What to give a man at age 40 - the top gift ideas for all occasions

Gifts for hobbies

By the age of 40, a man usually has a lot of friends, leads an active sports life, has hobbies. Therefore, it is possible to present a gift related to his favorite hobby. Depending on your favorite pastime can be purchased:

• for fishermen a variety of fishing rods, tackle, a boat, a special pot for ukha;
• hunter will be pleased with a new bag or accessories for cleaning equipment;
• an active tourist will need a sleeping bag, a tent, a kettle with a set of products, a set of knives, a cooler bag, a set of flasks;
• passive tourist will certainly need a suitcase or travel bag;
• a car owner will be delighted with new covers, leather steering wheel braid, video recorder, navigator, car vacuum cleaner;
• For athletes and for those who threaten to take up sports "next Monday", a good gift will be a paid subscription to a sports center, running shoes or a new uniform, a fitness bracelet;
• The home handyman can use modern tools or a case for them.

Not a bad gift can be collectibles: models of cars, planes, weapons. Such an idea will also help determine future gifts.

Gifts for work

Anyone can use a good expensive pen and notebook.

And if the birthday boy works in the office, you can present an unusual stand for stationery in the form of a retro car, ship, a massive figurine. Very often such gifts are given by colleagues. They also present funny cups or thermo mugs that retain heat for a long time inside the shell.

Such a gift can be complemented by a set of elite coffee or tea, a modern keyboard or a comfortable computer mouse, an hourglass or a digital photo frame.

Gifts for the home

For a 40th birthday, you can make unusual and stylish gifts for the home. These could be:

• an electric fireplace;
• An original bar or its filling;
• an unusual set of shot glasses or glasses, which can include both ordinary glasses and completely unusual for us salt shots;
• alcoholic board games;
• an orthopedic mattress or at least an orthopedic pillow;
• a modern LED alarm clock with a board for notes;
• a digital weather station;
• A comfortable computer chair or rocking chair and a plaid to it.

A beloved woman can give more intimate gifts, such as a leather belt with engraved initials, a purse and handbag in tone, a warm robe or poncho for two, a stylish wristwatch.

A friend can present a gift for a bath (brooms, a set of herbs or aromatic oils, a felt cap, a set of ladles), a brazier, a miniature smokehouse, a barbecue, an inflatable pool. A good addition would be gift packages of beer or good wine, depending on what drinks the birthday boy prefers.

Wicker furniture, a lounge chair or sun umbrella, a hammock will be useful for arrangement of the country house.

Gifts-emotions

Not always a gift for the anniversary can be expressed in material values. Sometimes gifts of emotion will bring great joy. These can be:

• a parachute jump;
• hang gliding;
• a descent down a mountain river;
• an unconventional journey in jeeps and buggies;
• go-karting;
• passing the rope course for adults;
• a visit to the rock climbing wall.

Perhaps a man would be interested in trying his hand at martial arts or ballroom dancing. Forty years - that's just the age when you still want to try everything on their own and already not ashamed to admit that something you can not.

You can return for a while to childhood and go to the amusement park or circus, eat ice cream in the street or look into a cafe and enjoy the most unusual cakes.

A good gift for your husband would be a romantic dinner on a nearby rooftop or on his own balcony. In the cold season, when the weather is not conducive to a pleasant meal outdoors, you can arrange a costume dinner by candlelight at home.

If the spouse is not planning to officially celebrate the anniversary in a cafe or restaurant, you can arrange an impromptu party, quite unexpectedly for the birthday boy inviting guests on this big day. And let this time there will be no long formal speeches, easy relaxed fun will long remain in the memory of the jubilee. It is not even necessary to hire a host, enough to stock up on firecrackers and balloons. The rest of the fun adults provide for themselves.

A fascinating quest will be another emotion that will be remembered for a long time. This kind of entertainment is also quite possible to do yourself, without expensive organizers. Arrange the event can be in nature, in the cottage, in the garage and even in the apartment.

Expensive gifts

This category includes travel, expensive technology, and jewelry.

Such a surprise should be chosen with the family budget in mind. Gifts that are too expensive can keep the family at the bottom of the financial pit for a long time. Such experiences, of course, will also remain in the memory, but will not bring much pleasure.

Non-standard gifts

At the age of 40, jokes and friendly jokes are normally perceived. So you can order a caricature based on a photo, unusual t-shirts and sweatshirts with funny inscriptions, look into the gag store.

• A nice change will be a genealogical tree, an electronic presentation, a wall newspaper.
• Sophisticated toys (radio-controlled cars, quadcopter) only seem like a waste of money. Man can easily find their use in everyday life.
• Men with a sweet tooth will gladly taste the specially prepared cake.

Forty years is considered a special date and should be taken seriously (and gifts can be humorous. The important thing is to make them happy for the birthday boy.)

And an inexpensive little thing can be the best gift, if it is really useful and meets the interests of the birthday boy. And you should stock up on interesting congratulations and toasts.
