My brother and SIL are both turning 40 this year and I would love to do something special/funny/creative for them, but I'm stumped. Anyone have any good ideas for a great gift or experience?

Are they doing anything special you can tie into? How much are you looking to spend?

@regberadaisy: they live in a different state, so I won't be able to participate in much. I'm willing to spend about $100 because we don't really celebrate other birthdays with them.

I always think a Fiesta theme is fun during warm weather: margaritas, pinata, bright decorations and food that's really easy to self-serve
Eta: Wait, just realized you wanted to spend under $100. How many people?

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I really like the cariature idea...do they have a favorite tv show? You can get them "redone" as those characters and printed on canvas.

@MamaBehr: I'm a fan of gift baskets. You could make a 'surviving 40' gift baskets, that's cute and creative.
Also, if there's a party set up a '40 reasons we're happy X was born'. I love that idea!
