GoVanGogh Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I bought DH 40 gifts. Some of them were very small, while a few were nicer/larger. It took him all day to open them all. :D When I turned 40, he gave me four nice gift cards to my favorite stores so I could spend a day out shopping w/o worrying about $$. I'm normally not a shopper, but it was really fun to go into the bookstore and know that I could buy whatever struck my fancy and not think twice about it.

Dad 4 Boys Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 When I turned 30, my wife (Chelle in MO) picked me up after work on a Thursday and drove us straight to the airport. Unbeknownst to me, she had planned a long weekend in Washington DC. All she told me in advance was that I had to be off on Friday. This was before kids, so we were more flexible then. Something like that would be fun if it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug's Mom Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 The weekend before dh's 40th I got pg. :lol: That's maybe not what you're looking for. For his b-day I threw a surprise party at a local restaurant. Had family and friends show up from the other side of the state. He was stunned. Since we owned a business at the time, they showed up early and got everything set up. I just had to get him there on time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 When DH turned 40 I loaded his iPod with 40 songs. 1 from every year since 1969 to his 40th. He loved it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougarmom4 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 My friend hosted a little Open House type of get-together for her dh when he turned 40--with a few treats. She asked those who wanted to, to bring 40 of something--anything. 40 m&ms, 40 paperclips, 40 paper airplanes, etc...it was fun to see what people came up with!

elise1mds Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 If you visit dealnews and do a search for 'banner,' you'll get a code that knocks the price of an 18" x 54" banner from $14.79 down to $0.01. You still have to pay shipping (standard is $8), but you can customize the banner to pick anything you want it to say and they have lots of styles. I just ordered one for a friend's 30th in October. Not necessarily what you were looking for, but I'm still giggling about this and wanted to share because if you plan a party for him, wouldn't that be fun to have that hanging in the room?

kitten18 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 When DH turned 40 I loaded his iPod with 40 songs. 1 from every year since 1969 to his 40th. He loved it. :) That's brilliant, I love it. My DH is turning 40 on August 18th. I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to try and plan a very small surprise party. I really don't want to (not a good party planner) but I feel like I 'should'. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
