Need clever ideas

Ok ladies, put on your thinking caps...my brother turns 40 on Friday and I need a fun gift idea. Normally I give 40 suckers with "40 sucks" or 40 Blow Pops and say "40 blows". Well, since I like to be a good example to my 9, 7 and 4 year old niece and nephews...those are out do to wording. Any ideas?

Re: Need clever ideas

  • You could do it anyway.  If you're concerned about the wording, just put it in a card for his eyes.  I'm sure the kids wouldn't mind having 40 suckers in their house, either. ;)

  • Does he like coffee and have a Keurig?  How about 40 of those coffee inserts?  still thinking...
  • Like's coffee, no Keurig.Sad I might have to do the sucker idea after all. Yes, the kids would live 40 suckers! Keep thinking for me! I am too and coming up with zilch....

  • What about some nostalgic gifts; stuff he liked when you guys were growing up. Some 80?s related items ? candy, movies, etc.

     

    I saw this when googling b-day gifts for 40 http://www.candydirect.com/candy-types/novelty-candy/all-novelty-candy/70s-candy-box-1-box-assorted

     

    There is a cool candy shop in Rockford.

     

    Is there another sib you could go in on a gift with? You could always give him 40 one dollar bills and tell him it is for a ?fun night out? wink wink..and then tell him you will babysit so he and his wife can go out to dinner.

    We have a great candy store here in Holland, so I am going to have to take a trip there to get inspired.  Thanks for the idea!
