When my husband turned 70, he seemed to feel old. I'd hear comments about the mind feeling able but not the body and hear about aches and pains from age. I'm not sure we can do much about those feelings.
As far as your dad goes, maybe taking him out for a nice dinner would be good and/or asking family, friends and neighbors to all send him a birthday card. That might make him feel special. Making him something is nice as well but he might get more use out of a throw and a large quilt. The throws are nice on these cool nights as you watch tv.
