At hampers.com, we have a great range of 40th birthday hamper ideas for her and for him. There’s something for everyone, with hampers based around a huge range of food and drink favourites.
Check out our three top 40th birthday picks for him and for her below…
40th birthday hampers 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 Glass and Stones Gift Set
The Whisky Glass and 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.
