Needing inspiration for 40th....

inbound · 22-09-2011, 04:57:31 PM

Some ideas (difficult without knowing someone):

If you wear glasses, you could ask them to put their money towards laser eye surgery - I'd highly recommend it (although it's a lot more than �500).

Do you have a charitable side? �500 can go a long way in many countries (even in the UK if spent in the right way).

A golf membership for a year? or golf lessons?

A decent bike, if you'd use it.

Do you listed to music while working? What about a good system/headphones for that?

Nostalgia... do you have favourite tv shows that are not repeated? Get them to buy you box sets (amazing how many can be bought for that amount of cash - remember to tell them to shop around online).

How about tickets to music gigs / festivals. A trip to Scotland for T in The Park (camping) along with a few days tagged on in Edinburgh would be about �500 - problem would be who would go with you that you know.

Do you support your national football team? if so, how about an away game and mini-break.

running low on ideas now...

I second the T in the Park suggestion. I've been there several times in the early days, and the camping weekend is an experience. Just make sure you pitch your tent on higher ground than the portaloos, it's not nicknamed piss in the park for nothing.
