40th Birthday Present Ideas - Gifts to Consider

Are you seeking 40th birthday present ideas and inspiration?

Nowadays, when a person turns 40, it's usually not met with the doom and gloom that the 40th birthday was met with in the past. In fact, some people consider 40 the "new 30!"

However, you can't ignore the fact that 40 is one of those landmark birthdays and, therefore, when purchasing a gift for someone, you want to make sure that it is something memorable and special.

So what are some 40th birthday gift ideas?

For starters, you can always go with something that they can get some use out of. Think about what they enjoy doing, what they've talked about doing, and what might be beneficial to them.

If you have a friend or family member who has been talking about joining the gym recently, for instance, then you might want to consider a gym membership for 40th birthday present ideas. On the other hand, if the person that you are buying for has really wanted to improve their golf game, then you could potentially find them lessons with someone in the area.

A lot of people have hobbies that they would like to explore, but they don't want to spend the money on themselves. If you have a friend who loves to paint and has always talked about taking classes, then look into some inexpensive community art classes that you might be able to sign them up for. However, you must ensure that they won't infringe on the person's time, too.

Need more 40th birthday present ideas?

If you want to provide a service for the person while still giving them some fun, then consider a gift that keeps on giving. For example, if the person that you are buying for loves to drink coffee, then consider purchasing them a Starbucks Gift Set. This comes with a $50 gift certificate, a "Happy Birthday" mug, and a couple of other freebies. You can also design your own set, too.

If you need to purchase something inexpensive, then gift certificates to the movies, favorite restaurants, and favorite stores are almost always welcomed. Try pairing these 40th birthday present ideas with other inexpensive gifts. For instance, if you are giving them a certificate to the cinema, then include a bag of popcorn and some candy bars in the bag, too.

"Fun" presents are always in style. If you want to commemorate their age in an interesting way, then think about getting them date of birth newspapers. You can get the entire edition of the New York Times from their date of birth printed on archival stock and even hardbound and gold stamped if you wish. A way to roll back the years - an interesting 40th birthday present idea, isn't it?

Another fun, yet practical, gift that is becoming extremely popular is the VCR to PC VHS Ripping Recorder. More than likely, the person that you are buying for has a bunch of video tapes stockpiled somewhere in his or her house. Getting him a recorder that can convert his old tapes to CDs or digital files on his computer can be a great way for him to preserve his memories, or even his favorite old television shows.
