Forty Things To Do Before you are 40 is a thoughtful birthday gift for anyone approaching – but not quite – 40, whatever their gender, likes and hobbies.

The cute black gift box contains 40 sealed cards, 36 of them have a surprise activity inside that the recipient can do alone, with friends, or family. There is a mix of activities that might be a night at home with friends, a night out with a loved one or a day trip to somewhere new.

Each suggestion will inspire the recipient to try something new, go to a place they’ve never visited before, and to make a whole bunch of new memories. The cards can be interpreted to suit the recipient.

As well as the pre printed cards, we’ve included four blank cards for the recipient to add a bucket list idea or perhaps something you’ve planned as a surprise, includes a leaflet explaining how to use the box.

Record the memories

To keep the memories that are made safe we’ve created a journal which is perfect to hold the card and any photos, tickets or receipts to be looked back over or shared with others. The journal has 40 double pages to save all the cards with space to write any notes, the ring bound book is printed in silver on the front.

Environment

We aim to produce gifts that are 100% recyclable, and we encourage all those enjoying opening envelopes to recycle them after they’ve completed their activities.

Our boxes are 100% recyclable, and are constructed from ‘greyboard’ which is made from a mix of recycled and waste paper. The outer wrap paper is also recyclable.

Where possible the paper we use for our card and envelopes is sourced from FSC certified suppliers.
