30th Birthday Presents and gift ideas
The 30th birthday is no longer the milestone it used to be. After all, 50 is the new 30 and 30 is the new 20! This means that under no circumstances should you buy the “Over the Hill” gag gifts for the significant other, friend or family member who will be turning 30 this year.
These types of gifts are slightly more appropriate for those turning 40, but usually are reserved for the 50th or 60th birthday. Fortunately, there are many other interesting (and more tasteful) presents that you can get for men and women for their 30th birthdays.
Experience day gifts are ideal for 30th Birthdays
Nothing quite matches the excitement of receiving an experience day present voucher on a birthday. You can pick from over two thousand different experience days starting from wine tasting, to chocolate making, to racing activity days in a smoking performance car! If you're hunting for something more relaxing, you can organise for an overnight spa day, or a diving course for the ladies.

Watches make for memorable 30th Birthday Gifts
Watches are usually given as a milestone gift, and therefore make perfect 30th bithday gifts for men and ladies. When choosing a designer watch, make sure you take into consideration the style of the wearer, and also his lifestyle.

What to know when buying ?
Gifts for Women:
For women who enjoy reading, the novel “Pushing 30,” and the inspirational “On Women Turning 30″ make great gifts.
A DVD is also a good choice. The movie “13 Going On 30″ is a great chick flick for 30-somethings and features an awesome thriller dance. A single woman in her 30′s might like to receive a season of “Sex in The City” on DVD.
A manicure, pedicure or massage is good gift for women who are sick of hearing pithy 30th birthday comments.
Gifts for Men:
There are a lot of good t-shirts out there with slogans that are perfect for a 30 year old. One favourite is the t-shirt that says “Made in the 70′s.” Other slogans include “Oh Crap! I’m 30,” and “It took me 30 years to look this good!”
There are a few books about turning 30 targeted at men that might make good gifts. A favourite is “Things a Man Should Never Do Past 30,” from Esquire (the men’s magazine). It is a list of funny rules for men over 30 to follow, including “Have any furniture that involves cinder blocks,” and “Google ex-girlfriends.”
Another popular 30th birthday gift is an album released the year the birthday boy was born. This album could be from a particular artist or could be a compilation, such as the Billboard Top Hits from 30 years ago.
Whether the 30 year old is male or female, there are many great gifts that don’t contain the words “Over the Hill.”
