Best 40th Birthday Gift Ideas for a Woman
External imageExternal imageA woman who’s turning 40 may have ambivalent feelings about reaching this milestone age. On the one hand, she’s passed a threshold and is now a “mature woman.” On the other hand, she still feels as young as she did in her thirties – so what’s the big deal? Thus, when giving birthday gifts to 40-year-old women, act with sensitivity. Funny “over the hill” gag gifts are fine to a point, but can go too far; a serious gift meant to honor her new decade is also in order. In fact, the best 40th birthday gift ideas for a woman who’s a wife, coworker, friend or family member will focus more on the person she is than on her age.
40th Birthday Gag Gifts for a Female
The theme of 40 lends itself to many gift and party ideas. Besides, to ignore her newly achieved age altogether is to fail to do justice to her milestone – or her sense of humor. One idea is to have an age theme at her birthday party – for example, 40 balloons, 40 candles, and 40 cupcakes laid out in the number 40 instead of the usual layer cake or sheet cake.
Another suggestion is to buy her a novelty gag gift for a laugh. Over the hill gifts like a coffin-shaped gift basket or a T-shirt printed with “39 Forever” are one option, but don’t be limited. Also try:
- Nostalgic gifts such as a music CD of ’80s music, or a 40th birthday gift basket of retro candy.
- Funny books about the age of 40, such as “You Know You’re Forty When…” and “Forty Things to Do When You Turn Forty.”
- Enormous teddy bear to be presented after a funny birthday speech, along the lines of: “People think turning 40 means getting old. It’s not true. You’re still in the prime of life. And here’s the proof.”
- Stylish, colorful handbag filled with funny poems about reaching 40, composed by the birthday female’s friends, family and coworkers.
Affordable 40th Birthday Present Ideas for a Woman
Besides a gag gift, acknowledge her age with something she’ll really love. Major milestone birthday presents can still be cheap and affordable. The key is to make them memorable, personal and thoughtful. Some suggestions for inexpensive birthday gifts for her:
- Try a box of chocolate truffles and a small pile of “chick lit” novels by bestselling authors Helen Fielding, Sophie Kinsella, Jennifer Crusie and Meg Cabot with a personalized card that says “Luxuriate. You’re 40 and you’ve earned it.”
- A modest 40th birthday gift basket or a spa gift box are ideal inexpensive gifts for a woman this year. Personalize a mini gift hamper by sticking in a 40th birthday candle and a photo of herself when she was a baby (get this from a family member).
- Buy her a Cross pen and a small diary or elegant notebook, and note on the birthday card that as of now, she’s officially an authority on everything, so “here’s a place to note your words of wisdom.”
Elegant 40th Birthday Gift Ideas for a Woman
If money is no object, honor the 40th birthday female with something special that she won’t forget – the latest Kindle e-book reader, a cashmere scarf, fine chocolates, Russian caviar, a bottle of aged balsamic vinegar, a stylish pink laptop computer, even a set of DVDs of all the seasons of her favorite television show (but first make sure she doesn’t already have them).

My Top 5 Best Friend Birthday Gift Ideas
External imageExternal imageStuck for best friend birthday gift ideas? No idea what gift to get for your best friend? To make that birthday a truly happy birthday, here are my top 5 best friend birthday gift ideas.
5. A Letter
If, like me, you don’t see your best friend that often. Write her a letter, a long newsy letter. It’s so rare to get a letter nowadays, it really is a great gift from the heart. Maybe even writing what it is about your friendship that you value. When ever I write my best friend a letter, I always pop in a tea bag. So even though I can’t be there for a good natter and a cup of tea, she can still read my letter with one!4. The Gift that Keeps on Giving
A magazine subscription is a gift that’ll last the whole year through, right until it’s time to wish her happy birthday again. Pick one that she has an interest in. Fitness, cooking, health, gardening, fashion, the list is endless. Avoid weight loss magazine, she might feel you’re trying to tell her something.3. A Gift Basket
At number 3 on my top 5 Best Friend Birthday Gift Ideas. Put together a selection of smaller gifts based on something she’d really like. For example if she likes Italian cooking, buy a pasta bowl and fill it with the finest pasta, olive oil, parmesan cheese and a good Italian cook book2. A Calender or Diary
If you best friends birthday is near or around new year, buy here something for the coming year. To make it that bit extra special, make some notes in it, birthdays and reminders. Write a few memories in it. If you look online you can find photo calenders that you can edit with notes agaisnt each date. I did one for my friend last year and put all the kids holidays in, and all the birthdays I could think of. Including the family holiday we’d all planned together later in the year.1. A Charm Bracelet
Make your best friends birthday gift special with that extra touch. If you buy her a charm bracelet, you can start off her collection with a ‘best friend’ charm. This also gives you future best friends birthday gift ideas, as you can add to her charm bracelet as years go by

