Ideas for daughter's 40th birthday

8 replies

Oblahdeeoblahdoe · 08/10/2023 12:42

I'm hoping for some good ideas for a 40th birthday gift for my lovely daughter. She's a hard working mum of 3. I'm going to crochet a personalised blanket for her but want to give her something else. She's not into 'experiences' such as sky diving etc and has had several spa days. Able to spend £200-300. Looking forward to seeing your ideas.

I received an better sewing machine for my 40th, as I enjoy sewing.
I was also given hotel vouchers so I was able to take a couple of nights away when I wanted to in the year to pursue my wild swimming hobby.

Funnily enough we bought her a sewing machine for her 30th but she only makes the odd thing. Hotel vouchers might be good!

What's she in to?
I would have liked:
Le creuset set
Good chef knives
Designer handbag or Liberty voucher to choose a treat
Hotel voucher
Fancy meal somewhere (gherkin etc)
Piece of nice jewellery

Crochet blanket sounds lovely and something she can keep forever xx

Depends what she likes!

For my 40th, family clubbed together to buy a Lego set for me and I did a steam train experience which was the absolute dream. Plenty of 40yr olds would hate my idea of a good day.

I'm 40 soon and honestly I would just prefer the cash but I suppose it depends on her financial circumstances.

I did 40 presents for my sister. They were only little things in the main. Things like her favourite chocolate, a nice candle, a favourite photo framed. I got her a couple things to 'keep' too like a nice pair of earrings.

Lovely! I bet that made her feel special and loved
