40th Birthday gift ideas?

Both my sister and her friend turn 40 this year and are having a joint birthday party, they have both come out of long term relationships in the past year and are having to start all over again.
I would like to give them both something which would mark this fresh start, any ideas?
Looking forward to your replys!
regards VLT

    Has anyone any ideas? Please!!!!!!!!!!
  • Wow thats a hard one,but I,ve turned 40 and had a great time.We went to a restaurant that hosted hen nights.it was a greek banquet and the waiters had to carry us party girls one by one and we had to dance on a table in front of everyone.The other thing was I went on a karoke night and had to sing because I was 40.
    I also drove a mini racing car round a track and won a best mum competition.
    The trick was it made me feel young.
    And I still feel young.
    Make um feel young.sure you,ll think of something

    Hi,
    It nice to see that you are giving them a party as well as birthday gifts. I think you can get from here a large variety.

    Thanks

    What about those make up and photo days? Or spa vouchers?

    Or paintball. Paintball is awesome.
