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!

It can be difficult for a man and woman to live together. When the man doesn’t do anything around the house and the woman keeps complaining. There are many prejudices about both sexes. But what happens when a man and a woman move in together? We have tips for peaceful coexistence.

Women are the “weaker sex” and talk a lot throughout the day. Men, on the other hand, switch off at the constant rattling. Given the prejudices, living together should be impossible. Below we have tips for harmonious coexistence and at the same time eliminating gender prejudices.

The difference between the sexes

There are many books, theories, and studies that analyze the differences between men and women. Less serious film in which many prejudices are celebrated and expanded so that they become typical clichés. But where do the differences between the sexes begin and how do the prejudices arise?

The different gender roles

It starts in childhood: the boys have to play with cars and the girls with dolls. But the situation is different. Girls like to climb trees just as much as boys do. And many guys are not even interested in cars, they are creative and prefer to paint. Many years ago, an invisible power ruled over the role models for men and women. Also, read the facts and prejudices about men and women.

Gender roles 100 years ago

Society dictated how the sexes had to look and act—those who didn’t fit the picture were forced to change. More than 100 years ago, it was perfectly normal for all interests to focus on the husband. At that time, women and girls could not live out their interests, but had to support the “stronger sex”.

The modern image of women leads to changes

Today, the position of women in the western world is different: women have almost the same opportunities to enjoy great success in both their professional and private lives. Although women often earn less than an equal man, society has accepted that men and women are equal. The situation is different in other countries: in Japan, for example, many women give up their careers around the age of 25 to have children and devote time to their families. While the man earns the “daily bread”, they stay at home, take care of the household and the children and manage the household budget.

In the West, on the other hand, these “given” roles are absent, it seems much more as if the future of the genders is a question of education. In families where traditional gender roles are firmly anchored, they are also passed on to the children. Conversely, there are families who raise their children freely and where men appreciate the everyday life of housewives. It’s normal there for Dad to wash the dishes while Mom enjoys a glass of wine in front of the TV. On the other hand, some things happen unconsciously: Media such as television and the Internet, but also friends, acquaintances, and teachers influence children so that their development and thus their opinion on gender roles is hardly predictable.

3 tips for living together

No matter how a person has developed, both sides have to learn how to deal with the opposite sex. Here are some tips for those who have just moved in together or will do so in the foreseeable future:
