David Beckham will apparently be unwrapping a very special gift for his birthday – a jewel-encrusted bike helmet.

The footy ace turns 41 on May 2, and it seems wife Victoria wanted to treat him to something rather nice.

So according to The Sun, she shelled out a whopping five-figure sum on a personalised helmet for him.

The pricey prezzie is a version of the French Les Atelier Ruby helmet and features 17 gems – one for each year the A-listers have been married.

“David loves bikes so she designed a special helmet as well as gloves, a bluetooth device and expensive camera lens,” a source said.

David is known to be a fan of motorbikes and has previously shared photos of himself zooming around in the US.
