40th Birthday Gifts: It's All About Fun and Frolic

Sunday, March 21st, 2010 | Women's Interest

Turning 40 isn’t a worrisome proposition any more. Unlike the old times where our moms and grand moms thought of reaching 40 as being middle aged, today being 40 is considered as the point where true life. These days, most 40 year olds take care of their appearances and make sure that they look as young and vibrant as a 20 year old! So, when you choose a birthday gift for a 40 year old, keep this new attitude change in mind. Let me tell you what I did for my 40th birthday celebrations. I had recently had a break up and wasn’t in any mood to have fun. I still remember looking at the bathroom mirror and feeling sorry for myself. It was a very old and worn out woman staring back at me and that depressed me further. Hmm, not a very good start to my fourth decade on planet earth! But, things did change for the better as the day progressed

After putting a new much more presentable face on and dressing up for a night out on the town with my terrific group of girlfriends that were nothing short of hell-bent on making my 40th birthday a night to remember; it was a round of Cowboys and then my best friend pinned the fabulous “Kiss Me. Its My Birthday” badge to my shirt and we were all set for a magnificent night of partying and celebrations with no ex in sight!

Other 40th Birthday Gifts that I got include exotic toasting champagne glasses engraved with Happy 40th Birthday and then some other humorous After a few drinks, we were competing with each other to live up to the fun and frolic image that the messages portrayed. And it was great to be the centre of attraction among guys as well! With that t-shirt badge I could not have expected any less, I guess! I also received the more traditional gifts – a pen set, perfumes and even a cute teddy bear that really took me back in time to my childhood. All in all it was a night worth remembering – I can’t thank my friends enough!

I also got one of those funny “40 something vouchers” booklets from one of my daughter’s girl-friends that thought I’d enjoy a good laugh! Don’t stress if you are turning forty because in all honesty it’s nothing to be afraid of. Hold you head up high, buy a good bra and earn a few good makeup tricks! I might just need those vouchers after all!

Actually I often look fondly at the photos of my friends and I from that great night out which are displayed in my beautiful, brushed silver tone, diamante encrusted flip album – a present of course. I wonder what mischief we will get up to for the next 40th which is happening in two months time! I’d better get online and find some fabulous 40th birthday gifts and accessories because I do believe I am the party organizer for this fabulous 40th event!
