    My DH isn't 30 til January but I have ordered him a Manchester United programme from the day he was born - and I have also started work on a CD with every number one from every birthday. I'm not 100% sure how to burn it onto a disk so may buy a cheapie MP3 player and put it on there instead!
  • I always get my BF a Mr Men book - it's getting harder now to find one that suits but I'm sure you'll find one that is relevant if you've never used the idea before Mr Tall/Short/Grumpy etc. I also always get something pink as he said when we first got together no woman could get him to wear that colour. Other joke presents include a mini bowling set cos I beat him at bowling, an old man coin purse cos of a silly joke with his mates. I tend to just get daft things tbh! I know they don't fit with the 30 of something but maybe if you just get 30 presents?!

    30 cans/bottles of his favourite booze? (probably not vodka or whiskey lol!)

    30 £1 Amazon Vouchers, you can print them off as cards in different designs

    30 Scratch Cards/Lotto tickets for the one closest to his birthday

    That's all I can think of for now. You have a pretty good list!

    EDIT:

    What about 30 mini lego kits?

    A big box of 30 ballons filled with Hellium so when he opens it all the ballons fly out. Could even do that outside for a nice "display"

    30 Postcards in an album you could get some really funky ones or have a mooch round for the ones in the cinema they sometimes have some really nice designs. I like the funny ones it could almost be a joke book? I dunno I'm grasping at straws here I think!

    Don't know if this has been posted but just to let you know you can buy the cd's with the number one's from every year you were born with a card quite
    cheaply from either moonpig or funky pigeon - one of the one line card companys. i did it for my niece's 21st and i searched on line for a discount voucher - think i only paid about £2 in the end with postage.
