Let's be real here. Turning thirty does not qualify someone as being over the hill. Sure, it might be a difficult milestone for some (particularly some women!). It is indeed a time of change. Unlike the previous decade that was filled with carefree college antics, youthful energy and wild moments, hitting the thirties means a fully-charged career, kids and a whole lot of serious issues to deal with - like finances and taxes. For many, turning thirty is coming to grips with the fact that they will never be twenty-something again. But still, the thirtieth birthday shouldn't be denoted by black balloons and gag gifts. It should be marked by a whimsical celebration! Thirty is truly when one becomes a "young adult." So if you know someone who is quickly approaching this magnificent milestone, here are some gift ideas to celebrate their birthday in a light hearted way:
Personalized Share of Starbucks: They've spent half their life hanging out there, so why not give them their own little piece of Starbucks? Visit Oneshare.com to buy them a share of this international coffee empire. You'll receive a personalized framed copy of their stock certificate, which they can proudly display on their home or office wall. Include a quote like Building Your Financial Freedom One Cup at a Time or add your own. You'll be buying them a little piece of retail history.
Kayaking Experience: Whether they know how to kayak or not, they'll love the adventure of taking on the wild rapids! Look for daily or weekend kayaking excursions in your local area. Go online or check your yellow pages for canoe and kayak trips and classes.
Blast from the Past Board Game: Give them a chance to take a trip back through the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's and test their nostalgic memory. This is a fun-filled gift that will give hours upon hours of laughs. You recipient will be surprised how much they remember! And how much they want to forget!
TV Series on Video or DVD: If they're really hooked on a certain television show or if they used to be hooked on one, here's a terrific gift that they're sure to enjoy: buy them an entire season of their favorite show on video or DVD! Some ideas are The Dukes of Hazzard, Dallas, Nip/Tuck, the West Wing, ER, Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends or Sex and the City.
Bookstore Gift Certificate: Gift certificates are the perfect solution when you can't seem to find the right gift. For someone just turning thirty, an appropriate selection is the gift of reading. So opt for a gift certificate to the corner bookstore or the behemoth of them all, Amazon.

Idea for 30th Birthday Gift for Wife
If your wife is about to turn 30, you can help her celebrate by letting her know how much she means to you by giving her the perfect gift. Her 30th birthday is a milestone that deserves to be celebrated. Any one of these ideas will forever mark her 30th birthday as one to be cherished for a life time. The best part will be knowing you played a major hand in making it happen for her.
Nostalgia
Nostalgic ideas from the year she was born are great ways to mark the occasion. Purchasing a "Your Special Day" copy of Life Magazine is a fun way to help your wife celebrate turning 30. She will treasure this original copy of Life Magazine dating back to the week she was born.
A photo collage using her baby pictures from birth to one year will also touch her heart. These can be displayed in a shadow box with, if you can obtain them, her first pair of booties, rattle or blanket. You can include a calligraphy copy of her birth certificate as well.
Make Her Dreams Come True
Give your wife the ultimate 30th birthday gift in the form of an adventure. There could be something she has mentioned always wanting to do but never took the time for, or didn't think she could afford it. You may know of something she missed out on as a kid that you can make happen for her today.
If she has never boarded a plane or a helicopter, these rides can be taken relatively inexpensively for you both at small municipal airports in your area. Taking to the skies is both exciting and romantic. Bring along the camera to get that special shot of the two of you.
If she never got that pony she had hoped for as a little girl you may want to consider taking her horseback riding. A weekend of horse riding lessons will be fun and memorable for the two of you. It will also be a chance to make a childhood dream come true for her.
30 Different Ways
An inexpensive idea that your wife will love more than diamonds or pearls is found in heart felt expressions of love and adoration. At your local paper store you can find small envelopes to hold business sized cards. On these cards, that you can print at home, write thirty things you love about her. Then, over the next month she can open one card each morning to be blessed by the many ways you adore her.
Another similar idea involves her friends and family. Have each of them write down a memory of time spent with your wife over the last thirty years. Make sure to provide beautiful cards for them so they can write these in their own handwriting. Place the cards in an ornate box that is hers to keep.
Don't Forget the Party
One of the best gifts you can give your wife on her 30th birthday is a party. Taking the time and effort to plan a party speaks loudly of your love for her. She'll appreciate the gesture for years to come. It might not be a bad idea to hire a photographer for the occasion so she can have pictures to look back on the day as she celebrated this milestone with loved ones.

What Happens When Women Aged 30 Years Old
The new age of adulthood: 30. Our extended adolescence has really, well, extended. But according to Josh Albertson, Lockhart Steele, and Jonathan Van Gieson, authors of the new "Book of Ages 30," life begins at 30. Thirty is cool. Party on, dude!
That should be good news to the 3,789,800 Americans who will turn 30 this year. Unlike their parents, today's thirtysomethings think of this milestone as a new beginning and not an end. Priorities shift. New things become important. Uh oh. Your adulthood is showing.
"When we started writing this book, I really didn't feel like there was a whole lot of buzz about being 30," Albertson told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Now there is a lot of talk of 30 being the new 21. People are looking at it as the beginning of adulthood. I think people put off growing up for longer. Sometimes people look up when they're 30 and sort of wonder where they are and what they've done."
So who are America's thirtysomethings and what do they have to look forward to? "Book of Ages 30" has an interesting take on it:
How Old IS 30?
If you're 30, you're old--specifically, you're older than 42 percent of all Americans. But you're not alone. Fifteen percent of Americans are also in their 30s.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Being 30
If you're 30, you've already lost 10 percent of your muscle mass. You're likely to be in debt to the tune of $20,000. But the good news is that you're also likely to be having sex 2.24 times a week.
Sex
While 81 percent of women and 71 percent of men have been married by their early 30s, there are plenty who are still virgins after their 30th birthday: 1 in 33 men and 1 in 25 women.
Your Good Looks
Men at 30 are on average 5' 10.2" tall and weigh 174 pounds, while 30-year-old women are 5' 4.6" tall and weigh 130 pounds.
Let's Talk Money
The median income for 30-year-old men is $30,510, while the median income for 30-year-old women is $21,473. On average, 30 year olds have held 7.5 jobs. They have a 24 percent chance of being promoted in the next year.
Career Peaks and Valleys
J.K. Rowling published the first volume in the "Harry Potter" series just before she turned 32. By 30, Harrison Ford went from being a carpenter to an actor in "American Graffiti," and back to being a carpenter. Remember Mr. T? At age 30, in case you wondered, he was about to play the villain in "Rocky III." When they were 30, no one other than their family and friends knew who Oprah Winfrey or Jane Austen were.
No More Naps
You're less likely to fall asleep at your desk than those young twentysomething whippersnappers down the hallway. Just over half of 18- to 29-year-olds report substantial daytime sleepiness, compared with 33 percent of the over-30 crowd.
Don't Shoot!
Nearly half, 45 percent, of all thirtysomethings own a firearm. In fact, more people in their 30s own firearms than do people in any other decade of their lives.
