DP 40th birthday ideas.

My DP (of 2 years) turns 40 in a few weeks, I’m at a loss of what to buy/treat him to.
he doesn’t want a night/weekend away. Doesn’t want anything. Doesn’t want to celebrate. He said don’t waste money on him etc. I’m at a loss! Any ideas?

Romantic dinner for two in a nice restaurant or put on some sexy underwear and order a take away. Have fun.

How about an activity or concert?

What did you do for his 39th and how did he feel about that?
Some people genuinely aren’t bothered.

He generally doesn’t want anything or want to do anything, it’s not a 40 thing.

Then listen to him. Maybe just make your evening meal a bit nicer so you can reassure yourself you’ve made an effort.
