When looking for a gift for Dad’s 40th birthday, it is worth keeping this in mind and preparing a truly special surprise—something that will make him feel young again and satisfy, at least for a while, his growing appetite for new experiences. A drive in a super-luxury car, or perhaps a parachute jump? A trip to a shooting range or a brewery tasting combined with a beer bath? Below, we present several tempting options—choose the perfect gift for your dad; after all, you know him best
Luxury car driving experience
A Porsche 911 Carrera, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari F430 or perhaps a Nissan GTR—these are dream cars for many men, and today they are within reach. An ideal gift for Dad could be a ticket for a drive in one of these cars. Depending on the option chosen, he may be able to drive it on a racing circuit or on public roads. Whether or not your dad is fascinated by cars, driving such a luxurious vehicle is bound to be enjoyable. Before choosing this gift, make sure that your dad has a valid driving licence!
Let your dad feel like an action-movie hero!
Among action-film creators, there is a trend of casting old hands as tough guys—Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis were stars of films watched on VHS tapes in the 1980s, and today they are enjoying a second youth. Perhaps your dad grew up watching their adventures and dreams of emptying a full magazine before ending with a catchy one-liner. A voucher for a shooting range where live firearms are used could be a good gift idea. He can choose from both handguns—a sports pistol, Glock or Colt—and long guns—a sporting rifle, AK rifle, commonly known as a “Kalashnikov,” or a wide-spread shotgun. After a short instructional session with a trainer and safety and firearms-handling training, he will be able to let loose at the shooting range—he does not have to be Leon the Professional to enjoy shooting at targets and holding a weapon whose barrels are still giving off smoke!
Beer bath and brewery tasting
If you are looking for something less extreme and your dad loves beer, the low-alcohol drink with its golden colour, you can invite him to a brewery tasting. To ensure it is not boring, however, we suggest visiting a beer bath in addition to simply drinking the golden beverage. Using a cedar sauna will help relax tired muscles, remove toxins from the body and improve circulation. The client will then take a bath in dried brewing ingredients—a specially prepared mixture of hops, yeast and malt. Finally comes the most enjoyable part: a brewery tasting!
