40th birthday present help!

I am useless and disorganised. It’s DH’s 40th birthday this weekend and I haven’t bought a present. (In my defence I’m on mat leave with 3 under 4s and living through a house renovation…no excuse I know).

I’ve ordered decorations and a fancy picnic but feel like he needs a present or two to open. Any ideas for great last minute presents?

I'd say that's an entirely bloody reasonable 'excuse', actually!
Fancy picnic/decs sounds lovely, btw. Good luck.

Hmm. Speedy delivery before Saturday is your biggest barrier.

Without knowing more about his tastes/your budget, these are fairly safe options:

Experience e-voucher? This one gives choices:

Or gig/event tickets for you to do something together?

If you're looking for something to unwrap for real, this company is my go-to:
https://www.presentindicative.com/

You might just squeeze in for their Express Delivery, if you order this a.m.

Otherwise, I suppose Amazon Prime is your best bet.
Maybe an equivalent to this, if he has i-gadgetry:

Good morning 🌞

I suggest a pocket watch, I've bought them for my sons before, there is next day delivery and you can get it engraved later. A massive price range so you should be able to find something whatever you want to spend.

Party sounds perfect 🎉 Enjoy

Do you have an overnight babysitter? Even for 6 months time for a night away/theatre/event you could book him?

Interested in this thread?
