A few special songs remind people of significant moments in their past. Celebrate your 40th birthday by purchasing 40 music CDs: one recorded in each year leading up to your 40th birthday. Your CD collection can include your favorite albums from each year, or the albums that produced No. 1 Billboard hit singles every year. - Find newspaper headlines from the year you were born.archive image by Victor M. from Fotolia.com
Whether you are a history buff or just interested in what was happening during your birth year, some merchants specialize in personalized birthday gifts. Offerings include archived "LIFE" magazine copies from your birth week, available from 1940 to the present day; and framed, custom reproductions of "The New York Times" front page, from September 1851 to the present. - Enjoy over-the-hill gag gifts.Over the Hill image by Kathy D from Fotolia.com
Of course, there are a plethora of gag gifts for people who are turning 40. Embrace the humor behind the "Over The Hill" T-shirts and candy pills that declare they can help improve memory or libido. And, if a friend sends you a subscription to a large-print book club, enjoy the new literature. - A day at the spa will relieve tension.getting a facial image by Kelly Kane from Fotolia.com
Whether you need some time alone to rewind or want to spend some down time with a group of friends, a special day of relaxation is always a fun birthday gift. Treating yourself to a massage, a full day at the spa or a round of golf will provide relief from the stress of daily life.
