go for what she likes! She might just want the company of all her loved ones, or a night out to watch the latest Theater presentation or a nice warm shawl or a scarf to protect her from cold, A cashmere sweater, or a health check up, or dinner at a nice restaurant, if she reads a nice book can be a great gift.
By the way Chocolates, perfumes,flowers and good company are always loved and welcomed for any occasion at any age.
Hope that she enjoys and cherishes her 60th

Gift vouchers are nice, but something a little more tangible might be good since it's a 'big' birthday (as long as she's not trying to downplay that of course). Maybe a nice bit of jewellery, a scarf, an ornament...I'm sure you'll be able to pick a nice gift based on what you know about her preferences

At that age she's probably got all the clutter she needs.
How about something from the Good Gifts Catalogue?
Its a charity catalogue where you can buy something in your friend's name. They get a lovely certificate and the presents really are life changing for those who receive them.
Gifts are as small a goat for a third world orphan right through to meadows of wild flowers.
£27 gives a third world child their sight back. Who wouldn't want that as their gift?

How about a cow, a goat or a pig! No Really.
Go to http://www.sendacowgifts.org.uk and buy your family friend an animal that can be sent to a family in the third world. That way you gift doesn't just gather dust but really helps somebody else.
My mum loved her goat!!!

Perfume is always a winner,and the price varies too,so you have a lot of choice,if you get really stuck a gift voucher,but it's not as much fun as giving a present

anything will probably do as long as you remember that 60 somethings today are not like the 60+ of yesteryear, i.e. they are much younger in mind and fitter and will not really appreciate knitting patterns, hankies and a bottle of 4711 !

A relaxing facial and manicure and pedicure. They are very reasonable at a beauty school and you can take her and make it a twosome. Me and my sister did that for our Mother and she just loved it and enjoyed the spirit of the girls day out.

What about theatre tickets?
Or make up a personalised hamper of the things she likes.
Or dinner gift vouchers. You can normally arrange it with the restaurant beforehand.
