  Not many couples make it to their 60th wedding anniversary, and those that do typically give gifts to each other that include diamonds, which are the traditional 60th wedding anniversary stone. The value and permanence of diamonds make them an ideal symbol for the milestone anniversary. Couples who are on a budget and friends and family who would like to give gifts can consider alternate options that honor and celebrate the long marriage.
  
  

Diamond Ring

• Both men and women appreciate rings that include diamonds in their design. Rather than getting a woman a ring with a large diamond like an engagement ring, choose a design that incorporates a few smaller diamonds. For a man's ring, select a wide band with a diamond set into it.
  
  

Brooch

• A woman celebrating her 60th anniversary would likely enjoy receiving a brooch with a design that fits her style and tastes. If possible, select a brooch with diamonds to match the traditional anniversary gift.
  
  

Watch

• As a fancy gift for the husband, purchase a gold watch that includes diamonds in its design. The watch could have diamonds in its face, around the face or even on the band.
  
  

Cuff Links

• Fancy cuff links with diamonds would be a dazzling addition to a man's wardrobe. He could wear them to special events such as the weddings of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
  
  

Floral Bouquets

• As a 60th anniversary gift, give a bouquet containing 60 flowers. Another idea is to purchase decorative clear gems on the ends of wires to add to a bouquet. A dozen classic red roses with 60 tiny sparkling "diamond" accents would be a classy and relatively inexpensive anniversary gift.
  
  

Framed Photo

• Children or grandchildren looking to give gifts to the 60th anniversary couple should consider framing a photo of the couple on their wedding day or a recent photo of the couple or the whole extended family as a gift. To incorporate diamonds, the frame could include a diamond pattern or include an inlaid diamond.
  
  

Diamond Pattern

• A creative way to give a diamond gift to match the traditional theme is to select a gift with a diamond pattern. Scarves, rugs, vases and other home decor items often incorporate diamonds into their design.
