family get awy like on a houseboat, or river dinner cruise. Meet up with family and friends at a winery

A nice quiet family dinner at home or at a friends. Order a meal in to give yourself a chance to relax too

For my husbands 30th im going to throw him a big surprise party. I think he deserves it after all the hard work he does for us.

For my 40th it was a romantic dinner for myself and my husband. It was lovely and I didn’t want a party or a fuss.

For my Hubby I organised a romantic night in the city. We had dinner, night out and five star accommodation (without the kids).

Cool! Its very interesting reading the comments on this!

A surprise party or dinner with family and friends.

Surprise party!

I don’t like to celebrate my birthdays either. Will he feel uncomfortable if you do organise something for him? If I had to celebrate my birthday it would be just a quiet night at home with hubby and daughter, nice dinner and a DVD.

go with what he likes: fishing, winery, brewery, camping trip etc

Hogs breath or somewhere in that catagory fits best! It gets harder as you get older to think of places

Depending on where you live, a couple of nights away together would be wonderful for both of you. I went to an old cottage in the Clare Valley Winery region in South Australia for my 40th. We stayed in a cottage smack in the middle of vineyards, roaring log fire every day, out checking out a few wineries, dinner at a local restaurant, and it was brilliant. If he’s a wine-lover, investigate what’s available not far from you.

I’m a 43 yr old male who is not that sociable. If he has a favourite cuisine perhaps cook something or home deliver, stay in, watch a movie you both love, keep it simple!

maybe something at home with the family

A surprise family picnic with all his favourite foods,and invite his family and friends.
Do I to a weekend at a national park with shelter area In in case of bad weather.

I f he doesn’t like all the fuss maybe just do a family bbq at home with a few of his close friends to.

If you want to celebrate with family and friends a dinner at a nice restaurant would be great. If he prefers even less fuss, how about a weekend away for the two of you.

For my brothers 40th we all went to Fiji. Kids had a great time and so did we. There were 28 adults and all the kids. Great holiday. Every night the kids went to kids club and we could have dinner uninterrupted for 3 hours!! Fabulous!

Organise for him and a group of family and friends to go paintballing if he’s into that.

Excellent ideas here
