    If you're single, take a trip somewhere exotic with a couple of girlfriends and enjoy the "Scenery"! ;)

    I played hookey from work, spent the day with my wife, saw a movie, went out to lunch, and enjoyed the sunshine.

    If you're into something adventurous- bungee jumping, zorbing,parasailing, take a ride in a stunt plane/race car etc

    For something less scary, get a nice professional picture taken, swim with dolphins, get a makeover, hire out a limo and be fancy all over town

    Experience voucher websites are good for this kind of thing

    Try doing something you've always wanted to do, go on a vacation to a place you've always wanted to go to.

    when I turn 40 I already told hubby to save his pennies because I do not want a party but a few days at an all exclusive resort either on Antigua or St. Lucia.

    I, along with a couple of her friends, put together a surprise party for my wife's 50th Bday. It was a simple evening with about 40 guests for dinner and drinks at a nice restaurant... Nothing too extravagant. All guests paid for their own dinner. I bought several bottles of wine for everyone to share. We still talk about how much fun that evening was... Obviously, you can't surprise yourself. But a simple evening can make some great memories... Happy Bday!!!!

    i turn 40 in January. I don't know that I'll do anything commemorative or special, but I am interested in answers to see if anything sparks my interest.

    On my 40th (20 years ago) I threw a huge BBQ. Almost 100 people showed up. Had 4 BBQ's going, 6 Blenders going (Margaritas dedicated to 3 of them). When it came time for presents, I gave my wife a 2 carat diamond tennis bracelet. She wasn't expecting a gift on MY birthday. It was the best surprise ever.

    I would love to see the whole world before I die. So I say go somewhere you have never been before. Just make it someplace safe and have a ball.

    I'm assuming your birthday is February 5th, if my math is right? I'd go on a singles cruise. Close to Valentines Day, so I know they offer quite a bit of them on the Princess Cruise lines.
