Anti-Aging Pills
We all know that the clock can't be turned back, but it's fun to pretend. And let's be honest, if there was a pill we could take then most of us would take it!
To make your anti-aging pills, put some jelly beans or other sweets in a pill-jar and add these instructions.
Instructions: "Under normal circumstances, take one tablet per day. In emergencies like yours, eat them all at once."
Funny Gag Eye Chart
A 60 year old once explained to me that as you get older, there are chemical changes that happen in your body. And when the chemical changes in your body meet the chemicals in the atmosphere, what it does is destroy the strength of your spectacles!
I just nodded and smiled ;-)
In any case, it's important to regularly check your eyes as you get older. Just print of this handy eye-chart for the birthday boy/girl (old codger / old bag).
Old-School Hearing Aid
"New fangled technology is okay, but old-school technologies have their benefits. Fred, Sally, and I chipped in to buy you this old-school hearing aid. It's strong as a rock, hard to lose, never runs out of batteries, and one size fits all. You should get good use out of it."
Actual funny 60th birthday gag gift is an old traffic cone to be used as an ear-horn. Or, just make a cone out of a big piece of card.
Make-up Applicator for 60+ Year Olds
"As you get older, your cosmetics needs change. Actually, they grow. Exponentially."
This 60th birthday gag gift is to help your 60 year old friend get started in the not-so-delicate art of make-up for oldies. Get a large paint brush or paint roller and package it as a cosmetics applicator. Include some instructions to
"use even strokes for maximum coverage"
.
Extra Strength Wrinkle Remedy
"When you're young, you can buy products to smooth out your wrinkles. As you get older, your wrinkles get deeper, and the best strategy is simply to fill them in."
Actual "gift" is some crack-filler and a caulking gun from the hardware store.
Just a warning, I'd advise that this 60th birthday gag gift is only suitable for those ladies with a big sense of humor, not the overly sensitive types!
Birthday Cake with 60 candles
Putting candles on your cake is something people grow out of. But they say that old age is like returning to infancy, so why not revive the tradition? Put 60 candles on their cake! When they've recovered from their astonishment, you can tell them:
"Don't count. Just enjoy the glow"
.
Funny 60th Birthday Gag Gift Badges

- In dog years, I'd be dead.
-
Looks 32
Feels 18
Acts 10
-----------------
That makes me 60!
If you don't have a badge-maker, you could print out a silly birthday quote onto a sticker (like those ones used for addressing mail).
