NBR: Gift for Friend's 40th B-Day?

One of my best friends is turning 40, and I would like to get her a thoughtful gift. She has a lot of money, so doesn't want for much, and she also just had her 2nd baby 3 weeks ago. We live 2 hours away from each other, so i can't, for instance, go to her local spa or salon and get her a mani/pedi, etc. b/c I am not in the area. Any suggestions?

    When I turned 40 my friends got me lots of gift cards.  One friend knows I love white wine, she gave me a beautiful wine glass with my name and my favorite bottle of wine.

    Another gave me a very pretty multi-colored scarf/wrap.  I get tons of compliments on it and it's something I would never buy for myself.

    For my friend's upcoming 40th we're putting together a video montage of all of our favorite times together and throwing in some video of each of us telling what we love most about her.

    She's gonna be a teary eyed mess.

    It's gonna rock!

     

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.

    Wow, you guys are thoughtful gift givers! Can you be my friends? I'll be 40 next year and already know I'll get jack squat and have to buy myself anything I want. LOL.

    Personally, I'm the rare bird who doesn't really enjoy spa days. But I do like jewelry, even from friends. I got my friend this for her 30th, so maybe something like it? Or a nice pair of earrings? My friend recently got me some awesome Kate Spade earrings that I just love.

    For my cousin's 40th a mutual friend and I got together and gave her 40 small gifts. Anything from  a personal picture frame to lingerie. We also all spent the weekend at a condo in OC,MD so it was all rolled into one. The condo was of course paid by her DH and she didn't know we were joining them. We got there ahead of the birthday girl and her Dh and decorated and then surprised her. Her cooked some of her favorite meals,too (homemade apple pancakes for breakfast one morning and steak and crabs for dinner on her bday night,
