firstly i would never click on thread with this title so thanks!
so what would you buy a hugely successful impossible to buy for best mate / brother in law for his 40th!? we are really stumped.
does not need to cost a fortune but wants to be classy, thoughtful (he says skiing a bunch of strangers for help) and just not naff (ie, anything that pops up when you google '40th birthday gifts')
he's not a rider, but goes running. doesn't sup whiskey, prefers gin. so thats me goosed!
ps we have under 7 days.
A right fancy fountain pen
A properly titled thread?
40th birthday resent
1. A pen? Could go montblanc or even a wood turner using wood from your garden?
2.a forging course. See for example joel blacksmith knives - in a weekend he can make his own kitchen knife. The one I made with Joel was one of the best things I have ever done and the joy from using something I made is great every time I cook.
A solid silver guitar pick and a bottle of rum?
Power Kite and a bottle of Gin

I resented it too

Either:
Something personalised. An engraved gin glass?
Or:
An experience. Karting / skydiving / quads / shooting range / many many others.
A bike, obviously.
An experience
C&H
obviously
He drinks Gin...
All sorted...
As a Gin lover, if someone gave me this for a milestone birthday, I'd be very happy! 👍🏻
My Wife got me a flight in a Tiger Moth for my 40th & it was an amazing experience!
I'd definitely recommend it, although the current Covid situation obviously means things like this might not be possible for a while.

Gin you say.
Unique bottle and contents. Delicious.
Thought you were really resentful about being forced to celebrate your 40th by wife/friends/general peer pressure and came here to commiserate. Disappointing.
thanks. Tiger Moth might be a good shout, but then i thought he'd probably prefer wing walking! thats an expensive jolly! but it says 12st max...
has anyone bought or been bought a paragliding experience?
On a big birthday I think normally it is good to buy someone an experience, like a car track day, something they will remember.
Standard answer: fist-master 5000?
As above an experience / course. Zip wire in north wales? (That's what I wanted, but didn't get)
I recently turned 40, I got a fountain pen and this:
Also a wingback Chesterfield.
Meat.
BUdget?
An experience of some sort? Michelin star dinner? Off road driving day? track day?
It was my 40th Birthday recently, I too am a runner. A few things that I got that I thought were quite cool.
40 beers. My brother brought me 40 different beers that he'd accumulated over a few months. I like a beer and there was a load of stuff I'd never buy so that was a nice touch.
A bottle of Port from 1980. Not opened it yet, but looking forward to.
A pair of running shoes. I am a shoe geek and have wanted a particular pair for a while but could never justify the cost. I am now the proud owner of a pair of £240 Nike Vaporfly Next%.
A 2 day weekend of posh food. We have a weekend at Le Manoir and one at Ynyshir booked. Neither are cheap, both will be amazing.
Subscription to his favourite 3 OnlyFans.
Sinclair C5
Definitely a dinosaur table lamp. That is badass.
A flight in a microlight?
Feels just unsafe enough to make it pretty exciting.
I was bought it for my 40th and really enjoyed it.
Generally memories over things - experiences, meals, activities
Or something customised - custom map, print, art work (have a browse of etsy and not on the high street)
i got a white cat for my 40th, he's brilliant..
gin you say? get him a single malt or good rum.. he's 40 whats he doing drinking gin
