40th Birthday Gifts

Reaching the age of forty is as big as any other milestone. The birthday celebrant is well and truly heading towards middle age and some celebrating is in order, whether they want to or not. From experiences with memories that last a lifetime to personalised gifts they will cherish and novelty items that poke fun at their new decade, we have plenty of inspiration and ideas for you. Nevertheless, buying a 40th birthday gift might feel completely mind-boggling; perhaps they’re the first person you know who is turning the big 4-0 and you’re struggling with what to buy. Perhaps you’re used to it by now: yet another birthday milestone under someone’s belt means buying a gift is less daunting than it used to be. However you feel about buying a 40th birthday gift, the whole gifting process can be a little tedious or overwhelming or, in our eyes, fun. It depends on the kind of gifter you are, whether you love it or loathe it, have copious amounts of lists or leave it until the very last second. Whichever way you gift, we can help you make your loved one smile, laugh, cry or jump up and down like a big kid, despite their age.

You know who you’re buying for

Perhaps it’s your hubby who is about to hit 4-0 and you want to spice things up a bit for his birthday, switch off your phones and spend some quality time getting to know each other’s more intimate spots. Perhaps you’re after a gift for your mum; treat her to a beauty day to capture or rejuvenate her beautiful self. Perhaps it’s your older brother who’s turning forty and you want to tease him with something a little before his time; the right pair of socks are a sure way to a strike through your name on the Christmas list this year.

You know exactly what you’re looking for

You’ve been counting down the days until their birthday. You’ve got another 53 [insert alternative number here] days or so to go and have to force your mouth shut before you spill any details before you’ve even bought the gift itself. Don’t delay that excitement any further and head straight to the search bar at the top of the page. With any luck, you’ll be leaving here a very happy customer. If by any chance we don’t have what you’re looking for, we’re not perfect. Some great gifts – such as fragrance, lingerie, flowers, clothing and designer brands – are not in our forte and we sincerely hope you find them!

You know the occasion, but not the gift

It’s a 40th birthday celebration. Either that or you’re on the completely wrong page. If you’re in need of further inspiration regarding this milestone birthday, click through to “Gifts for Her” or “Gifts for Him” where you will find more streamlined gifts for two genders. To give you some sort of an idea, we have gift experiences, personalised keepsakes, novelty gifts, and more.

You know what they will love but need a nudge in the right direction

You know this person inside-out and have been watching their reaction to turning forty over the past year. However they feel about it, make it one to remember with Find Me a Gift’s three gifting sectors: experience, sentimentality and fun. Buy them the chance to do something they’ve only ever dreamed of such as blasting a supercar around the track, having a flying lesson or swimming with sharks. Gift them with a keepsake they can cherish forever such as a personalised wall art or glass. Make them laugh with a fun game of Scrawl or a book about having a mid-life crisis. With many of these gifts, if they relate to their personality, your relationship and memories you share, you’ll encompass all three of our gifting ingredients, making for the best gift possible.

You need something ASAP, whatever the gift

Whatever your excuses, you’re running out of time. We don’t need to hear them because we’ve already got your back. Just click through to our super fast section where you’ll find all the 40th birthday gifts available on Next Day Delivery (as long as you order in time – none of this ordering at midnight and hoping it’ll be there the next day). You’re welcome.
