What the %^&* do you buy for a man who’s turning 60 or 70 or beyond?
Here’s our Go To list of best experiences that might just be EXPERIENCES OF A LIFETIME!
They’re a bit $$$ so best GroupTogether for them. If 20 guests chip in $50 each, booyah! one AWESOME gift. If you’re nervous about the awkwardness of collecting money, problem solved too. GroupTogether invites, reminds, collects, tracks and transfers the money to you for whatever you can dream up. It’s free and easy to set up and we even create a card with everyone’s messages and photos. It’s a really nice keep sake.
Afraid of getting left short for the group gift? Fear not! Our weekly reminders do the trick. And… don’t chip in, well, you’re not on the card. Problem solved.
1. Whiskey / Wine Tasting / Sampling
For lovers of a fine whiskey, what a treat to take a class to learn to appreciate the nuances of different “best” drops from the pros. There are:
- Blend your own wine masterclass – Try Urban Winery, Sydney
- Blend your own whiskey – Try Archie Rose Distillery in Rosebery, Sydney
- Whiskey subscriptions where they send you a different boutique sample each time. Try The Whiskey Order
- Some are whiskey or wine pairing classes with cheese. Try The Richmond Hill Cafe & Larder
2. Deep Sea Fishing Experience
An experience of a lifetime (fish kissing optional)! Treat him to this “bucket list” kind of day out. Maybe send him with a friend or the gang. There are charters all around Australia that have varying levels of luxury.
3. Quiet Headphones for TV or Plane
Bluetooth Headphones for silent TV enjoyment
Have you noticed that he’s always got the TV blaring these days (hearing not so great?). There’s a genius solution – blue tooth headphones. He can watch the telly in bed and his mrs can enjoy her book without hearing a sound. Heaven!
Noise cancelling Headphones for planes
Sit in the back of the plane and feel like you’re at the pointy end! Noise cancelling headphones make the movie sound perfect without hearing all the hissing or the snoring and knuckle cracking of your neighbour in 37D.
4. This Is Your Life – The Album
It’s the most special gift to receive a book of photos and letters from friends. It’s also an enormous amount of work to create. Why not get friends to chip in when they contribute their letters and get a design student to create the whole thing. Mission accomplished!
5. Gold Class Movie Tickets + Dinner
Easy peasy. For the movie lover in your life. A booklet of movie vouchers that’s a bit spesh. These days many movies offer gold class with wine and food included.
7. Vintage Sports Car Hire
For the car lover or someone who wants to cruise up Highway 1 in a classic car, why not chip in to spoil them. Maybe collect a bit more and throw in the weekend away to make it a weekend to remember. Try Vintage Class Car Hire in Australia
How to Collect for the Gift Without Pain

Then they do the rest: invite, collect, remind, create a group card and transfer the money or transfer an e-gift voucher to you. Done!
