  A 30th birthday celebration is not only a personal milestone but also an opportunity for gift givers to have a little fun. The last thing you want to do is buy something boring and dull for a guy who's a blast to be around. With a little creativity and planning, there are so many thoughtful gift ideas to choose from that will have your favorite birthday boy smiling from ear to ear.
  
  

Caricature Gifts

• For her 30th, find one of her favorite pictures and have a caricature of her best picture drawn. Scan and upload the caricature onto your computer and order throw pillows, mugs or even aprons in her honor. You can even order boxers or mouse pads for a real laugh. Just make sure you plan this months in advance, since this will take some time to be delivered. This gift works even better if he is really shy.
  
  

Thrill-Seeker Gifts

• Celebrating a 30th comes with lots of soul-searching or a need to do something wild and crazy so that he knows he's still a boy at heart. Take him kayaking, canoeing (for the more tame) or bungee-jumping. The cathartic effect of these activities will have him giggling like he just got tickled by the Pillsbury Dough Boy. If one thrill is not enough, there is always Universal Studios or Disney World.
  
  

Thrifty Fun Gag Gifts

• If you are looking to save some money, gag gifts are the way to go. Just buy a gift box from your nearest craft supply store and fill it with little "Over The Hill" gifts and maybe even some midlife crisis types of books. For a female, add relationship self-help books about how to find a husband; you'll have everyone cracking up in no time. You can also add a "plastic surgery piggy bank" to get her on track for those injections she keeps talking about. Walk over to her and start applying one of the "tattoos for the elderly" you had in your pocket.