Choosing a birthday card can be a tedious task. You want to make sure that the graphics, the style of the card, bday messages and the wording printed on the inside and cover of the card fit the occasion and the style of the person you are buying the card for. You want the card to be memorable and appreciated by the recipient and you especially want it to stand out from all the other cards they have received. The style, picture, or wording should pertain to how you truly feel about that person so he or she knows you actually spent time looking for a card rather than taking the first one you saw off the shelf. Here are some tips and guidelines on how to select the perfect birthday card.
The first thing the recipient sees when he or she opens the envelope to the card you chose for them is the style and theme of the card. If you choose a card with a generic theme, chances are the recipient won’t remember it as one of their favorite birthday wishes. When choosing a card, keep their personality and personal style in mind so that you choose a card that best fits them.
Another way to impress the recipient is by having one personally designed. If you have spent weeks and weeks trying to find the perfect card while traveling from store to store and you still haven’t found it, you can have one designed for them. With technology and its advances, it is now possible to personalize a card with a photo, a favorite sports team, a favorite hobby, personal interests, or virtually anything that represents who they are as a person. Children would enjoy a card with a photo of them on it from a birthday party or family vacation from a previous year. That allows the child to enjoy the fact that a photo of them is actually on a birthday card. With kids, it is easy to write a fun verse for the inside of the card: the sillier the better!
If you want to have a card personally designed for your wife or girlfriend, you can use a picture of a place or location that is special to you both. This will be sure to put a smile on her face as you have shown how much you love and care about her by remember places where you shared a special moment. Selecting a verse or wording for her card may be more difficult. When writing the verse for the inside of the card, make sure you are speaking from your heart with the best birthday wishes and not in generic terms. Express your feelings using words that are carefully chosen so they don’t sound generic or cheesy. Put some humor into, especially if you share a private joke. This shows her that you spent a lot of time choosing the perfect card designed especially for her.
Designing a birthday card for a parent or relative is probably the most difficult. If you are struggling with the words or theme for your family member, it is probably a good idea to start figuring out how to select the perfect birthday card off a store shelf that represents their personality and relation to you. If you are choosing a card for your husband, father, or grandfather and he enjoys fishing, try to find a card that has a theme on the front relating to fishing. Usually men prefer short and simple wording in their cards as they are not as sentimental as women. Keeping your message short and to the point will appeal to him more than a long drawn out verse that tells him how much you appreciate and love him. Usually men are satisfied with a simple card with a simple birthday wish written on the inside of the card.
When shopping for a birthday card for a child, keep the child’s age in mind and how well they will understand what is written on the card. Pre-school age children (ages 2 to 4) would appreciate and enjoy a card that is cheerful, bright, and expresses your birthday wishes by using pictures. A simple saying in the card such as “stay cool and have a rockin’ birthday” is enough to capture the child’s attention and make them laugh at the same time. Pop-up cards are also a great choice for younger children as it provides a visually fun and exciting birthday wish. School age children enjoy cards that are more humorous with cute pictures. A card with a picture of a dog doing or wearing something silly with a funny saying on the inside is perfect for this age group. As the child gets older, cards that are more detailed and have more heartfelt wording will be much more appreciated.
Figuring out how to select the perfect birthday card for a teenager proves to be more of a challenge. Two options you have are choosing a card that expresses your thoughts in a more sentimental and poetic way or choosing one that is funny, goofy, eclectic, and far from being poetic or sentimental. Very rarely will you find a card that combines these two concepts. This may be the perfect opportunity to design a card especially for them that fits their personality and their interests. They will appreciate it so much more and may see you in a different light knowing that you were able to find humor in the life of a teenager.
Figuring out how to select the perfect birthday card for anyone can prove to be a challenge. Birthdays are an important day for the birthday person as it is THEIR day and everything is all about them. Parties are a very common way to celebrate a birthday. While buying a present for the birthday girl or boy is thoughtful and exciting, how much time you put into choosing their birthday card is the icing on the cake.

A golden birthday is just that…it is golden! Otherwise known as Grand Birthday, Lucky Birthday or Champagne Birthday, it is your special day that comes only once in your lifetime. A “golden birthday” is when someone’s age matches the date they were born. So if your birthday is October 10th, then your golden birthday is when you are ten years old! Golden birthdays are celebrated from the first year of someone’s life to the thirty-first year.
Golden birthdays are special as they occur only once in your lifetime. Granted if a child is one the golden birthday may go almost unnoticed but if a child is a little older, it can be great fun! And if a teenager or someone in their twenties to thirty one has a golden birthday, it can be a special fun time to remember.
Again, the party can have a specific theme depending on what the birthday person likes, the attributes of that person, etc. Do they like sports or art or dance? Do they have any collections like bottle caps, stamps or miniature cars? These can all be incorporated into a theme for the golden birthday.
From the invitations to the decorations, and from the food and even the presents, the theme can be carried all the way through. Sometimes, it is easier if the guests are asked to bring something for the party. Maybe they each bring one food item to serve so many guests. This is called “pot luck” and helps the host and hostess out immensely especially if there a lot of invited guests. It cuts down on the food expenses and offers a special addition to the party in that you share some really good foods from others.
Another idea is to have the guests prepare some special gift for the party. It might be the sharing of a memory about the birthday person or a photo. Oftentimes people are asked to bring their own beverages to a party or a game to share. This game might be a popular game or a particularly fun game that you have that the host or hostess has planned to play. Sometimes people volunteer to bring music or to even play the piano or another musical instrument at the party, too.
Birthday parties may be hosted at a private resident, at school or a work place, or even planned to be held an establishment. These planned parties can be at public places (a skating rink or circus, restaurant or banquet hall, etc.) or private facility (characterized by renting out a space or having a designated private area).
Any combination of food could be served from snacks and beverages, to appetizers and drinks and even a full-course meal. Usually there will be cupcakes or cake served with candles and singing Happy Birthday. This is followed by opening of gifts and an exchange of birthday wishes.
A family may have a tradition of celebrating a golden birthday a special way. Maybe the birthday person gets to pick a favorite restaurant to eat at, maybe they select some special place to go to, etc. or a family may have the same “birthday treat” offered to each of their children on this golden day. This could be cash, a family trip, a larger useful item like a computer, etc.
The important thing is that the birthday person is honored and feels special for their golden birthday.
How have you celebrated or how will you celebrate your golden birthday? How will you make the golden birthday of someone else special?
