Our very best friend in the world is turning 30 very soon, so we’re in the middle of looking for a very special gift to help her celebrate. Only problem is, we’re struggling to find something that will be a memorable gift to mark the Big Day, but won’t push her over the edge into midlife crisis meltdown.
When it comes to birthdays, some women can be very sensitive about age, especially those ‘big ones’ that’d we’d rather not keep mentioning here, thank you. Mid-life crises aside, the one-that-comes-after-29 has got be one of the hardest birthdays to buy for. One thing is for sure, it needs to be special, so most of us are willing to either club together with friends and family, or we dig deeper into our purses to buy something really nice.
Some of the most glamorous gifts for women’s 30th birthdays we’ve ever clapped eyes on include delicious goodies from top designer brands like Mulberry and Links of London. These names are all synonymous with luxury and style, so why not treat her to something seriously glam and glittery with a fancy handbag or a gorgeous piece of jewellery. You know she’ll love you for it!
Of course, it’s no good having stunning accessories if you’ve got nowhere to go to celebrate, so you’ll have to have a night out to make the most of the festivities. If you’re thinking of organising a birthday ‘do’ with a difference there are loads of themed bars and restaurants out there all vying for your business.
One of our friends arranged a birthday bash at The Peacock, a great place to dine for women, in London’s trendy Clapham Junction area. The venue has loads of different acts and shows on, including a Frank Sinatra-style crooner and even a burlesque and cabaret show if you like your entertainment a little more risqué, shall we say! It was a fab night out and one we’ll remember. In fact we couldn’t forget it, as the photographic evidence is well and truly set in stone on Facebook…
If a wild night out on the town isn’t their thing, you might find yourself looking for more unusual gift ideas. When we say ‘unusual’ we actually mean downright adrenalin-packed. Why not buy them an activity gift to get the lady you love doing something they would never arrange for themselves to do in a million years? We’re talking something completely mad like wingwalking on a plane or skimming over the sea on a fancy superyacht.
She doesn’t have to be action girl though, as there are hundreds of perfect gifts for her available online that don’t have to involve any dare-devil antics, with photoshoots, afternoon teas and spa days all being really popular gift ideas too. The great thing about many of these gifts is that they are for two people, so you may be invited along to join in the fun. Perfect!
Girly girls will always love beauty products, so you won’t go far wrong if you plump for fragrances for women, or a nice skincare treatment cream and these can now all be bought online, from sites such as Next, if you don’t fancy venturing out onto the High Street. Most websites will also do a gift-wrapping service if your order is for a birthday gift.
So whether you’re looking for birthday gift ideas for women who love to party, ladies who adore the finer things in life, or go-getter girls who fancy a fun and exciting activity, there are ways and means to find that perfect gift online!
