To feel inspiration-less for DP big birthday

6 replies

Looking4giftideas · 26/01/2021 18:27

It is my partners birthday around easter. It is a ‘big’ birthday (he is turning 30) and in ‘normal times’ I would probably have booked a holiday or weekend away to celebrate. Can anyone think of gift ideas that are slightly more special than standard clothes/food/books etc? Or ways to make the day special if we are still in lockdown by then?
Partner is turning 30, we have no kids and he likes football, food, beer, travel, walking etc
Finding hard to find inspiration in the gloom of January!

For my husband's 30th- I wrapped 30 presents. Some normal clothes/ tech / books etc, some were tiny (the kids drew a picture, a 40p badge, his favourite crisps etc) altogether it made a great special gift.

If you're going to do it, I'd advise keeping a numbered list!

If he's into craft beer, maybe a subscription delivery box? I got a Beer52 one for DP a while ago and it went down very well.

For special food a lot of fancy restaurants are doing delivery meal packages - check your local area? Cocktails go down well too - I can't recommend these guys highly enough www.manhattansproject.com/

There is an events company near me that has been advertising on FB. I guess they would normally provide equipment for weddings etc but they will set up in people’s homes during lockdown- posh tables with breakfast or afternoon tea, gaming stations, air hockey, pool tables, casino tables that sort of thing. Thought a food package and some kind of entertainment would be a great lockdown present.
