The 30th birthday is absolutely cool and a life-changing experience. Finally grown up and still so young! A great birthday gift would be a holiday together. Because this experience will remain in your memory forever.

Celebrating the 30th birthday

Of course, when the best friend reaches this milestone in her life, she should receive something very special. Some think months in advance about what they could give as a gift, consult and think. Fortunately, the internet is also full of ideas for unusual gifts and unusual experiences. For many, it should be more than a greeting card, a joint dinner, and a party in the local pub. Instead of planning an elaborate party, you can give your mutual friend something very special: a girls’ vacation. Far away from the usual birthday parties, from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This is also a romantic gift idea for couples.

Preparations

The first question that naturally arises is: How does a best friend really tick? Does she like to go shopping? Does she prefer cultural experiences and spends her weekends in museums and exhibitions? Does she prefer to lie in the sun or does she prefer pure action, climbing mountains, running, and jogging through forests and can never get enough of nature? But maybe she also has an everyday life that constantly challenges her and nothing would do her better than a wellness weekend with treatments, silence, body care, soft music, and fine food. Of course, there is the perfect place for every kind of leisure time fun. In cities like London, Rome, or Lisbon, shopping and culture are the focus. On the Mediterranean islands like Sardinia or Mallorca, it’s all about parties and the beach. In the mountains, there are wellness and hiking hotels.

So how about a day or a weekend when all the girls from the clique are there and the focus is on your friend’s favorite hobby? For a short trip of this kind, everyone can donate to a common fund and then go on a bargain hunt.

Together on vacation

How about if everyone stayed together in a luxury holiday home in Sardinia or in a great Finca in Ibiza or Mallorca? Then you could celebrate together in the evening, cook something good and move the entire birthday party to a spot where the sun always shines. Or maybe a hotel in a big metropolis would be a better fit? How about a weekend trip to London, New York City or Milan, for example? These cities offer a combination of shopping paradise and party city and you will definitely not get bored.

However, one point must be clarified: What is the best way to organize such a gift? For this, some research must be done in advance. Questions that arise are, for example:

Travel right on your birthday?

Should you really travel on your birthday? Of course, that depends on whether the best friend really likes surprises. Some women love them. Then you can kidnap your friend on her birthday to her own private party and celebrate where she enjoys life the most. However, if she’s one of those women who prefer to prepare and get nervous easily when there are sudden changes in the course of the day, you should be careful. It is then better to book a holiday or a break for later and give her the planned trip nicely wrapped as a gift.

Who’s joining? Will it be a girl’s trip? Who are your allies and help you plan? Of course, if your girlfriend has a boyfriend, it can also happen that he already has something planned for her birthday. You also have to take these things into account and learn about them.

The organization is half the battle

All these questions have to be clarified because the good organization is half the battle. A few months before your girlfriend’s birthday, you can try subliminally to find out her preferences and wishes if you don’t know them or aren’t quite sure. The next step is to meet with your “allies” and make a battle plan of how, when, and where to travel. The earlier the trip is booked, the cheaper it will be in terms of price. So don’t wait too long to start planning! You should also note other important tips for package tours. Or organize the trip completely on your own. Simply book a flight, choose an apartment and, if necessary, rent a car.

Ultimately, the most important thing is not the destination but the journey and that this is undertaken together. So embark on this journey and enjoy every moment with your best friends!
