QUICK! Help needed to find a 30th birthday present.

**Santosha** · December 5th, 2013, 05:40 AM

HELLLLLPPP! My sister's 30th is on Sunday. It kind of snuck up (in a Mummy brain-fade kind of way) and I have nothing for her. I can't manage the shops with three, unless it's a specific get in, get out mission. So I need a plan...
Any ideas of something a bit special for a 30th? She's uber fashionable and arty and has quite specific tastes (that are quite different from mine) so it's really hard to pick something personal that I know she'll like. SO STUCK!!!

We're in Melbourne (she lives and works in the CBD) so if you can think of any experiences/tickets etc, that could work

She just bought a house and is decorating (but not furnishing as she's going to rent it out)

??????
Any ideas much appreciated. xo

A really special bottle of bubbly?? Plus an experience voucher?

Winery tour up the yarra valley?

Don't forget woolies have lots of gift vouchers.

I'd love a magazine subscription if it were me. Check out mind food mag.

Tix to a show?
Restaurant voucher?

Money with strict instructions to spend it on something she wouldn't normally buy?

A voucher for Hard to Find

Some super ideas there! A cooking class? A hammock with a frame? I think I saw them in…Hmm. Big W? Bunnings? If you looked online, then called, to see if they had them, it'd be an in and out job.

how'd you go?

**Santosha** · December 9th, 2013, 07:33 AM

Thanks Calluna and thanks all for the ideas.

I ended up getting her a voucher to a day-spa. She's going camping for 3 weeks over summer so I bought her a voucher to a place near where she's camping so when she's in desperate need of a shower and a comfy lie-down she can go spoil herself. I was a bit sad to not get her something special to keep as it was a milestone birthday, but she seemed stoked.

Oh, and Olive, I looked up Hard to Find. Ooooooh such lovely stuff, thanks for the tip!
