40th Gifts for Him

Many men have expectations of their life once they hit the big 4-0; some are fulfilled, and others are definitely not. Regardless of the regrets in life he may have, imagine all the stories he’s got locked in his brain and ready to load whenever someone is in earshot. At this point, he’s heading towards middle age and, we guess like anyone, hoping for the best of life and preparing for the worst. Celebrate the best of times with him with an unforgettable gift that will give him an experience to remember, make him cherish a new keepsake or cause him to spit out his beer in laughter. It sounds easy when we put it like that, doesn’t it? Gifting is not a walk in the park, but we try and make it as simple as possible for you, no matter how you gift, with plenty of ideas that we hope will spark inspiration to you finding the perfect gift.

WHAT TO BUY FOR HIS 40TH BIRTHDAY?

EXPERIENCE

Have you read somewhere that life begins at forty? So have we. In fact, we’ve read that about every milestone there is and we call BS. He has an entire thirty-nine years of life, full of memories and experiences, but there’s no harm in adding even more fun ones to his collection and trying to top everything he’s ever done before. With experiences from adreneline thrills and driving sleek supercars to eating somewhere completely different and finding a new hobby, there’s so many awesome activities that will provide everlasting moments for him to look back on say, “I did that at 40!”

SENTIMENTAL

For a start, we need to dismantle the misnomer that men “don’t cry” or “can’t cry”. Of course they can; they’re human beings! So, getting all sentimental on him for his special day is something we welcome and recommend. After all, he loves feeling special and unique and loved just as much as his sister or wife or friend, doesn’t he? Buy him a personalised glass which will give him a daily/weekly/fortnightly reminder that you couldn’t imagine life without him or write him a message of your own to put in a bottle; it could be a poem or a letter, anything you like! A truly special gift is this leather bracelet with a stainless steel piece where your own handwritten message is engraved; something he can carry with him wherever he goes.

SMILES & LAUGHTER

Every man turning forty needs a good barrel of laughs and what better way to do that than to indulge his cheeky, childish and fun side with a novelty gift that he will wrestle to keep in his home. From mints to help him understand the opposite sex to pointless games that bring hours of fun, there’s plenty of choice.
