It feels like it should be a major milestone, but it doesn&#8217;t seem as big an event as your 21st or 40th. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Still, it&#8217;s definitely something worth celebrating. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, if you have a loved one who will shortly be turning 30, here are a few 30th birthday ideas to help you plan and celebrate their big day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">30th Birthday Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Throw a surprise party<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the birthday boy or girl is a bit of a party animal, then throwing a surprise 30th birthday party is a great idea. it&#8217;s a chance for all your family and friend to get together, something that may not happen often. You can hire out a hall or room somewhere, or just hold your party at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you need to be careful with surprise parties. Not everyone appreciates them, or likes to be the centre of attention. So make sure you&#8217;re certain they&#8217;ll love it before starting to plan your party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Night out with overnight stay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If it&#8217;s your partner or spouse who will be celebrating their 30th, a romantic overnight stay can be a wonderful gift. This is especially true if you have kids and don&#8217;t get much alone time together. So get a childminder sorted (thanks, grandparents!) and book a night in a nice hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make it that bit extra special, if your budget stretches to it, why not get tickets for a concert or show too? Or just go for a movie and a nice meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A present for each year<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If it&#8217;s someone who&#8217;s really special to you who will be celebrating, why not get them 30 presents for 30 years?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn&#8217;t have to be as expensive as it sounds! Just lots of cheap but thoughtful gifts. Here are a few sample ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Burn a CD with all the number one songs in the charts on each of their birthdays over the years.<\/li><li>Retro sweets that remind them of their childhood days.<\/li><li>A photoframe or album filled with pictures of them, one from each year in their life if you can get hold of them.<\/li><li>Bake cookies and decorate with your own personal message.<\/li><li>Write your own poem about them and create your own card.<\/li><li>Make your own little book filled with their favourite quotes, or filled with quotes that describe what they mean to you.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Homemade gift vouchers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If it&#8217;s your partner or spouse&#8217;s birthday, put together a homemade booklet of vouchers they can cash in when they choose. These can include things that vary from cheeky to romantic, for example a voucher for a free massage, a voucher for breakfast in bed, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Family and friends meal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t think they&#8217;d enjoy a big surprise party, you can still organise a quiet meal somewhere with family and\/or friends. It&#8217;s a great chance to get together with family members and old acquaintances who they may not have seen for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day out at a theme park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the person who&#8217;s turning 30 is the adventurous kind, a day out at a theme park such as Alton Towers will get the adrenaline flowing. If you stay at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altontowers.com\/short-breaks\/alton-towers-hotel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alton Towers hotel<\/a>, you get a free ticket for the second day and you get access to some rides an hour before they open to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spa day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A bit of pampering and spoiling never goes amiss, so a spa day experience is always a good way of celebrating a birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cocktail making lessons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cocktails are very popular these days, so if the birthday boy or girl enjoys a tipple this is a great chance for them to learn how to make their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lessons are great fun, and you get to drink lots of cocktails too, which is a bonus! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.revolution-bars.co.uk\/cocktail-masterclass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Revolution Vodka Bar offer cocktail making classes<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Murder mystery dinner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are great for those who like a good whodunnit and fancy themselves as amateur detectives. And the good thing about these are that you can get a group of people and all go together, making a great family occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or you can even organise your own murder mystery dinner at home. For example, Amazon do a selection of murder mystery party games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other experience days<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays you can get vouchers for just about any kind of experience day you can imagine. So no matter what the birthday boy or girl likes to do, you&#8217;re sure to be able to find something suitable for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they&#8217;re the adventurous type, for example, Amazon do great gift vouchers that offer \u00a0a choice from over 370 different adventure experiences such as bungee jumping or supercar driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrap-up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully these 30th birthday ideas have given you some food for thought as to how to help someone celebrate their special day. You don&#8217;t have to spend a lot to make it memorable for them; it really is the thought that counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See also:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/techeffect.co.uk\/birthday-gifts\/40th-birthday-jokes\/\">Funny 40th birthday jokes<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are lots of great 30th birthday ideas to make their big day even more special and memorable.
