Turning 30 is a milestone, and it can truly be a life-changing experience for a guy. In astrology, the span of 30 years marks Saturn’s travel all the way around the individual’s chart and back to its rightful place, also known as a Saturn return. It’s the official end of childhood and the beginning of a never-ending chain of responsibilities. According to Wikipedia, “During this time astrologers note that goals are consolidated and people tend to gain a better vision of where they are going in life. There are added responsibilities and a person may reap the rewards from his or her hard work.” The gift bestowed upon the occasion of a man’s 30th birthday should reflect this momentous occasion in some fashion or another, and here are a few ideas.
If the purpose of the gift is to humiliate or taunt the new 30-year-old guy, there are a number of items you could consider, such as black T-shirts emblazoned with a phrase like “Over The Hill” or “Older Than Dirt,” or how about some black roses in a coffin? To purchase such items, check out this site. Of course, for a present such as this, you can expect some form of retaliation, which is worth considering as well.
If the recipient is way too dignified for such a demeaning gesture, there are certainly other gifts that are more sedate, such as cufflinks engraved with “30” on the outside, or a silver cuff bracelet or titanium ring engraved with a sentimental message. Or how about a glass photo frame engraved with the particulars (name, date, etc.) of the occasion?
To really catapult a guy into the 30-year-old mindset, consider the concept of providing him with a “don’t look back” experience, such as a dogfight in a small aircraft, such as a Marchetti S260. There are many companies that can provide him with an experience like this. Try this one. Another experience would be the opportunity to race a luxury car. Go here to arrange an opportunity for the birthday guy to drive a Ferrari around a racetrack.
If you, the gift-giver, are a person of some means, there are a number of high-ticket items that could help to mark this overnight attainment of maturity, such as a nice set of golf clubs, a fancy set of luggage, a big-screen plasma television or a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. And if that doesn’t work, build him his own football stadium or movie theatre. That ought to get his attention!
Whatever gift is to be presented should be carefully tailored to the tastes and abilities of the gentleman in question. Many men view their 30th birthday with dread, running to the mirror every hour or so to see if their hairline has receded any further. If the gentleman is not eager to celebrate such an occasion, maybe it is best to do so in a low-key, non-derisive, non-public manner.
