4. Take the birthday boy or girl on a road trip
Does the birthday celebrant enjoy a road trip? Who doesn’t? Maybe take them on a meandering voyage through the region where they grew up – a literal trip down memory lane. Or head somewhere they’ve never been before but have always wanted to go. Cruise down the Pacific Coast Highway or the Audubon. Tour national parks across the country. If it’s an option, rent a cool – yet safe – vehicle to travel in high style. Maybe a convertible or an RV.
5. Toast to the sweet life at a winery
Fun fact: all 50 U.S. states and most countries across the world produce wine. And many wine-producing vineyards feature tasting rooms where guests can sample the latest vintages and even have a library of special bottles from years past. Many wine-producing regions offer wine tours that transport imbibers in style. Take advantage of this and try all the vino. It’s a special way to celebrate their 75th birthday.
Not sure how to get started renting a winery? Then search your location on Peerspace to book a winery venue near you with ease. For instance, our friends in the PNW can book time at this beautiful vineyard winery with outstanding lake views in Manson, WA. There’s indoor and outdoor seating, gourmet pizza prepared fresh on-site, and of course, plenty of delectable wines with which to toast the birthday person.
6. Keep it simple and fun with a picnic party
Take the birthday person to a local park, forest, lake, or another natural area, either with guests or just the two of you. Have on hand a remarkable picnic spread, from basket to blanket, from bread and cheese right on up to wine and caviar. Or just break out some simple sandwiches and tell stories if that’s more what they prefer. A picnic is a simple, potentially elegant, tried-and-true way to celebrate a 75th birthday right.
7. Treat them to an afternoon at a museum
If there’s an artist or a specific art genre that the birthday person enjoys, do some research, and locate a museum or exhibit that the birthday person will love. Treat them to a day of stimulation and enrichment. Don’t forget to visit the museum gift shop for a print or memento. If the museum is in, say, Paris, all the better.
8. Let the pampering begin with a spa weekend
Everyone, regardless of gender, enjoys a relaxing trip to a spa – even if they don’t know it yet. Let some pros pamper the birthday person with a facial, a massage, a pedicure, or all the above. Relaxation is a fabulous gift, and a spa weekend is an equally fabulous idea for a 75th birthday celebration.
9. Let them explore new terrain during an expedition
Has the birthday person ever wanted to go on a trek of some sort? Maybe a pilgrimage or a safari? Today, it’s not too unusual to see elders on expeditions – but it’s still an extraordinary way to celebrate a 75th birthday. Tanzania and the Australian Outback beckon.
10. Plan a special naming ceremony
When someone turns 75, it’s prime time to name something after them. A cigar? A favorite meal? An unnamed species of flower? A star? Now’s the time to do so – you want them to enjoy it while they can. Getting something named after them is one of the most memorable 75th birthday ideas.
