Difficult to answer without knowing your wife.
Could you ask someone who knows her well? You perhaps?
More seriously, what are her interests? For some a special piece of jewellery may be ideal. For others, a new bike.
Has she been dropping subtle hints? Staring in shop windows?

I bought her an eternity ring two years ago so that's out the window. I was thinking of a holiday but that's for all of us and not just her.

That's the sort of thing I was thinking of.
How about a nice watch? (I guess that's more of a man thing)
Does she like jewellery?

Sorry to ask such a question but is your wife happy about being 40?
(I wasn't and didn't celebrate ... although I relented 10 years later :wink:)

Get her a tattoo? That is one on her body not one on yours.

Takeaway, couple of bottles of wine and bang her twice, it's the little touches that let her know she's special

I managed to get a weekend of 'babysitting' from the family and took the other half to paris for the weekend - thursday evening to sunday afternoon cost approx £400 a 'few' years ago - flights from edingburgh, 4star hotel D, B&B. then 2 days lolling around gay paree. was grand.
Just an idea if you can get the rest of the family sorted.

My wife was recently 40. The last present, that I "forgot" to give her til later in the day was [smug mode] 2 tickets to see Andrea Bocelli sing live - outdoor concert in Tuscany, with baby sitting, flights and accommodation sorted... [/smug mode]
She cried (in a good way!)

I was thinking about Paris. We went there in 2004 and found a brilliant hotel and restaurant almost under the Eiffel tower. That's actually a brilliant idea. Thanks.

I took mine for a quiet weekend in Jersey for her 40th in September, weather was great, and nice to have time away from the kids for once.
Also did a cocktail party with everyone dressed up posh which was fun - I had to sample all the cocktails I was making too

My wife is getting a recurve bow for hers.

Tis my Wifes 40th on Tuesday. Much collaboration with her friends & she's off to Health Spa for the day. (If your tempted to go for such a treat for your wife, dont spring it on her on the day though, apparently they need to wax etc before such a day).
She's yet to find out about the secret party for when she gets back, & the diamond earings & necklace I've bought her. Has been awful playing it down but will be worth it. (I hope...).Posted 2 years ago # -

That's a bit sad CG. I've always marked my life as a celebration of getting this far not as a self tribute?!
