40th Birthday Gag Gifts
At age 20, we worry about what others think of us. At 40, we don't care what they think of us. At 60, we discover they haven't been thinking of us at all. Ann Landers

Exploding Pen
This ordinary pen can be one of the best options of gag gifts for a 40th birthday. Just keep in mind that the lady whom you are giving this gift doesn't have a weak heart and also doesn't have a bad temper. The pen explodes the moment someone takes off its lid. This can be great fun, as you can imagine the woman's facial expression after she takes off the lid and instead of an ordinary writing pen, she gets an explosion.
Rubber Chocolates
These chocolates never melt in your mouth. They are made of rubber and they taste exactly like regular chocolates. You can gift this to the birthday girl who loves chocolates and has a sweet tooth.
Jack in the Box
Gift this to someone who has a strong heart. It looks like an ordinary plastic box, but when you open, it is a laughing joker's head or skull that pops out with scary sounds. It's a hilarious sight to see the expression on the lady's face, when she opens an innocent looking gift box expecting something nice and only to find out a dancing skeleton with shining eyes and dangerous sound effects.
