Husband's 40th Birthday ideas?

[op]

It's my husband's 40th soon. I desperately need ideas for a birthday bash. He's quite a quiet guy and doesn't like a big fuss, but I feel I need to do something a little social for him on this big day.
Any ideas for a nice present and bash e.g. dinner, cruise? He made a really big fuss over my 40th with a surprise party, but I do not think he would like this himself. He's a bit antisocial!

I'm at a loss

Well, you don't give much details, but I would say, whatever he likes, make it ++++ ! If he's in running, register him and organize for NYC marathon. Into food, a Michelin 3* meal. Watches, a pricey one...and so on...

How about an all boys' party at one of the less salubrious establishments in OT?  That would blow some cobwebs off :-)

from Marina at Keppel Bay.  Google is your friend.  Budget from around S$2k upwards....a wee party for friends while sailing around the southern islands

Hubby is antisocial, he got no friends... So the boat ride will be 1-to-1... Maybe the OT option is a good idea after all!

How about a surprise weekend break away?

[GGirl]

   Hi,  is he into sports?  If so, a surprise game catered with great style.  eg. round of golf with some old friends, hire the Futsal pitch at East coast for a fun game & his favourite beer or informal cricket with gin & tonics and cucumber sandwiches, oysters etc .  He'll feel within his comfort zone but you can still spring a surprise

[Better still]

Why not combine the above two suggestions: give him an awesome weekend at one of the kite-surfing schools along the Malaysian East Coast. He'll feel like 20 again ripping up the chop on his kite.

And I reckon the apres-surf seafood BBQ with drinks round a campfire will be a major hit too.

Great way to celebrate if he's not into big groups. Can be just you, him and some close buds and budettes.

Have a fun eh!

Well...when I turned 40 I told my wife I wanted either a menage-a-trois or to go skydiving.  She took me skydiving and it was a great experience.  Scary but wonderful. 

[on my 40th]

I went out for nice meal on my 40th birthday to crystal jade, real chinese style food...yummy.
