Gifts by age

90th Birthday Gifts

Gifts for someone turning 90. Swing bands, silver-screen stars, early television and the champions of the 1930s to the 1960s. A 90th is often a family gathering across four generations, so the best gifts are ones everyone can join in with.

What is in the 90th birthday books

For this age we have trivia only so far: it works best read aloud to a group, and the answers are in the back for playing alone. Everything below is taken from the print files and the Amazon listings; where we have not measured something, we say so.

90th Birthday Trivia Book
Trivia · 202 questions · 92 pages · 6 x 9 in · 14.5 pt (listing; also measured) · multiple choice, four answers. Written mainly from a North American point of view. Counting every question whose text, answer or fun fact names a Canadian place, person, team or institution: 28 of 202. By the same rule, 7 touch on Britain (for example Oscar Peterson and the 1953 coronation).

Planning the party

A trivia round takes about half an hour: one reader, two or three teams, two or three rounds of ten questions. Our hosting guide covers the details, and the gift guide helps you choose between a quiz and a puzzle book.
