Cakes
Cakes are an inevitable part of any birthday party. These days, personalized and customized cakes are available with all the bakeries and you can get a cake of any desired shape and size that relates to the number 40.
Say if the birthday woman loves dressing up with the latest trend in fashion, then you can get a cake with a fashion model over it and have words on it like, "The Fashion Diva Turns 40". Or else you can get a simple and elegant cake that is decorated with flowers and ribbons and light it with 40 candles.
Gifts
A birthday gift need not necessarily be a new dress or a gift certificate to a spa, you can even present your dear wife or mom with a simple yet touching gift. To make her day more special, why not cook a breakfast for her? This will surely take her breath away.
The 40th birthday gift can also be chosen, depending upon the lifestyle and profession of the birthday girl. For example, if she is a working woman, you can gift her smart formal wear, or if she is a housewife, you can gift her a nice cookware set.
Decorations
The decorations should be splendid and match up to the occasion. You can think of having a birthday party theme or rent some special venue for the occasion. You can have a "Ladies Only Party" or a simple kitty party.
If you stay near a shore, why not have a beach party? Never mind if beach parties are popular among youngsters, even adults can have a great time partying along the beach. Or else if you have a pool in your house, simply arrange a pool party.
These were some easy to implement ideas. So, use them or try to come up with innovative ideas and show her the time of her life.
