Best 40th / 50th bday gifts for HIM – experiences

Mar 20, 2017
by help@grouptogether.com

Men are so hard to buy for. Many buy whatever they really want and most don’t want another shaving kit! Here’s our Go To list of best experiences that might just be EXPERIENCES OF A LIFETIME!

They’re a bit $$$ so best GroupTogether for them. If 20 guests chip in $50 each, booyah! one AWESOME gift. If you’re nervous about the awkwardness of collecting money, problem solved too. GroupTogether invite, remind, collect, track and transfer the money to you for whatever you can dream up. It’s free and easy to set up and we even create a card with everyone’s messages and photos. It’s a really nice keep sake.

Still worried about getting left short? No worries. Our weekly reminders collect the stragglers and for those who say “can I pay you on the day” you can politely reply “But what a pity, your message won’t be on the printed card”. Winning!

1.  BRIDGE CLIMB OR BUCKET LIST

Find out what he’s always really wanted to do. Try bringing up “bucket list” experiences or travel experiences they’ve always dreamed of. The Sydney Bridge Climb is around $250/300pp depending on the time of week. If 20 friends chipped in $50, there’s enough for the birthday boy and a friend and maybe lunch somewhere special after. What a special day!


2.  HELICOPTER TO LUNCH

James… Barbados! Well maybe a little closer but glam all the same. A short helicopter ride soaring over the city you love is breathtaking. All the more decadent if the destination is a gourmet lunch with a view. And yes, there are restaurants that have views and that are great food too. Try the seaplane to Berowra Waters or Jonas at Whale Beach from Sydney’s Rose Bay.


3.   WINE & CHEESE APPRECIATION or MIXING

For lovers of a fine whiskey, what a treat to take a class to learn to appreciate the nuances of different “best” drops from the pros. There are:

  • Blend your own wine masterclass – Try Urban Winery, Sydney
  • Blend your own whiskey – Try Archie Rose Distillery in Rosebery, Sydney
  • Whiskey subscriptions where they send you a different boutique sample each time. Try The Whiskey Order
  • Some are whiskey or wine pairing classes with cheese. Try The Richmond Hill Cafe & Larder

4.   LEARN TO …

Young men never think they need lessons. With some age comes the wisdom to know it helps to have some expert advice. How ’bout chipping in for some lessons for his favourite hobby or soon to be favourite!

  • a kayak + lessons,
  • a SUP + lessons,
  • Skis + lessons
  • Guitar + lessons
  • Meditation / yoga lessons
  • Singing lessons

5.  SPORTS CAR HIRE

OK so this is most big boys’ dream! You can let him drive a sports card for a day, a really fast, shiny one! Starting at around $800/day for a Lamborghini Gallardo LP-560 or up to $3000/day for a Aventador 2015. He’d probably prefer it to 30 shaving kits or wallets. Whooosh! What a rush.

6.  FOR ADRENALIN JUNKIES

  • Skydive from 14000 ft.
  • Jetboat
  • V8 Race Car driving
  • JetPacking (shoots you out of the water from rocket shoes!)
  • Rock Climbing


HOW TO COLLECT THE $ FOR THE GIFT

Ever collected from friends before? The awkwardness of the endless reminder and inevitably getting left short. There’s a better way. GroupTogether.com makes it easy. It’s free and easy to set up. Then they do the rest: invite, collect, remind, create a group card and transfer the money or transfer an e-gift voucher to you. Done!
