Almost every 30 something friend I have uses and likes a nice bag. Of course the bag for the 30 year old lady you are buying for will depend on what they use a bag for most. Are they sporty, do they need a bag for the gym? Are they a working professional? What about a nice laptop bag? Are they a mother? Would a new diaper bag suit them.

I love the Mobile Edge handbag opposite, great for a stylish work bag..

Women like to look good at 30 so anything that will aid in making them look and feel good is always a good gift idea.

Vouchers for manicures, facials and spa days are great for pampering and for helping women feel and look good and will almost always be appreciated. Or why not book her in at her favorite hair salon.

Gadgets for aiming women to look and feel good on a day to day basis such as flat hair irons, curling irons and hairdryers make good gifts. Also nice shampoos and conditioners, their favorite make up, perfume and expensive moisturiser make nice gift ideas too. Of course, don't buy them items they don't need or don't have.

Many 30 year old women love reading magazines so a subscription to their favorite magazine would make a much appreciated gift. 

30 year old women will love days out or a weekend away for a birthday treat or other gift. If she's a sporty girl why not book a day out trying a new exciting sport, bungee jumping, paintball, pony treking etc.

If she would like a more relaxing option, a weekend away in a nice hotel would be a perfect present.

If you are short of money, why not treat her to a nice relaxing day at home. Cook her a meal, do all the housework, look after the kids and give her a day off!

There are lots of specific gifts you can buy for women on their 30th birthdays. What about getting some music from the year they were born? Or buy them gifts with a 30 theme such as 30 different chocolates or 30 pairs of socks or a £30 gift voucher. What about a t-shirt with the number 30 on it? Or what about the book opposite to help them get advice on turning 30. .

If you're looking to splash your cash there are lots of tech gifts and gadgets that 30 year old women will love. Here are some ideas:

• Ipad - I think an ipad is on the top of a lot of people's gift lists whatever their age.
• Cell phone - A nice smart phone with the ultimate being an iphone is another top gift
• MP3 player - An mp3 player may be appreciated by the music lover especially if they walk or run a lot and like to listen to music while they do it.
• Speakers - Another good gift for the music lover. Some good music speakers for their home.
• Television
• DVD player
• Computer, netbook or laptop

A 30 year old woman may also appreciate a digital camera so she can take photos of family and friends. The Panasonic Lumix is a good choice with excellent reviews.

This is what I got for Christmas last year.

Another thing on a 30 year old woman's wish list may be an amazon kindle. It will allow you to download books to read instantly and you can get a kindle which has free wireless internet too.

This is what I'm getting for Christmas 2011!

If you know a sporty 30 year old women, some equipment or clothing for her favorite sport will be appreciated. If she likes to work out at home or would like to start working out at home, what about getting a fitness DVD. Or what about a sports bag? Other sports gifts ideas include:

30 year old women like to look good and clothing and accessories can make nice gifts. Of course, if your not sure what to buy a gift voucher is a good choice. Or take the 30 year old women out for a days shopping so she can choose what she likes herself. 

Accessories are easier to buy than clothes. Ideas include purses, hats, gloves, scarves, sunglasses or jewelry. Pajamas and nightwear are also easier to buy. 

A digital photo frame makes a great gift for 30 year old women, especially if you put photos of her family, friends and other special people on her life on it ready to go.
