40th Birthday Ideas, Birthday party Ideas

I have a girl friend who is turning 40 Jan 26th and I have no idea what to do for her birthday. She has no hobbies, no outside interest. All she ever does is go to work and go home every day. I'm at a loss at what to do for her birthday. Can you guys and girls give me some ideas what to do for someone who has no hobbies. I'm stumped! Hellllllllp!

Easy, Black Balloons and a Casket.

Get them every time.

Why not have a" ten things to do before you are forty" day out . Just silly, nonsense things that give you a giggle.

Write a fúnny poem about getting old and the things you will need. Of course you'll have a basket with all such funny things inside (like tablets for the 3rd row of perly whites, babyfood if she lost her dentals etc)

Good Idea Aon. Wish I had a friend in the funeral business so I could borrow one.
I'm trying to figure out do I just take her out for lunch or do a little party at my house. Not sure I have the time right now but trying to see if I could.

Most people don't want a 40th birthday party or whatever. especially females. What I have done in the past is take someone out, but never mention the occasion unless they do. And for G-d sakes don't go to one of those places where the staff comes over and sings Happy Birthday. Some people don't mind turning 40 and some see it as the beginning of the end. peckery

I second Peckery's suggestion. Personally, I do'nt think that milestones like forty are a death sentence, rasther a opportunity to prove how young you . really are.

I didn't like 40.

If you like her, just treat is as an other birthday with a nice cake. If you don't then the casket......

Or.... You could give her a basket representing all the things that are better after 40! Now, if I could figure out what those are.

Hey Sis, I'm sitting here trying to think of something good after 40. But since I'm not really that old it's near impossible to do.
This girl is one of my very best friends. She stayed with me for the last operation. Now that's a good friend. I told her to cut off all of my hair that it was in my way. Good things she's a real friend I could have sobered up and found myself bald.

Then give her a party full of all the nicest things. I never liked the black balloon and vultures - in your face - you're old now stuff.

Flowers are always nice, especially in January. You could make it like a garden party. Something a January birthday probably has never had. Flowers on the cake, on the paper products, have everyone bring their nicest house plants (unless they're like me and can't grow them) string silk flower garlands from the chandelier, make a wide brimmed flower covered hats, drink tea and eat finger sandwiches.

Or get a pizza and a tub'o'wings and a few brewskies and watch WWF on TV. Whatever is her style.

Do her a favor and hire a male stripper. I'm sure that will get her attention.

She can't do that!

Then she'd have to invite the rest of us.
