Not the sort of thing I'd normally post, but I'm totally stumped for ideas on what to get my brother for his 40th.

Thoughts?

Is he active or sedentary?

Would he prefer a "thing" or an "experience"?

Very roughly, what sort of ballpark budget are we talking about?
 
For my brothers 30th many years ago we took them away for a weekend. Thought that was a pretty decent idea, may do it for his 40th as well as it's coming up.

I also bought my parents a bottle of wine from the year they were married on a significant anniversary. If your bro likes wine he may get a kick out of a 40 year old bottle. There are sites you can buy them from without breaking the bank too much: https://www.vintagewinegifts.co.uk/acatalog/1977-40th-anniversary-gifts.html

Quality on the cheaper bottles isn't going to be that great as I imagine there's a massive mark up on older vintages, but a nice novelty to drink a wine as old as you are. Plus they can keep the bottle.
 
A guy I worked with, used to buy gold as presents for landmark birthdays, his little sisters 21st he got her 3 bars, 21g each, Silver, Gold and Platinum in a little case. His theory was, his family would always have a rainy day fallback, and well gold bars are cool. This were a while ago, the cost of gold probably prohibitive now.

A 40g bar of Gold is what £1,000, just an idea.
 
Well that is gold against the dollar (not gbp) - you can see it's in a range. Blue bar is current price - red arrows are now, Jan 2016, jan 2015. Anyway agree gold is a good gift wish I'd got that for my 40th instead of being taken to a strip bar and feeling rough for days with nothing permanent except an angry wife.
