The best 40th birthday gift! 40 Reasons We {Love} You is the perfect gift for the person who has everything. 

Turning 40 years old or celebrating a 40th anniversary is an amazing milestone. It is something to celebrate and it deserves the perfect gift.

When it comes to gift giving, getting the right gift can feel like a challenge. What do they want? What do they need? Chances are, they could probably get it for themselves. So, what kind of gift can you get?

I’ve been there! And I know exactly how you feel. When my mom turned 60 years old, I knew I needed the perfect gift. I couldn’t give her just anything – it needed to be special. It needed to be a unique, once in a lifetime kind of gift. That was the kind of gift she deserved. But what could I get her?

All that came to mind were the fun times we’ve spent together. From travelling to shopping and even wearing matching outfits, there were so many memories. The more memories I thought of, the clearer the gift became.

I would give a gift filled with all the reasons we love about my mom. The gift would be from me, my daughter, and husband. It would be filled with 60 reasons we love her – one memory (or reason) for each of her 60 years. (You can read all about the gift, 60 Things We {Love} About You.)

MAKING THIS GIFT WAS SINCERELY A JOY, BUT GIVING IT WAS EVEN BETTER.

On the day of her birthday, with the framed gift resting on her lap, I watched as my mom read every word aloud. She laughed at the funny memories and teared up at the sentimental ones. She probably read through the whole thing at least five times before proudly displaying it on the wall. And it is still there, on her wall, all these years later. To this day, it is still the best gift she ever received.

This is a wonderful gift for anyone you love. Gave this to my sister for her 60th birthday last night and she said it’s one of the most special gifts she ever received. Very emotional. We have a joke in our family about ‘taking this with me’ – she has decided this is going with her 🙂 It was a nice family project, too. Everyone got to contribute their special memories. It looked beautiful in the matted, wood frame we purchased.” (Paula)
