                That time of year has arrived and once again you have to go and find a special birthday gift for your loved one. Except this time it's different. They're leaving their carefree twenties behind and they're about to hit that first big bad milestone - the big 3-0! So what does that mean for you? Well if it's your son or daughter who's celebrating, you'll be forgiven for feeling a little old yourself! If it's your big sister, you know your big moment will be along too, probably sooner than you'd like. If it's your best friend, you'll be looking forward to a huge celebration. But no matter who the party girl or boy is, you'll definitely want to impress them with something original to mark such an occasion. 

Buying birthday gifts is never an exact science and unless you have an innate ability to spot the perfect gift every time, your search can often be a haphazard affair. If you're looking for original gifts, it might be worth changing your habits, trying out some of the smaller independent shops and avoiding the standard high street department stores. Although they do offer some limited gift ideas, they tend to be distinctly lacking in the originality department. Shopping for 30th birthday gifts should be all about bringing together unusual and original ideas that you'd never find on the high street. If they've never seen the item before in the shops, it's more likely they'll love it, if only for its originality and the thought you've obviously put into choosing it.

Personalised 30th Birthday Gifts

There seems to be no limit these days as to the number of things we can have personalised! It's all a sign of how technology and consumer goods are becoming more and more tailor-made. But if personalised items make excellent 30th birthday gifts, personalised champagne and wine are the stuff birthday dreams are made of. You're sure to be hearing the pop of champagne corks on that important day, so why not make that celebration tailor-made by putting your own stamp on the bottle. Engraved items in silver or glass also make fabulous 30th birthday gifts and these days you can choose from a fabulous range of items to engrave. How about the 'Bundle of Joy Engraved Photo Album', which makes a lovely gift for anyone starting a family. And if your birthday boy is an avid Man United fan, take a look at the 'Personalised Manchester United Magazine Cover'. Imagine his delight as he sees Alex Ferguson depicting him as an up and coming football star in the making!

Original Experience Days

Experience days make original 30th birthday gifts in themselves, but how about something other than the bog standard pamper day at a health spa, or rally drive at a race track. How about 30th birthday gifts that cross the boundaries of originality and give them a once in a lifetime experience! What are the chances they've ever considered indoor skydiving or double decker bus driving? Whether or not these are activities they've always dreamt of doing, they're certainly guaranteed a great day out, so there's no excuse not to surprise them. For anyone with a destructive streak - and be honest, in today's stressful society we could all do with letting off some steam - there's even the car crushing experience. Watch as birthday boy climbs on board the tank and crushes everything in sight!

Now for something really original!

Finding original 30th birthday gifts that no one has ever seen in the shops can prove to be the most challenging task of all. But look closely and be open to new ideas and you really will find 30th birthday gifts with a twist! Remember the joy of receiving a new jigsaw puzzle when you were a child? The smell of those chunky jigsaw pieces, the brightly coloured image and the intrigue of putting it all together? Then why not renew that joy with an 'Aerial Photo Jigsaw Puzzle' of their own home? It's exciting enough to see their house from the air, but then so much fun to put together and a lasting reminder of how much thought you've put into those 30th birthday gifts. If your birthday boy or girl appreciates modern art, you can also get creative with the 'Warhole Style Pop Art Print'. If you've seen this style of photography and how it can be transformed into art, you'll know how much it appeals to this age group and how great it looks in any modern home. So get searching for a classic photo of whoever is celebrating their 30th and get to work having them transformed into a piece of original art!
