30th Birthday Present Ideas

Thirty, these days, is an extension of adolescence—men are clinging to youth and college, while trying to move forward as a career and family man. This makes gift-giving difficult; no longer are young men’s presents appropriate, but the shirts and ties that befall men at older ages are still too far away. What, then, to get him?
If your man is one who enjoys nature—hiking, camping, long walks through the woods with the dog—outdoors equipment is a smart choice, such as cozy cold weather gear, camping supplies, or fantastic hiking shoes. A great idea is a headlamp, which fits over the top of the head with adjustable straps and situates a powerful LED right on the forehead. This allows for hands-free illumination when out at night. This is great for setting up late-night campsites or taking the dog out for a moonlight stroll.
If your man is one who enjoys a night in with the boys, either playing cards or watching the big game, something entirely different is in the cards for him. Poker sets are great gift ideas—if you don’t mind spending a bit of extra money, poker chips can be etched with the recipient’s monogram. Chip or money counters act as great complements to a poker set, and no boys’ night is complete without authentic pub glasses and a couple cases of his favorite beer.
If he’d rather move the party outside to a barbeque or tailgate, a wealth of ideas awaits you, especially if he is a sports fan. You can find all sorts of fun things with a team logo on it—Webber grills come to mind, and they make a great addition to any party, sports-themed or not. A great complement to a grill is a branding iron for steaks; he can brand his steak with a Gator while grilling on his University of Florida grill. For cooler weather get-togethers, a football blanket with his favorite team’s colors makes a great gift. Depending on your region, you can either find them in sports apparel stores, or go to the official website of that team.
If he’s the technologically savvy type, he might appreciate an addition to his tech collection. Smart phones are convenient and relatively inexpensive means by which any guy can stay connected to the digital world. If he already has a smart phone, consider accessories, such as protectors or belt clips. If he prefers the recreational side of technology, check out the latest games for his preferred gaming platform—you’re sure to find something he can really dig into!
Every man is different, and therefore tastes vary—hopefully this article has given you a starting point. Gifts at 30 years old should be fun, yet functional, and something he can enjoy with others. Good luck!
