A cheeky 40th birthday gift for the friend who’s already asleep before the party ends: ‘Life begins at 40’, says the label, before admitting everything hurts and you can’t stay up past 9pm. Retro cartoon touches of an alarm clock, a well-worn pillow and a clock stuck at 3am make the joke land. Ideal from siblings, work mates or a partner marking the big four-oh with a laugh.
