I always think Champers is a bit tacky. A nice bottle of wine or port would do me.

A large gold plated sovereign ring is always welcome at this time of life.

Blow-up carrot! My Dad got one for his 40th, don't know who from though!

Would a bloke not prefer a decent whisky? Champagne reminds me of when I used to drink Pulse when I was a student.

If he has a taste for whisky that is. I don't like it, yes I know I am Scottish! I love proper Champagne, when I was younger I didn't but I developed a taste for it when I was in sixth year at school.

A nice bottle of Champagne will suffice IMO.

Dizz...............if he's a mate he doesn't need anything therefore anything would be appreciated...how long have you got before??

The best present I got for my 40th was a frame with things in it that summariesed my life as they knew it....photos, crushed Tango can, folded dollar bill, cloth swatches, car keys...

My 40th was a few years ago now. Champagne - good if he likes it (I don't much) but I think it's something for an "event" - i.e. big show of opening, bit of a speech, everyone has a glass - all gone. Whisky is more of a personal thing that can be enjoyed for longer and to himself (more than champagne anyway). Does he like any cocktails? How about a "kit" to make his fave, couple of bottles + bits and bobs.

Champagne makes some people fart. I should know, I'm one of them.

How about... an obscure bottle of premium vodka:

(Gerry's, Old Compton Street will have something)

and a nice card?

My 40th was spent in the back of a wrecked hirecar in the carpark of a cathouse in Antigua with 2 bulletholes in the backdoor. I remember nothing other than a cute bird with no panties and lashings of Rum.

Zimmer frame ...

When I turn 40, champagne will definitely be acceptable.
