    Perhaps this birthday has already come and gone as the OP posted over 3 months ago and said:
    Hi there. A work colleague is turning 30 very soon 

    This ^^^

    It'a always best to check the date of the original post to ensure you're not necroposting.
  • Charm Bracelets - Pandora or Nomination Italy
    Food or shopping gift vouchers - Just eat or amazon
    Afternoon tea - Loads of local places offer this
    Spa day - If they need to relax
    Ticket master vouchers - For those who love music 
    Home and garden vouchers - For people who have just moved or are renovating this goes a long way

    Sometimes I prefer to take them out for a day, if the person is particularly minimal or they have everything the best gifts are usually experiences :)
