When I turned 40 a few years back, I didn't really have a party but did get some really cute things. My sister gave me an "Old Lady's Walking Cane", some novelty "pills" (jelly beans, m&m's, and red hots in medicine bottles for different ailments), and balloons and signs all along my route to work! She even taped a sign to the back of my vehicle that said, "Honk, I'm 40 today" - it was there half the day before I saw it, was wondering why people were honking at me!! If you have a novelty type store nearby, stop in and see what they may have that can help you come up with some ideas.

Best of luck, sorry I couldn't give you any more ideas that that. Maybe someone else will come along that can give you better ideas than me.
