These Are the 30th Birthday Gifts Your Grown-Ass Friends Actually Want

Let the millennial wear their skinny jeans in peace, k?! If they never plan to return to the days of low-rise, baggy denim, they’ll love this pair of mid-rise jeans with comfy four-way stretch.

One occasion absolutely worthy of a fancy candle like this one is a 30th birthday. Really lean into the b-day theme with this astrology-inspired ceramic vase. This one smells so heavenly with notes of lavender, cedarwood, and birch. Plus they can keep it long after and use it for decoration for years to come.

At 30 years old, they’re not retiring all of their uncomfortable heels quite yet, but they’d still appreciate a pair of supportive, reliable, everyday sneakers like these.

For the days when they don’t want to wear something with a heel, give ’em this pair of practical, 3.5-inch, square-toe sandals.

It’s time they start aerating their wine instead of drinking it straight from the bottle. Not only is this aerator-slash-decanter fun to use (you attach it to the bottle and flip it upside down), but it also gets the job done perfectly.

This stylish travel tote is a must for any 30-year-old planning a big trip for their big day.

Now that they own valuable accessories that they’d actually like to keep up with, they’ll likely need a protective carrying case to store everything in.

Someone in their thirties needs classic accessories that they can wear to the office and professional events but still wants cool pieces of jewelry. This necklace is the best of both worlds.

Happy hour just got even better with the addition of this premium Italian vodka. But since it’s their 30th birthday, do they really need to wait until 5 p.m. to start celebrating?

It doesn’t matter if the b-day bb has plans for the beach, brunch, or a fancy party. This ruffled dress works in pretty much every scenario.

A new handbag is the best gift idea no matter the person’s age. This baby pink chain shoulder bag feels youthful just like the birthday babe.

With the gift of this sleek kettle, you’ll not only help ’em wake up in the mornings with a little pour-over coffee, but you’ll also help them wind down at the end of the day with a soothing cup of tea.

As they move into their thirties, it might be time to revaluate their skin concerns and daily routine. With this gift set, you can pick and choose three to four items from an assortment of skincare for their face and body.

A 30-year-old has learned over the years how to appreciate the finer things in life, like a pair of comfortable pajamas. This matching top and shorts (with pockets!) will soon be their new favorite.

Help your friend boss TF up with a luxe designer watch, like this one with a marble-printed face and crystal markers.

Your thirties are the perfect time to tune out the world and focus on those goals, and these gold-accented over-ear headphones are too cute not to grab.

Speaking of saving money, make sure they have somewhere to hold all of that paper they’re getting.
