When I turned forty, I officially crossed “over the hill” and celebrated the first of my “milestone” birthdays. I remember when I was a kid thinking that forty was soo old. Now, of course, it feels quite young. Funny how that happens, isn’t it?

That all being said, we should celebrate these big milestones in our lives. You only turn forty, or fifty, or seventy, or whatever – once. Let’s make the most of it for ourselves and for our girlfriends.

I’ve had a few girlfriends ask me to compile some ideas for those big “milestone” birthdays. So I’ve rounded up some ideas for you here. The best part about this list is that every single one of these ideas can be found on Amazon. (If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m also a believer in easy shopping)

If your gal pal is a wine drinker:

1.	2.	3.
4.	5.	6.
7.	8.	9.
