The experience gift ideas are infinite, but below you have a short list, with 9 of the most suitable gift ideas for men on the occasion of their 40th birthday, which will make this age even more special!

1. Skydiving

Skydiving is the ultimate challenge for adrenaline junkies. There is nothing more impressive than jumping into the void and falling freely at speeds of up to 53 meters per second.

Buy your life partner, brother or best friend who turns 40 a voucher for a parachute jump and thus give him the chance to brag in front of his friends and everyone he will meet in the years to come will follow.
Beyond the unique dose of adrenaline, skydiving also brings with it incredible views, which you could not experience otherwise.

You can choose locations for skydiving in Romania - in Cluj, Sibiu, Bucharest or Skydiving at sea , in Constanta - but also outside the country, especially if we think of the superb locations in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil or the USA, which you don't have how not to fall in love. So, if you have chosen a special destination for your 40th anniversary, take advantage of the opportunity and double the pleasure of the trip with a skydiving experience in a superb location.

Mark his 40th anniversary forever by helping him tick this special experience off his list of activities he's set out to experience this year. And if you are also passionate about adrenaline, you can accompany him in this experience.

2. Diving and snorkeling

Diving and snorkeling can be a remarkable gift idea for the 40th birthday of a dear man in your life.
Diving experiences offer a captivating journey into the extremely interesting world that lies beyond the surface of the sea and that pulsates with exotic species of fish, colorful aquatic vegetation and other aquatic life that you can explore and look at until you are satisfied.
Snorkeling gives you the chance to get close to beautiful sea creatures such as sea turtles, but also to fascinating wrecks sunk and forgotten on the seabed.
If your friend or partner loves the water, then choose the perfect gift for their 40th birthday, with a snorkeling or diving experience.

3. Beer tastings or a visit to a brewery

For guys who prefer a little less adventure to mark their 40th birthday, a tour of a brewery can be the perfect gift. If your 40-year-old friend is a beer drinker and even passionate about beer (the French and English would call him "zythophile"), these tours represent a unique perspective on the unique techniques and processes in all the breweries in the world. And of course, no brewery tour would be complete without including some delicious samples!

Another option can be a beer tour in a lesser-known city, which will give you new information about how other cultures enjoy and produce their favorite beers.
You can opt for such tours in Hungary, Belgium, Germany, and at the other end of the world even in Mexico and Australia. Anywhere in the world you can order another line of beer for his 40th birthday!

4. Vineyard tour

If you're trying to find the perfect gift for a renowned wine connoisseur, ditch the beer and introduce him to the wonderful world of vineyards and gorgeous landscapes. As for the 40th anniversary gift, what could be more beautiful and thoughtful than a personalized tour in a famous vineyard?

These scenic tours not only provide ample and detailed information about all the processes involved in the production of the finest wines, but also represent the perfect opportunity for a relaxing outing with family and friends.
And most importantly, your boyfriend or another dear man in your life will have the opportunity to enjoy some world-class local wines, after learning everything he needs to know about them.

An easier choice would be a wine tasting evening, which will give participants the chance to drink in an intimate setting wonderful varieties of wines from all over the world, at a more affordable price.

5. Escalation

Give a loved one the gift of nature, wilderness and breathtaking heights on their 40th birthday! Climbing is a thrilling combination of sport and adrenaline. Organize a climbing day for your loved one on imposing ridges, with nothing but your hands and feet.
There is no more pleasant feeling than reaching 40 years old by conquering new heights, which you would not have thought of climbing otherwise.

6. I fly by helicopter

Helicopter flights are a perfect 40th birthday gift that will leave your life partner, brother or dear friend speechless. Order him a voucher for a spectacular aerial tour, in wonderful local landscapes that he will see from above - the perfect way to introduce him to a place still unexplored.

Whether it's a helicopter flight at home, in Romania - to Sibiu, Brasov or Cazanele Dunarii - or whether you opt for a helicopter flight on vacation in a country you haven't discovered yet, you can find a lot of impressive options for helicopter flights, for which many will envy him. There is no better gift than a helicopter tour!

7. Hours of surfing

France is the perfect place for surfing in Europe, especially if we think of Biarritz but also of other surfing destinations that line the coast of this country on the Atlantic Ocean. If your husband or boyfriend loves surfing and wants to learn to float on the waves and enjoy the adrenaline, this is definitely the perfect destination. Choose to celebrate his 40th birthday in France, and give him a surfing experience as a gift, to explore this sport at his own pace, whether he wants to start from scratch or is ready for a more serious action in force.

Surfing courses also offer experienced surfers the chance to perfect their skills in new environments. It is a sport that requires a lot of energy and can be difficult to master, but the feeling that you manage to float on the waves in beautiful locations in Europe, or even across the ocean, in Byron Bay or New Zealand, makes every effort worth it.

8. Hiking

Hiking is a perfect excuse to take your loved one out of the hustle and bustle of everyday life and to accompany them in exploring completely new landscapes and places.
