Lucky for me, though, thirty is the new twenty. There has never been a better time to blow out thirty candles! But, if I\u2019m being honest, turning thirty <i>is<\/i> a pretty big deal for me. As exciting as it is to put the student loans and self-doubt that defined my twenties behind me and step forth into a new decade, the thought of that big old 3-0 birthday rolling around still brings up some mixed feelings for me.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of my close friends also turned thirty earlier this year. Needless to say, I\u2019ve spent a fair amount of time finding each of them a special gift that was worthy of the occasion; I would now consider myself an expert at shopping for thirty-year-old women (especially since I\u2019m almost one myself).<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re looking for the perfect birthday gift for that thirty-year-old lady in your life\u2014whether she\u2019s your sister, your gal pal, or your significant other\u2014my advice would be to choose something that would help make the beginning of a new decade fun, meaningful, and, of course, a little indulgent. Here are some of the best 30th birthday gifts for her that\u2019ll make any reservations she has about turning thirty disappear in a wisp of birthday candle smoke.<\/p>\n<h4>Fun and Creative 30th Birthday Gifts for Her Youthful Spirit<\/h4>\n<p>I used to think that at twenty-five I\u2019d finally start feeling like a grown up, but now that I\u2019m in my late twenties, I can safely say that still hasn\u2019t happened. I think the takeaway here is that even though the birthday girl is leaving her fun-loving, free-spirited twenties behind, she\u2019s still, and always will be, young at heart. Giving a gift that celebrates her youthfulness is bound to be a huge hit\u2014especially if the lady in question is feeling iffy about entering her third decade of life.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few of the best creative 30th birthday gift ideas for a gal who\u2019s determined to stay forever young:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8211\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8211\" style=\"width: 398px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-8211\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/il_fullxfull.1141608844_c2zl-min-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"adventurous 30th birthday gifts\" width=\"398\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/il_fullxfull.1141608844_c2zl-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/il_fullxfull.1141608844_c2zl-min-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/il_fullxfull.1141608844_c2zl-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/il_fullxfull.1141608844_c2zl-min-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/il_fullxfull.1141608844_c2zl-min.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 398px) 100vw, 398px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8211\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">More adventures are in store for her | Image courtesy Etsy seller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/511732695\/womens-camping-shirt-womens-t-shirt?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=adventure%20awaits%20women&amp;ref=sc_gallery_11&amp;plkey=659fcfd21b2bfdddd4e200cce27cb3cca8ac2cfb:511732695&amp;source=aw&amp;utm_source=affiliate_window&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=us_location_buyer&amp;awc=6220_1501172380_106e7338ac7ac72f67b7ac4dad7f2ff8&amp;utm_content=256677\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PressBoss<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><b>A funny t-shirt:<\/b> If the birthday gal has a stellar sense of humor, get her a cute t-shirt with a silly saying like \u201cForever 29\u201d on it. Not only will she have a good laugh, it will help lighten the mood and remind her not to take the day too seriously. Plus, a top like this will make for some super cute Insta pics from the party, amIright?<\/li>\n<li><b>A gift certificate to a climbing gym:<\/b> Monkeying around at a climbing gym will not only make her feel like a kid again, it will remind her of her youthful strength, agility, and adventurous spirit. And who knows, climbing could become a passion that will fuel her through her 30&#8217;s.<\/li>\n<li><b>A concert ticket to her favorite teen sensation band:<\/b> I recently heard rumors that the Backstreet Boys are going on tour with\u2014wait for it\u2014THE SPICE GIRLS. Now, I don\u2019t know if this is actually going to happen, but how rad would it be to treat your gal-pal to a night out dancing and singing along to the music that defined your teenage years? Start searching for shows near you now so you can snag floor seats and dance like it&#8217;s 1999!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What I love about these fun gifts is that they remind the birthday gal that turning thirty doesn\u2019t mean that she can\u2019t laugh, play, and swoon over boy bands like she did back in the day. After all, you\u2019re never too old to have fun.<\/p>\n<h4>The Best Heartfelt 30th Birthday Gifts to Inspire her Future<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8228\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8228\" style=\"width: 232px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-8228\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/il_fullxfull.1267493183_vq2x-min-1-300x292.jpg\" alt=\"best sentimental gifts for her 30th\" width=\"232\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/il_fullxfull.1267493183_vq2x-min-1-300x292.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/il_fullxfull.1267493183_vq2x-min-1-768x748.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/il_fullxfull.1267493183_vq2x-min-1-1024x997.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.elfster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/il_fullxfull.1267493183_vq2x-min-1-277x270.jpg 277w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8228\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">3 rings for 3 decades | Image courtesy Etsy seller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/ca\/listing\/523148238\/rose-gold-three-circle-necklace-three?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=30th%20birthday%20for%20her&amp;ref=sc_gallery_3&amp;plkey=523a6aa24f55d16865bd3eac383d79a7cc0ee4e4:523148238&amp;source=aw&amp;utm_source=affiliate_window&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=us_location_buyer&amp;awc=6220_1501172367_a5a5114a41acf1ae3102c5c2ddc0fbcc&amp;utm_content=256677\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Popsicledrum<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While I love a gift that indulges my youthful spirit as much as the next thirty-year-old gal, I\u2019m also a fan of gifts that tug at my heartstrings and inspire me in some way.

But, when it comes to a thirtieth birthday, think in threes. A ring with three stones or a simple rose-gold necklace with three interlaced circles symbolizing the three decades she\u2019s celebrated makes for a precious keepsake. Every time she wears it, she\u2019ll reflect on how far she\u2019s come and use that to inspire her to keep moving forward.<\/li>\n<li><b>A motivational print:<\/b> This makes a great gift for all those thirty-year-old girl bosses out there! For my friend\u2019s thirtieth birthday this summer, I got her a print with her favorite motivational quote (by Beyonce, of course) on a cute floral background to match her girly apartment decor. She hung it on the wall over her desk and looks at it every day to keep her focused as she works on her business.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to include a handwritten note explaining the meaning behind your gifts. For my entrepreneurial friend, I wrote a little note on the back of her frame telling her how much she inspires me with all of her hard work. You can never go wrong with adding a personal touch!<\/p>\n<h4>Themed Gift Exchange Ideas For the Best Joint 30th Birthday Bash<\/h4>\n<p>While traditional gift giving is always a hit, it can get to be a bit much\u2014especially when all your friends are turning thirty within a couple months of each other.
