2012 40th Birthday Gift Ideas for Men under $100 Cool Gifts

40 is the new 30. So they say. Well, tell that to the poor fella over there moping because he is turning 40. Yes, the dreaded 40th birthday. Hey mister, turning 40 is not the end of the world.

Look at George Foreman. After a brief stint in retirement, Big George tried to make a comeback in the late 80’s to prove that turning 40 was just a number and didn’t mean that your life was over. At the age of 42, he came out of retirement to take on then 28-year old undefeated champion Evander Holyfield. Although he lost the fight, he was able to take the champ all 12 rounds earning the respect and admiration of critics and fans. Then at age 45, he was able to take on another highly touted champion named Michael Moorer in 1994.

As a serious underdog, he was supposed to have no shot against a fighter nearly 20 years younger than him, but he showed them all. While trailing on all judge’s cards throughout the entire fight, Foreman was able to land a key knockout shot to Moorer’s chin in the tenth round which made him the oldest boxer to win a Heavyweight championship.

So, there you go... there is life after 40. Excuse me? It's not your 40th birthday? Who's turning 40 then? Your boss? And you're moping because....? You're in charge of buying a gift for him and you don't know what to get him? Let me help.
