Turning 30 is a milestone that has no one single trajectory. At 30, you might find yourself married with children, caring for parents, celebrating single life with your friends, or maybe traveling solo. The unifying message for those entering a new decade of adulthood is that while one chapter is closing, the next one will bring a growing career, shifting personal style, and new relationships.

On the brink of such a shift, trying to find the best 30th birthday gift for a friend, partner, or family member may not feel like the easiest task. Boil it down to its simplest form, and all you really need to do is make sure that almost-30 someone special feels cared for and loved.

Whether that means showering them with luxury gifts, the gift of traveling somewhere relaxing, or celebrating with an activity (or meal) that they’ll love—well, that part is up to you. Try to consider their personal interests and aesthetic when narrowing down exactly what’s the right choice for that someone special in question. As they embark on a new era in life, choose a present that will not only remind them of you, but also that the best is still to come. After all, 30 is the new 20, so give them a gift that’s worthy of the occasion.

Ahead, find the 43 best 30th birthday gift ideas to help you get started in your search, from luxe beauty products, to tech gifts, to travel gifts for their next big adventure.
