* A tile box for jewelry, the lid featuring his favorite photo
* A tee-shirt, sweatshirt, or other clothing personalized just for him with a slogan, photo, or joke

You can create a unique birthday card there, too, and show him you cared enough to put yourself into it.

These male, 40th birthday unique gifts can be assembled at home, buying what you need at appropriate stores.

1. For a chef: a deep basket of gourmet cooking supplies, or spices and mixes he loves, with a personalized apron (see CafePress)

2. For a gardener: a shallow basket with handle, filled with garden gloves, hand cream, sun block, special seeds, and a long-sleeved shirt personalized to fit the theme

3. For a wine lover: a bottle of wine, a new corkscrew, and a few shares in a foreign wine vineyard.

4. For a fun-loving man: a colorful kite for the still-vibrant boy in him, along with lines, handles – and an instruction book so he can get it flying high.

Spotlight Him

Of all the unique gifts for his 40th birthday, a scrapbook made by you is probably the most unmatchable. If you don’t want to, or can’t afford time or money to make a conventional scrapbook, make a digital scrapbook, and burn it to a CD for him.

Again, the very best birthday gifts for him are those in which you give yourself. Think of him, and make the unique gift all about him.
