A good pair of cufflinks is a keepsake gift they’ll have forever. This set is stainless steel and is available in all 26 letters of the alphabet. They come in a black gift box, so they are ready for gifting.
This is something between a piece of art and a toy. It’s a stainless steel kinetic sculpture designed by British artist Ivan Black. Each is handmade by Italian artisans. Its stress-releasing wave design makes it perfect for their work desk. To really appreciate this, watch the short video included on the Amazon page. It’s mesmerizing to see the sculpture in motion!
This is an excellent gift for the birthday boy who loves survival gadgets. It’s a pen, a flashlight, a glass breaker, fire starter, multi-key tool, screwdriver, wrench, bottle opener, ruler, and serrated tool and comes with three ink refills. It’s an excellent gift for men who love DIY or spend a lot of time outdoors.
This is another excellent gift for the outdoorsman. This stainless steel bottle cap uses UV-C sterilization, the same process used in water treatment plants. Any water can be purified and made safe to drink in 60 seconds with a few taps of the finger. The bottle is self-cleaning. It auto-activates every four hours to stop mold and bacteria from breeding in the bottle. Made of durable stainless steel, it can keep a cold drink cold for 24 hours and a hot drink hot for 12 hours.
This chair is an excellent fortieth birthday gift for a man who loves to camp, hike, hit the beach, or tailgate! It can be worn as a backpack, and the storage compartment can be used to carry gear, the catch of the day if he’s a fisherman, or food and drinks. And it’s a folding chair! It can hold up to 330 pounds and is made of durable, waterproof material.
Vintage 1981 and aged to perfection just like him! This stainless steel tumbler is vacuum insulated to keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours or hot for up to six hours. The tumbler holds 20 ounces and is available in a variety of colors.

The mug holds 14 ounces.
What’s a birthday celebration without a good, stiff drink? This set is ideal for the 40-year-old man who loves whiskey. It includes four lead-free crystal rocks glasses and a lead-free crystal decanter. The glasses hold 10 ounces, and the decanter 25 ounces.
