This process causes some men to go into a bit of a speed wobble and start their mid life crisis early!
Fear not help is at hand! Instead of going out and buying him a fast car to help support the illusion thath is youth is not slipping away and he’s an 18 year old in 40 year olds body. He might even revert to doing all the things he tried to do when he was 18, again.
So does he like football or sport?
Being a supporter or member of a team is a great way for a man to feel connected to something. The caveman instinct of being part of a clan can help tremendously through these challenging times and allow them to fly past with enjoyment instead of trepidation.
So if he is a supporter of a team, then bolster his union with the team by purchasing tickets for a big match or event, supporters gear or equipment for the sport. If he likes football and its World Cup time then see if you can coordinate a holiday away with tickets to the cup final, if he likes golf can you arrange a sporting holiday or tickets to the Ryder cup?
If he likes motor racing then can you get a weekend away to the Grand Prix in Monaco next May for example, or the Australian Grand Prix in March if you fancy taking him further afield for a longer break.
In my experience the 40th Birthday over an above all the other significant birthdays is the one that the most people will make the most effort for. If you are arranging a party for him then you should be assured of a great turn out, have you thought about making it a surprise party? That in itself is a great gift idea for a 40th birthday presents men will remember for a long time to come.
