My oh loves his malts, so about 2 years afore his 40th I started buying any of the malts on special offer, this made the whole thing not cost as much and with it spread over the 2 yrs it wasn't so painfull.
He was one happy man whn he opened his 40 pressies and is still enjoying them nearly 5yrs later.
Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Well I'm just harking very close to that figure myself and I don't have a clue. Maybe organise a special event - baloon ride, flying lesson, F1 car ride, etc?

Aye he was and its saved me a fortune not having to buy malts at the full price over the last 5 yrs - there was method in my madness lol

You could always try for some overalls, for when you get him to decorate your home for you, save you paying for a decorator.

Ideas for 40th
2 years ago I had a fabulous 40th - here are some of the "gifts" I got:
A voucher to attend a rally driving and off-the-road army vehicles day out - BRILLIANT!
About 30 bottles of various malt whiskies
Engraved decanter and glasses
A newspaper of the day when I was born
Some wonderful books
A beautiful painting by a local artist
A brand new top of the range seal skin kilt sporran
Clan crest kilt pins
Cash to buy a new kilt
Silver pen set and knife opener
Lots of other ideas and it was like having several Christmas Days all in one! Do you know anyone who knits homemade Arran, Icelandic or Shetland garments - some guys appreciate that - and they're not cheap!

If you are going for a personalised gift or one in glass I suggest you visit Willie Bain at the Wick Industrial Estate. He will turn anything plain into something special. Great ideas there too, worth even a visit!
