40 is when it all starts!

This party needs to make a real statement about who you are and what you are capable of doing.

The guest list does not have to be long, but include the people that matter most to you. They will enjoy your biggest party in 4 decades and a treat that will show them that you have style, creativity and money.

If on the other hand, you have the style, creativity and no money. dont force it and do not borrow money to throw a party.

Amongst the best ideas, you can now choose to have your party high above the city as there are many tall buildings with sky lounges and roof terraces. The views are amazing and this is much better than being in a club or a decorated marquee in your garden. If you are going to hire somewhere like the Burj Khalifa, Petronas Towers or BT Tower in London and need entertainment for your reception, my band will be delighted to receive your enquiry.

Your guests will also be thrilled when they receive an invitation to something extraordinary, instead of just visiting your house again. 40 is about feeling alive and switched on. Its about making others excited as they share in your success and ambitious ideas.

Thanks to Big Sand - steel band hire January 10, 2010

40 needs to be a landmark birthday that you have something to treasure and remember it by once the fizz has finished. My husband has had a fly rod made for him.

With women it can be tricky but a well-thought out gift that you know will suit her and that shell wear can be an excllent present.
As a former womens magazine writer, Ive put together a practical guide for men buying jewellery for women. It helps avoid common pitfalls and helps blokes choose something thatll fit and suit their womenfolk.
Im priviledged to have changed career and now create limited edition, handmade jewellery in my tiny studio near Bath.
Vogue said some nice things about my Sea Charm Necklace last year.
