40th birthday gift ideas for him
If you are looking for the perfect 40th birthday gift for your friend, son, partner or husband, then let us inspire you with the small selection of hampers below.
And what better place to start than with their favourite tipple or special sweet treat?
Whisky, Glasses and Whisky Stones Gift Set
The Whisky, Glasses and Whisky Stones Gift Set offers a wonderful 40th birthday keepsake gift.
Alongside a 20cl bottle of The Balvenie Double Wood 12-year single malt whisky, your special recipient will receive a set of glass tumblers and granite whisky stones, in a magnificent wood case. The stones can be placed in the freezer and used to cool the whisky, without diluting it, unlike normal ice cubes. This makes for a fabulous gift to be enjoyed for years to come.
For the whiskey lover in your life, offer them a ‘whiskey on the rocks’ on their 40th that they will never forget.
Gentlemen's Tea Hamper
For the beer lover who also rather enjoys a ploughman’s lunch or an afternoon tea, we have the ideal 40th birthday gift.
Our Gentlemen’s Tea Hamper offers three bottles of real ale from the award-winning Loose Cannon Brewery, as well as mature cheddar cheese, caramelised onion marmalade, a pork rillette, crackers, savoury snacks, chocolate and a rich fruit cake. Plus, there’s premium ground coffee, from Slumber Jack too.
This 40th gift has all of the components for the ultimate birthday feast.
