A little different than the norm
as a Birthday Gift for the 40 Year Old
Consider doing something just a little out of the box for a gift. Look for some of these ideas:- An old magazine that matches the date of their birth as close as possible.
- A calendar from the year they were born.
- Hire someone to put a tacky sign in their yard saying "Lordy, Lordy look who's 40!"
- A Rookie Baseball, Basketball, or Football card from the year they were born
- A model kit for a popular car of the year they were born
- Something from each decade of their life starting with the year they were born and adding 10 years.

- I am turning 40 in August and I'm having a very hard time accepting my new age to be..... I still wish I were in my 20s (but with my wisdom, of course....) I did solve the Rubik's cube when I was 13 years old. I was quite obsessed with it, to be honest.... Lol Anyways you made me feel a little better about turning 40 soon.... I love your lenses!!

- I'm right there with puzzlemaker....can't believe how time flies either! Just turned 40 earlier this year as well and so did my hubby. Funny that you have the Rubik's cube in this lens cuz that is what I got him along with some other funny things like a colorful beanie cap with a twirler on the top that read "I don't want to get old". Fun ideas and great lens!
