What did your partner/husband get you for your 40th

[hopingtobedally]

As above thank you

Trip to Budapsst...that was cancelled because of Covid!!

It was my 40th 3 weeks ago...I got Harry Potter Lego and was delighted!

Nothing.

To rub salt in the wound I was 12 weeks pregnant and suffering from HG. I stayed in bed all day (couldn’t move without puking to be fair) and was miserable.

I’m very jealous reading some of these replies.

A Kindle and a big slap-up meal at home with friends. It was wonderful! I am an avid reader, so the Kindle was great. I'm easily pleased.
I'm sure I had other wonderful bits but tbh, It's 8 years ago and I was coming to terms with a stillbirth a few months earlier, so my memory's a bit vague.

Not 40 yet but for my 30th I got a trip to New York, a diamond ring and he took me for a lovely dinner. Going to pull out all the stops for his 40th next year!

Jimmy Choo handbag
Christian Louboutin Shoes
2 nights in Ritz
Michelin star meal
He really treated me !!

Took me for an indoor skydiving experience (I didnt want a gift, I seem to have reached a point where I am just not into 'things').

Our Decree Absolute.... best present he ever got me

A massive Weber barbeque. I bloody love barbecuing and it's used pretty much daily in the summer (and solidly for a week in winter when our oven died)

Nothing as per usual and sulked all day because it was my birthday.
For his 40th he had loads of gifts, a night out and a big party all arranged by me.
The twat is now an ex.

A mulberry Bayswater

Trip to Vegas, family dinner the week before and a diamond ring from Tiffany’s whilst in Vegas. He did well.

Cartier tank watch

A surprise trip to Antwerp with the children with a visit to a jewellers to pick up a beautiful emerald necklace and earring set. They were so excited all the way there. It was lovely.

If you look through the majority of replies the gifts are of high value. Why does high value have to commemorate a big birthday? The lower value gifts often come with an excuse or have been ungratefully received.

He took me for a child-free walking weekend in the Peak District. The dogs came though

A Labrador puppy 💕 (we already had a lab and it was my idea, not an irresponsible surprise). She's 8 now and still every bit as adorable.

I prefer to do things than receive presents so for my 40th we went to New York for 4 days, was amazing but very hot

I went on holiday to the Scillies by helicopter

We saved for a year then went to London for 4 days without kids, got cheap theatre tickets, ate street food every meal and drank lots of beer. Best weekend of my life

5 diamond eternity. It was also our fifth wedding anniversary and I was expecting our much wanted DS.

Diamond necklace - it was ridiculously expensive so I returned it 😂

Just being nosey what did you do with the money.

Now ex husband. I was 38 weeks pregnant. He got me a bottle of whiskey. I couldn’t drink it obviously so he did over the next few days. So... he gave me a grumpy arse hungover husband and the stress of worrying how I might get into hospital if I went into labour early and he was drunk.
