Q. I originally wanted to get my best friend 30 individually wrapped things (small little things) for her birthday but I think it'd be better if i broke it down into 3 gifts; one for each decade of her life. The only problem I have is what to get her... maybe a gift representing her first 10 years ... perhaps candy or a doll...... then her second decade 10-20... (this is where I'm stuck)..... and from 20-30.......i've got a few things in mind but wanted to see if anyone has anything to throw into the pool of ideas. Or if not the 3 decades then anything else you might think would be nice for her 30th would be appreciated ^_^ i sill love the 30 things to unwrap but would that be too much? hmmm....
Answer
Mabey her second decade could have her favorite movie or song . You could also do a This is Your Life kind of thing where you do a whole picture collage of her throughout the years and top it off with someone giving out a story about her at that time in her life. Then just give her a Doll from the 80's (Cabbage Patch), Favorite movie- a 90's movie mine is (Dante's Peak), and Now-(whatever you think she likes now). Mind you these are just ideas. I know her taste differs than mine. I'm 33, so we aren't that far in age.

Hi
don't give her an appliance as these are like saying here this will make thing's a lot easier around the house.Something just meant for her is so much nicer, jewellery ,gift voucher's for lingerie, a day being pampered.Here are some examples of theme's for birthday parties.
I went to a 60's birthday bash and the entertainment was live with song's from the 60's era and we were dressed to kill in the 60's garb.( Think fancy dress,a reunion, base the food around what ever it is the party theme is focused on. Memories, what year it was what food ?).You could invite 30 of her best and dearest friend's/family, have 30 of her favourite food's, thirty chinese lantern's or candles set around the area set for entertainment (be safe here) get my drift?
I also went to a birthday party and the theme was cocktail's. Dress was evening wear, guests were limited so only those who meant alto to the person were invited, never mind if friend's were single and couples. A few women from the local play centre/school were asked if they would like to earn some extra money by preparing what was on the menu (finger food's such as mussels in shell, prawn's wrapped in pastry funnel's, fresh bread ham on the bone and condiment's anything you desire(this is only an example).Dont forget something to go with coffee and tea for those who may have done with the alcohol.Oh and non alcoholic drink's..Hope this is of help to you.
