List of 40th Birthday Gifts for Men

1. The 40th Birthday Game

Buy or Read More on Amazon Here ($7.99 at the time of publication)

It’s like a Jeopardy! category where either the question or the answer has the number 40 in it. For instance, do you know who the 40th U.S. president was? What is 40 squared? What movie role did Arnold Schwarzenegger have when he was 40? There are 70 printed cards, each with two questions for a total of 140. The answers are multiple choice, which gives you at least a chance of getting it right by accident, but at the same time it negates the possibilities of hilarious off the cuff answers. Shipping isn’t exactly speedy (about two weeks) so allow plenty of time for delivery.

2. Air Fryer Oilless Cooker

The Ultrean cooks, grills, roasts and bakes food in mid-air, so to speak, using its “rapid air technology.” Set cook time and temperature and walk away. It’s that easy. An LCD screen helps keep you updated so that you feel as if you had something to do with the outcome. And when the show’s over, it cleans up really easy. Choose from four bold colors and get ready to cook!

Buy or Read More on Amazon Here ($6.89 at the time of publication)

Sometimes it’s flip, sometimes it’s caustic and sometimes (most of the time, maybe?) it’s right on target.

25. Fruit Infuser Water Bottle

Buy or Read More on Amazon Here ($19.97 at the time of publication)

A walk down a certain grocery store is all it takes to convince you that adding flavors to water is big business. From sparkling lime, peach, pomegranate, strawberry, cherry, black cherry, grape, lemon and so on, there is no shortage of tasty flavors to peruse. But they all have a price tag and most of them have nearly as much sugar as a soda pop. This fruit infuser comes along to provide common sense to the madness.

The bottle is leakproof and shatterproof.

It doesn’t seem right, calling the 1980s vintage, but that’s what they are. It’s ancient history. This ballcap represents a collision of two styles, including the perky, colorful look of 1980s and the faded gray of, well, years way before then. You can choose between black, which is really more of a charcoal gray with streaks and specks, and maroon. The text does not have to say 1980. You tell them the year and they’ll put it on there. The material is super comfortable 100% cotton twill with a sizing strap in the back held in place by an antique brass clasp. Shipping is free and takes under a week for delivery.

34. Retro Victrola AM-FM Radio

Buy or Read More on Amazon Here ($34.88 at the time of publication)

“Put some rock & roll on the old Victrola. I need a blood transfusion and a Coca-Cola.” That may be the sentiment of the 40th birthday person, and a good reason to buy him or her this radio.

35. Retro Handset for Cell Phones

Buy or Read More on Amazon Here ($13.99 at the time of publication)

1980 is calling. It wants its dial tone back. This is a retro item that actually has more to it than the mere fact that it’s retro. It plugs into the headphone jack (for cell phones that still have them) and takes over the ins and outs of the phone call. It’s infinitely easier to handle, and it puts the earpiece where it belongs and the mouthpiece where it belongs. Pick from five cool colors. If you have an iPhone 7 or newer, you’ll have to purchase a lightning to 3.5 mm adapter before you can use it.

If only this book could be standard issue to all men upon their 40th birthday!

37. Birthday Key Chain

Buy or Read More on Amazon Here ($10.99 at the time of publication)

The inscription on this pretty chrome keychain reads, “Life is a book, and your forties are the chapters when it all starts making sense.” If it’s written on a keychain, then it has to be true, right? The inscription is on a shiny medallion about the size of a silver dollar, and the product literature is quick to point out that there are no sharp edges to hurt you. We’re not sure that was ever an issue, but this is good to know. In addition to the medallion, there is a charm in the shape of a 40. Truthfully, this is one of those gifts where it’s hard to go wrong.

38. Suitcase Turntable With Bluetooth and USB

It’s part of aging, weight gain, loss of flexibility, loss of balance, etc. So, along come this handy dandy tool that telescopes up to 22 inches to allow you to pick up that dropped screw, or nail, or metal piece. If it responds to a magnet, this bad boy will pick it up. And if you have trouble seeing what you’re looking for, there’s a bright LED, three position light at the end of the rod.

40. Wood Phone Docking Station Organizer

Buy or Read More on Amazon Here ($48.80 at the time of publication)

This handy organizer is cut above so many others that do the same thing because it does not occupy as much table space, yet it can hold as much stuff because of its three tier approach. It has a shelf for a cell phone, places for glasses, watches, spare change and keychains and even a little hideaway place for a wallet. It’s well-crafted from very fine hand oiled wood and should be appreciated by the giftee.

41. Emergency Survival Kit

Buy or Read More on Amazon Here ($28.99 at the time of publication)

So if your 40th birthday person wants a homemade version of an Egg McMuffin, they can stay in their pajamas (even though people go through McDonald’s in their PJs all the time).

43. Twenty Piece Grill Accessories Kit

Buy or Read More on Amazon Here ($27.99 at the time of publication)

This keepsake box is a testimony to friendship, the special kind that only girls understand. The box is only three inches square, so it’s not going to hold a whole lot, but then again, it doesn’t need to. Hand painted resin girls stand out in relief on the top of the box, apparently having a discussion no one but them is privy to hear. You don’t have to wait until your friend turns 40 to give this, but if it’s that time anyway, then here you go.

The string of 20 LED lights can be programmed to a shape of your choosing, and there are two light modes. The lights operate in USB power mode (5 volts DC).

The handle is painted gold and a stirring spoon is included, itself very ornately decorated. It’s all very understated and delicate and probably not suitable for the dishwasher.

Despite the photo, fire is not included. So, no, the Jormatt people are not promoting a trend of giving someone the hot foot. But they do hope to launch a trend of giving someone the warm foot. These uber comfy plush socks are insulated against extreme cold, and the product literature boasts that they are three times warmer than 100% cotton socks, formerly considered to be the warmest material. Well, the jury may still be out on that, but these 93% acrylic socks are definitely warm and definitely comfortable, and will make a bid for being the favorite socks in the sock drawer. They come in medium for men’s sizes 6-9 and large for shoe sizes 9-12. Women wearing shoe sizes 7-10 can order the men’s medium and get a good fit. They come two pairs per package.

That tick, tick, tick, tick sound means the biscuits will be done in 11 minutes, according to the timer featured on this whimsical retro wall clock. The best thing that can be said in describing this item is in what you don’t get. You don’t get a digital readout. You don’t get a cell phone interface. You don’t get a USB charging port.

79. Camera Lamp

Buy or Read More on Etsy Here ($114.75 at the time of publication)

The difference is the playback resolution is at bare minimum on the rear-facing monitor (although after transfer to an editing system, it’s quite good). It’s also bereft of a lot of bells and whistles that you would find on a more expensive camera, but for a 4K, waterproof (with housing) pocket-sized fun camera, wow!
