30th Birthday
HELP !
My son is 30 Tuesday, & I've no idea what to get him.
I don't want to get something for the sake of it, so for those of you
nearer to 30 than me........what does a 30 year old want ?
FWIW
He has a partner, car & home, so no trips to Amsterdam etc..... 
My conscience is clear - I drive a GREEN car

Get him a BMX, im 37 and my 11 year old son saved up for a long time and last weekend we took him to get a very nice BMX, it takes me back to my BMX
days in the eighties, i'de love one now 
Give a man a fish & it will feed him for a day, give him a fishing rod & you've saved a fish.

I was thinking probably somewhere with his parner such as a SPA.

A Spa? A meal would probably more gratifying. How about a gas barbeque? everybody likes one of those.

Get him a book about building a car for £250, that should shut him up and keep him broke until he is at least 33!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Speaking from experience, I would say that the best thing to get him would be a night/weekend he won't forget.
If you know his mates, organise something to his taste, whether that be paintballing, karting or whatever, perhaps combining it with a weekend away
and a night out...

Nearly 30 myself,money!but if I had to have something I didn't really want it'd be another rallyschool day,like for my 21st.not
advertising but that was with I think ti rally school in yorkshire,no classroom stuff,just rag crap out of mk2 escorts for the day,far better than
what friends have been on since on red letter type days.cars were mainly yellow with a blue stripe if that helps!

Don't you mean 43?
Anyway, I was 30 on Aug 5th and I wanted a weekend in Ireland watching a tarmac rally or a weekend in Centre Parks with my mountain bike, neither of
which I got. Bummer
Instead I went to Alton Towers for the weekend with a 2 day pass. Currently saving up for the weekend in Ireland I promised
myself.....................................
