Get the Full StoryTurning 40 is the type of milestone that calls for a memorable celebration and an indulgent gift to match. While we can't help with the party planning, shopping is our expertise. If you have a friend, partner, or family member whose 40th birthday is approaching, we have a list of gift options guaranteed not to disappoint. Whether they're a beauty fanatic, wellness enthusiast, homebody, or fashion lover, we've rounded up our favorite gift ideas in every category.

Our own editors have vetted most of these options, with others being a mix of brand bestsellers and celebrity must-haves. Best of all, you can even snag something special on a smaller budget, like fingerless cashmere gloves or a Charlotte Tilbury lip gloss. If you're looking to splurge, we have you covered on that end as well. We've included an LED mask that our editor insists is worth every penny, and pajamas so soft they made it onto Oprah's Favorite Things list . . . twice. Chances are, you probably have some of these on your own wish list, and we wouldn't blame you for adding something to the cart for yourself as well. Keep reading to discover our favorite gift recommendations for the soon-to-be 40-year-old in your life.
