Okay--don't do the blackberry---

At techy gift for a non-techy person that the techy person wants one of their own--I bust hubby every single time he does that LOL!

I like the gift basket idea--

Maybe stuff it with all of his favorite vacation-y stuff....and maybe have it delivered....

Does he have a PAL MIckey yet?

I know you mentioned the 40 of something as a gag gift. Just wanted to tell you that for my friends' 40th birthdays, I got them each (two of them) nice ceramic mugs and put 40 Dum Dum lollipops in each. I put them in plain white bags and wrote in large letters: "FORTY SUCKS!" Get it - 40 suck-ers?

Anyway, I also did it with my friend when we went to Las Vegas with him to celebrate his 30th birthday. I found a neat mug shaped like a club from a card deck and it also had on the other suits - hearts, diamonds and spades. I filled it with 30 suckers.

Best of luck. Anything you decide will be wonderful I am sure!!!

Have you heard of gifts of a lifetime (google it). I did this for my husband on his 40th birthday two years ago and it was so fun. Basically they set up a treasure hunt for DH through the Magic Kingdom complete with clues and participation from castmembers. It lasted about 3 hours and at the end he found the gift I had mailed to them earlier in the week. So, if you want an amazing lead up to the gift giving I highly reccommend Gifts of a Lifetime. I don't want to include too many details, they ask clients not to reveal the surprises, but I'll tell you all about it if you pm me. It sounds like you've planned an amazing birthday already. Another thing we did was stay at AKL in Concierge and we did the Sunset Safari. That was a great way to celebrate too. Very special. Have a great time!

I got a diamond on my 40th and I highly recommend them! Small, easy to carrry and conceal as well as stunning!! It IS his 40th!!! Whatever you do, have fun and make it romantic! How's he feeling about 40? Practical, edgy or excited?

Does he have a laptop computer? Even if he's not a tech-oriented guy, he would use it tons as a teacher. I would recommend a Mac for the non-tech person or maybe even a Sony.

For fun, 40 scratcher lottery tickets. Maybe he'll win the big bucks.
