My bestie just had her 30th birthday and that is the perfect occasion to do something special! Below is what I got her, and also other suggestions to take your gift giving up a notch.
My best friend Kathryn and I decided last year we were going to forgo Christmas gifts and just focus on birthdays from here on out! What a wonderful and great idea! Her and I are both very into turning 30 so I wanted to do something special. I got her a pair of stud earrings from Kendra Scott. Jewelry is a great gift that is meaningful and your bestie will remember that special piece. Below are some present ideas for 30th birthday gifts or any memorable occasion! Check out all the gift guides here.
1. ABLE
ABLE has an AMAZING mission, it’s a lifestyle brand focused on ending generational poverty by providing economic opportunities for women. All of their products are made by hand and all made by women in Ethiopia, Mexico, Peru and Nashville. They have clothing, jewelry, bags and shoes. These items are a beautiful gift for any occasion because of the impact they’re making. I love the personalized options on jewelry as well. An example is the Citadel Necklace and the gold Cuff Bracelet photographed above.
All ABLE products are so well made they’ll last season after season after season. I’ve been eyeing their sandals and their bags are on the higher price point but will last forever. I want one in my rotation!
2. Bryan Anthonys
This website is great for dainty jewelry and the packaging on an inspirational card is a perfect 30th birthday gift. The Move Mountains necklace pictured above is all about not settling and working for what you want. You can also build a necklace with charms which would be very special. The earrings are also a great gift idea to wrap up some inspiration and intention into their new year ahead!
3. LUSH
LUSH is a great business, it’s all ethically sourced, handmade and zero animal testing. You can read all about their values here. They have some super delicious and great gift sets in a variety of price ranges. I personally love the items in the Hello Gorgeous gift set pictured above. There is also a great set called Happy that has my all time favorite shower gel included. Check out all of their gift sets here.
4. A GREAT bottle of champagne
Bake some scones (I won’t tell if it’s from a box at trader joes) and invite your friend over for some brunch and girl chat to celebrate a new decade! A high quality bottle of champagne is a great 30th birthday gift as its something you can share together!
5. Apolis Global Citizen
I wrote an entire blog post on this amazing company and the bag that lasts forever. Check it out here! There is a great customizable option OR have their already made bags and fill it with fresh bouquet of flowers and a journal as a great gift. This is a great bag for any occasion but would be even more perfect to hold their 30th birthday gifts!
What are some of your 30th birthday gift ideas?! A new decade should be a big deal and it’s worth it to celebrate a bit more! Go the extra step for your bestie and she’ll start her year out right.
