Forty and fabulous, darling! That’s how you want to make the birthday girl turning forty feel, despite all the facts that point to nature and getting older: change in taste and smell, the dreaded M word that means hot flushes at any time and increased chance of hearing loss. Yep, it all sounds great. But, more women feel confident in their own skin and there’s even a chance she’ll have an increased sex drive! You win some, you lose some. When it comes to buying a 40th birthday gift for her, you want to avoid the whole negative aspect and focus on the good stuff. It’s easier said than done, especially when the entire gifting process is a pain in the arse. Sometimes. We get that not everybody enjoys it, thrives from it and lives it like we do, so we’re here to make your life easier with specific examples of what to buy the lady in your life turning forty.
WHAT TO BUY FOR HER 40TH BIRTHDAY?
EXPERIENCE
She will have forty short years of experiences under her belt, but there’s no harm in providing more. Now is probably the time she’ll start appreciating it most. From getting all Ghost-like a la Demi Moore with a pottery lesson to indulging in a complete spa day with a person of her choice, there’s plenty of ways for her to spend a day doing something she enjoys. What about tantalising her taste buds? From quintessential afternoon teas to a range of delicious foodie spots and cookery lessons that spark a renewed love for her kitchen, there’s tonnes of choice.
SENTIMENTAL
Making a woman cry on her birthday is not something we’d usually promote, but if you’re making her cry because she is so in love with the wonderful gift you’ve bought for her, we’ll applaud, especially if you’ve bought it from Find Me a Gift. A trinket box with 40 centre-stage and a few words of your own is a good start. Fill it with trinkets that remind you of the birthday celebrant or memories the two of you share. Congratulations, you’ve taken sentimental to a whole new level. The same concept can be applied to a range of keepsakes, jewellery and wall art too.
SMILES & LAUGHTER
Giving her something to smile about on her special day and every day after doesn’t take much, unless she’s a hard woman to please. Whilst fun and novel gifts might be last on your brain when it comes to this momentous occasion, it doesn’t hurt to give them a cheeky surprise (alongside a proper, grown-up gift of course). From a doormat that exposes her addiction to online shopping to a chopping board with a voodoo twist, there will be something that makes her chuckle, even if she never uses it once her birthday month is over.
