40Th Birthday Gift Ideas - Omaha,NE

Do you have enough photos to make a little friendship album?

Paint a friendship dish or mug.

Vera Bradley has some lovely feminine things at every price point.

Swarovski Crystals have many cute little figurines starting under $50 and one might seem right.

Wish we knew more about her.

I like to get items that have been personalized like a robe, a cosmetic travel bag, a tote. Beautiful linens, that are monogrammed.

Or I love giving a really generous gift card to a super nice place for dinner. So they can get dressed up and go out.

I like to send gourmet baskets, maybe speak with her husband about taking her on a romantic picnic when the basket arrives.

Or a special piece of jewelry, James Avery has special pieces.

Maybe pay for a night or 2 at a Bed and Breakfast. Send it on a gift card.

I am sure you will come up with something amazing.

Send her a nice Coach cross body bag....oh wait..that's what I want for my 40th birthday!
She will appreciate anything you give her..and what a fun surprise to get it shipped. Everybody loves packages! Right?

Is there any way you can go???? Your presence would be the best gift of all!!!!

When I turned 40 my sister wrote me a note that said "40 reasons I love my sister", and then she listed a bunch of sweet things that are special to her about me. It was so sweet and thoughtful.

You could also make her a photo book of the two of you through the years. You can scan in photos and then use iPhoto to make a book. They turn out really cute.

I second Laurie's idea of something personalized. I also have a monogrammed pocket mirror that my (very thoughtful) sister gave me.
