes, Abbey Road Studio tour, I think they are a thing.

Some decent bottles of booze are usually a safe pick. I guess you know what his favourite poison is.

my daughter is one for buying presents but when you have more than enough cycling clothing, aftershave, single malts, silk pocket squares and scarves. There is not much to get you.
So she bought us tickets to go see Echo and the Bunnymen and the icing on the cake was my 11 year old grandson came with us.
I will remember this for a lot longer than the other things.
