40th Birthday Gift Ideas For Men & Women

Forty is a milestone worth marking properly, and the 40th birthday gifts on this page are chosen to match: single malt gift sets, personalised bubbly, birthday flowers and chocolate crates, plus a couple of tongue-in-cheek T-shirts for anyone taking the big four-oh in their stride.

40th Birthday Gifts for Women

Flowers are an easy win when they arrive on the day itself. The Regal Birthday Roses in a Vase and the Bright And Brilliant Birthday Box Of Flowers are both ready to display, and the Fabulous Celebration Balloon and Rose Box adds a balloon to the roses. If she'd rather raise a glass, the Happy Birthday Pongracz Personalised Crate and the Birthday Rose Personalised Crate put a bottle of bubbly in a personalised crate. For a pamper-minded friend, the Charlotte Rhys Birthday Gift Hamper is a bath and body gift, and the Feisty Forties Ladies T Shirt is there for the woman who wants to wear her new decade with pride.

40th Birthday Gifts for Men

A good single malt is the classic 40th birthday gift for a man, and this page has several, including the Glenfiddich 15 Year Gift Box, the Glenlivet Twelve Year Scotch Whisky Set and the Singleton Whisky Gift Set. To make it personal, the Personalised Johnnie Walker Blue Gift Set, the Personalised Johnnie Walker Platinum Whisky and the Personalised Bells Whisky Gift Set are all personalised, and the Jameson Select Reserve Whiskey Crate suits an Irish whiskey fan. The May the Forties T Shirt is a lighter gift for the Star Wars fan in your life. For more ideas, browse our gifts for men.

Bubbly and Chocolate for the Party

If there's a party, bring the bubbly. The Personalised Moet Brut Champagne, the Personalised Moet Magnum and Dom Perignon in a Wooden Gift Box are made for a toast, and the Moet Rose Ice Bucket Gift Set comes with an ice bucket to keep it cold. Prefer something sweeter? The Lindt Chocolate Birthday Crate, the Chocolate Crate of Happiness and the Birthday Wishes Chocolate Box cover the chocolate lovers.

Make It Personal

Many of the gifts here can be personalised, from whisky gift sets to bubbly in personalised crates, and that's what turns a good bottle into a 40th birthday present they'll keep the crate from.
