What to give a husband for 40 years?
They say that at 40, life is just beginning. Those who have crossed this line know this truth firsthand, so choosing a gift for a 40-year-old man is not so difficult. He begins to change his views on life, to be interested in new areas of the world around him, and he is delighted with almost any new thing. But if for guests there is no difficulty in choosing a suitable gift, then for the birthday man's wife it is a real problem. Therefore, we suggest that wives of 40-year-old men take advantage of the following options.
Traditional gifts
Who, if not a wife, knows best about her husband's hobbies! If he is a collector, he will be happy to receive a new copy for his collection, if he is a fan of the bath, then bath accessories will come in handy.
At this age, men still love to spend time with their friends, so the birthday man will be happy with an evening organized by his wife with friends.
The following items can also be used as gifts.
- Subscription to the gym. It's no secret that by the age of 40, many men are worried about changes in their figure, so the hero of the day will be glad to visit the gym. Even if the spouse is in great shape, then he will not be offended by the opportunity to visit the instructor and once again support his body.
- Sport equipment. This option is suitable for those who prefer to train at home. You can buy, for example, new dumbbells, kettlebells, equipment, home exercise equipment.
- Car accessories. By this age, usually all men have cars, and the spouse always knows what exactly her husband lacks for a car salon. If your wife is not particularly versed in cars, then you can limit yourself to a certificate in an auto accessories store.
- Brazier or barbecue... At 40, the favorite vacation for most men is a trip to nature. Many of them are building their own homes, while others become the owner of a summer cottage, and new equipment for organizing a picnic is a very practical and pleasant gift.
- Gadget. Modern gadgets are always an actual gift. Suitable, for example, a smartphone, laptop, microphone, e-book, GPS.
Original presents
If on this day you want to surprise your husband, then you can present an original gift.
- Portrait of her husband on canvas. You can take either an individual portrait or a general photo. This gift will always remind your spouse of a happy marriage.
- Gift with a personalized engraving. A flash drive, flask, pen are suitable as a presentation. In psychology, it is believed that a person likes to see his name, so such a gift will always cheer up the birthday person.
- Set for playing poker or monopoly. The husband certainly does not expect such a surprise. This present will brighten up family evenings, bring spouses closer together, and become an excellent occasion to invite friends over.
- A pet. Perhaps the man is a lover of animals, but his wife does not agree to his proposal to have a four-legged family member. If the wife is still ready for a pet, then the 40th anniversary is a great reason to give a fluffy gift. Most likely, the spouse is aware of the preferred breed.
Romantic surprise
If the husband and wife decide not to celebrate their 40th anniversary in a noisy company, then you can surprise your spouse and organize a romantic dinner in the open air. At this age, romance is not such a frequent companion of marital relations, and the husband's anniversary is a good reason to remember your feelings.
There are many rooftop restaurant rentals now available for romantic evenings, but be sure to check the weather forecast carefully.
You can also limit yourself to dinner at a regular restaurant. It would be nice to foresee the menu in advance. Perhaps the spouse has long dreamed of trying something exotic, but there was no time to visit the restaurant or this dish was too expensive. On your birthday, you can afford a little waste.
Another romantic and original idea is to prepare a gift with your own hands. For example, you can buy or make a pretty chest on your own and put forty pieces of paper in it, each of which will say why the spouse loves her husband. You can use traditional options, for example, "For courage", "For courage", or you can pick up cool and even intimate words, for example, "For the fact that only you know how to kiss my ears so passionately" or "For being so cute you wrinkle your nose when you laugh. "
To really surprise your husband, you can sing a romantic song for him, or take guitar lessons in advance and perform a beautiful composition.
If the holiday is celebrated in a noisy company, then you can order a video surprise in advance. For example, you can ask all friends and close relatives to send video greetings, beautifully process video postcards and demonstrate the video in the festive hall with beautiful music.
What not to give
There are superstitions associated with gift bans. These include the following.
- Handkerchief. It is believed that this family will have a sea of tears.

- Alcohol. If the hero of the day leaves a gift for "later", he will lose his health. You should open the bottle on the same day and drink to the health of the birthday person.
