A 70th birthday is a big one!
They've taken 70 trips around the sun. This is no mean feat. It certainly deserves to be commemorated. That's why when someone you know is turning 70, they should be celebrated with an epic 70th birthday video montage.
70 is a true milestone. Turning 70 means that you're still young enough to go out and explore the world around us but old enough that everyone leaves you alone while you nap through dinner.
When your special someone is turning 70, what do you give them? It is their platinum jubilee, after all. So, we have some great ideas for the perfect 70th birthday video gift.
What's the Perfect Gift for a 70th Birthday?
There always comes a time for that big birthday dilemma — what do I get them for their birthday? The birthday dilemma is even more pressing for someone turning 70 years old.
Like, what do they need that they don't already have?! Is there anything they'd be surprised by that they haven't already seen in the past 70 years?
Finding that perfect gift is one of the greatest feelings in the world.
What’s the Perfect Gift?
The perfect gift must meet many criteria, especially if you want to impress someone turning 70.
However, ideally, the perfect 70th birthday gift must be NICE:
Novel: not yet owned by the receiver
Individualized: tailored to the receiver’s likes and wants
Convenient: easy to buy, easy to post, easy to wrap
Everlasting: to last a lifetime of memories
In this case, we have the perfect gift, plus the 70th birthday person will probably have never received one of these experience gifts before.

Make this the best birthday yet with these fantastic 70th birthday gift ideas. We all know that choosing a 70th birthday gift for a special person in your life is tough.
The 70th birthday person probably has everything they could ever want. So try getting something that's a little more personal and something that says, “I'm thinking of you.”
Give Experiences, Not Things
When you're about to turn 70, you start to learn to value experiences over things in life. You've had enough material gifts and appreciate the value of experiences and being surrounded by those you love.
This can make it much easier to figure out what kind of gift to get someone turning 70. An experience is a perfect gift to get someone. Whether you're planning or looking for a last-minute birthday gift, an experience gift can be easy to arrange. Not only are experiences more thoughtful, but they are rewarding for both the receiver and giver.
What is an example of an experience gift? Well, a VidDay 70th Birthday video. Then think of experiences that the 70th birthday person has always wanted to do. For example, do they have a bucket list they are trying to complete?
Or maybe they would love something simple like going to the movies, taking a painting class, making pottery, or having a homemade “spa day.” These are priceless memories or skills that last a lifetime.
“The seventieth birthday. It is the time of life when you arrive at a new and awful dignity; when you may throw aside the decent reserves which have oppressed you for a generation and stand unafraid and unabashed upon your seven-terraced summit and look down and teach — unrebuked.” — Mark Twain
Give a Gift for Good
What does giving someone a gift for good mean? It's simple. It means giving someone a gift that will give back to the recipient and others. It's the kind of gift that keeps on giving. What are some 70th birthday gifts that are given back?
Think about donating in their name to one of these causes:
Environment
Animal shelter
Children in need
Mental health services
LGBTQIA+ youth, to name a few.
Think about what is near and dear to their heart and make a meaningful donation. Or you can make a difference with your wallet by supporting companies that give back to the world and their communities.
The most meaningful gifts have one thing in common — they give back.
Plant a Tree
What better way to honor someone for their 70th birthday than planting a tree on their behalf? Planting a tree is a living tribute to them and their everlasting legacy. Not only is planting a tree something special for their 70th birthday, but it also helps to create clean air, drinking water, and natural habitat for wildlife to thrive.
Thankfully with VidDay, you can get a two-in-one gift because, with every video sold, a portion of VidDays profits goes to planting trees. So far, we've planted over 100,000 trees, all thanks to you. So think about giving a VidDay 70th Birthday gift as a two-for-one — a video gift and a tree planted.
