- Milestone birthdays call for extra celebration.birthday tag image by Renata Osinska from Fotolia.com
A 30th birthday is a milestone that can either be greeted with excitement for those excited to be reaching the benchmark or disdain from those mourning their 20s. Whatever the attitude, add an element of fun and pleasure with some well thought-out gift choices, specific to the milestone birthday. Whether you choose a gift or an activity, researching the hobbies and interests of the birthday individual will help provide excitement for the big 3-0 birthday. - In lieu of giving a tangible gift, plan a day outing or trip as a birthday present. Organize a game of paintball with friends for a day of dodging paint bullets, capturing enemy strongholds and battling one on one. Plan a tour of a local vineyard or brewery to sample some local beers or wines, for a more refined outing. Bring a bottle or six pack of a favorite beverage home as an added gift. Charter a small boat for a scenic day with close friends, or some hours spent relaxing or fishing.
- Help ease the tension and stress of leaving your 20s behind with a day of relaxation and pampering at a local spa. Receive a massage and a facial, or a manicure and pedicure to fully enjoy the day. An exotic mud bath or seaweed wrap can help renew your skin and make you feel young. Provide a bottle of champagne, some candles and a book or magazine to continue the relaxation at home.
- Create a homemade coupon book with 30 pages, one for each year the birthday individual has lived. Create the best coupon for the last page of the book, making the recipient grateful for the extra year. Include items such as a dinner out at a favorite restaurant as well as a home-cooked meal and breakfast in bed. Add coupons for an hour-long massage or an evening of complete television remote domination. Target the recipient's individual interests when creating the coupons to ensure maximum impact.
