Best Sisters 40th Birthday Gift Ideas
1. Birthday Card
No matter which gifts you get your sister, make sure you add a birthday card.
Write a sweet note to her. Maybe add in what you admire most or a funny inside joke.
She is going to love it.
2. Flowers
Send her flowers!
Check out the local flower shop to get them delivered or hit up a grocery store to save some money and deliver them yourself.
3. Chocolates
Women love chocolate! And in my experience, they love dark chocolate.
You can’t go wrong with Lindor Dark Chocolate Truffles.
They are some of my favorites too, yum!
4. Jewelry
Every birthday is special but her 40th is a big one.
Make it extra fantastic with jewelry.
Shane Co. has an amazing selection in a wide price range and they ship everywhere.
5. Candle
Last year, my good friend gave me this candle for my birthday (I am 38) and I am obsessed.
So obsessed in fact that I went out and bought a few extra.
The scent stays to the very end.
6. Gift Card
Let her get her pamper on with a gift card to a spa, if you know she will love it. Some people don’t.
I love it though.
7. Water Bottle
There are a few amazing water bottles these days that every woman would love to have or have another one of.
Of course, you know I am talking about the Hydro Flask water bottle and the Stanley Quencher.
Who knew water bottles could look so pretty?
8. French Press
If your sister is a coffee drinker and doesn’t have a French press, you should get her one!
Wow, coffee tastes so delicious when made with a French press.
This one cleans up so easily. It can all go in the dishwasher if she wants.
9. Coffee
You can get her favorite coffee to go with that French press.
If you don't know it, and I know people can get picky about this, but if you don't know her favorite coffee, then you can try out mine – Starbucks Espresso Dark Roast.
10. Tea
If instead, your sister is a tea drinker, like my oldest sister is, get her favorite tea.
11. Yeti Tumbler
To finish off her coffee-themed gift, toss in a Yeti Tumbler.
It will keep her coffee hot to the very last drop.
12. Wine
My aunt introduced me to this electric wine bottle opener and I love it. I loved it so much that I gifted it to my good friend on her birthday.
Pair it with a bottle of wine. Choose a fun bottle for her to try. Also, she will love drinking out of this wine cup.
13. Can Cooler
My oldest sister introduced me to this dynamite slim can cooler and gave a regular can cooler to my second oldest sister for her 40th birthday.
Girl, my oldest sister lives in Kansas and when I last visited her it was 110°F. Our drinks stayed cold until we finished them.
14. Margarita Machine
I have 7 siblings and we will gladly enjoy a margarita or two together. Hands down, the best margaritas come from the Margaritaville Margarita Machine.
Girl, since this is a more expensive gift, only give it if your sister is nuts for margaritas.
15. Lip Balm
I know it costs a bit more however whew, it lasts forever and is worth every penny!
It can double as a hydrating lip gloss as well.
16. Makeup
Is your sister a makeup lover? Restock her favorites!
I mostly stick to a no-makeup – makeup look and these are my favorites (in case you need some inspiration).
17. Bath Bombs and Shower Steamers
Your sister will be able to relax all her stress away with these bath bombs.
However, if she is more of a shower kind of gal then shower steamers are a better option.
They make your bathroom smell amazing.
18. Sugar Bath Scrub
Everyone needs a fantastic sugar body scrub to exfoliate with and this one does not disappoint.
Tree Hut nailed it. My favorite scent is the Coco Colada, and I smelled them all.
19. Hair Mask
No doubt about it, Briogeo Don’t Despair Repair Hair Mask is what every woman needs for her hair.
Wow, just after 1 use your sister will notice a difference.
20. Hair Towels
Pair that hair mask with a hair towel. These are so great for removing excess moisture while keeping the frizz at bay.
I have curly hair, so I know all about the frizz problem!
21. Hair Accessories
If your sister has long enough hair, get her some hair binders or claw clips.
I love these binders since they won't damage her hair or leave dents in it.
22. Lotion
As women get older, skin hydration is so important. I have been using the fragrance-free Aveeno lotion for years and it keeps my skin looking fabulous.
If you know of a better fragrance-free lotion that I should try, let me know in the comments below.
23. Perfume
Ooh-la-la, perfume. Saying it just makes me feel fancy.
Valentino – Donna Born in Roma and Dior – Miss Dior are both light and feminine and smell heavenly.
24. Nail Polish
Does she love to do her nails at home like I do? Honestly, I have no time to run and get my nails done since I am trying to keep up with 4 kids.
Essie Nail Polish is a rockstar polish.
I love a classic red. And the top coat is so important for keeping her nails looking great as long as possible.
25. Travel Mirror
Whether she is a heavy traveler or not, your sister needs this travel mirror and you do too.
It is so slim and flips open so the cover is the stand.
This mirror is one of those items I didn’t know was a must-have until I got it.
26. Tickets
Get your sister tickets to a fun event. They could be to the theater, a concert, a sporting event, or whatever she is into.
But get one for you and one for her. There is no greater gift than the gift of time together.
27. Digital Picture Frame
She is going to instantly fall in love with this digital picture frame. Your sister can send pictures to it directly from her phone.
I keep ours in the kitchen and everyone takes turns stopping to see the pictures on it.
This is something you are going to want too!
28. Kindle
Without a doubt, the Kindle is the most used gift I have ever received (even if it was from myself😊).
If she doesn’t have one, she needs one and will use it all the time.
It is the reason I am such a reader now.
29. Cozy Socks
These cozy socks are wonderful and warm.
I got these for my sister and she told me she loves to use them when working from home.
30. Sherpa Fleece Blanket
She can snuggle up after a long day with a cozy blanket.
What is your favorite show right now? Let me know in the comments below.
31. Scarf
This scarf is soft and elegant, and it will keep her warm.
We live where it gets cold so having a few fancy scarfs to choose from is a must.
32. Hat
And to help stay extra warm, this winter hat is where it is at.
It blocks the wind, keeps you nice and warm, and it is stylish.
33. Personalized Stationery
My daughter gave this personalized stationery to a friend for her birthday and we both fell in love with it.
I know your sister is going to love it too. A little something extra to make her feel fancy.
