80th Birthday Ideas
Here is a pick of my most favorite 80th birthday ideas that you can look into. I've made sure that they're a good mix of different types of 80th birthday gifts for men as well as some great party ideas.
A Family Get Together
...and his friends, of course. He'd love the fact that all the people who are important to him, and with whom he shares so many memories, have all gathered to wish him. It'll show him how much everyone cares. At the stage of life that he is in, thoughts of not being around for long must be making way frequently. These can be easily quelled by his family and friends and take him out of those depressing thoughts. Now isn't that a great birthday party idea?
The Gift of Time
I've seen this happen quite often - when you're turning 80 and pretty much everything in life has been taken care of, somehow the materialistic things become inconsequential and one starts turning inwards, valuing friends and family more. What could be a greater gift than time as an 80th birthday gift? If you haven't been visiting the birthday boy as often, make sure that you do. Plan a trip with your family and visit him often. If it's your father or uncle, I'm sure he'd love to spend time with his grand kids. Take them over and let him enjoy the feeling of being a granddad. Also, it does not have to be a gift that is limited to merely his birthday.
A Memory Book
What could be more heartwarming and overwhelming than having a scrapbook, or an album of all your memories? Think photos, letters and things like that. Gather about some of his best memories and put them in the form of a book or even just a photo album. Something on the same lines would be a documentary film that has bites of his family members, colleagues and friends... something that he'll cherish forever.
Skits and Plays
This idea is usually used as part of weddings in certain Indian communities (and this I know for a fact) but you can use the idea for this one. And why not? So what you do is take an important incident of his life and reenact it for him. The most fun part of this usually is, and for good reasons, is to enact the 'How we fell in love' story of him and his wife. It evokes a whole lot of giggles and is usually a lot of fun to watch as well. And trust me, the couple will enjoy it.
80...
80 is the keyword here, and what is better than something to do with the figure 80? What am I saying? Play with the figure 80. 80 gifts, a card that has 80 reasons why you love him...etc, etc. Think of some of the most innovative things that you can do with the figure 80.
And there you have it, some of the most creative 80th birthday ideas for men that you can use and turn that event into something really special. Ready to get to it then? Have fun! And I'm sure he'll love it.
