40 Gifts for 40th Birthday Idea

40 Gifts for 40th Birthday Basket

My sister's friend was turning 40 and she bought her 40 gifts for her 40th birthday. Even though most of the gifts are simple little things that can be purchased at the dollar store, Target, Walmart, etc. her friend absolutely loved it and everyone at the party thought it was such a clever idea! This list can be used for a 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, etc. birthday gifts, just add or subtract items as needed. 40 things gives you a pretty great start! This list is originally what gave me the idea to create the more involved 40 gifts for my best friend's 40th birthday.

40 Simple Gifts for 40th Birthday

The gifts are what my sister purchased for her friend. Think of the person you are buying for and get creative! This list should give you some good ideas and a head start! All together she spent $56.00 on the entire thing.
