Need the perfect gift for a man in your life who’s turning 30? Leaving your 20s is a big moment in anyone’s life, so we know you’ll want to mark the occasion with the right gift!
Luckily our gift gurus have thought of something to suit every type of guy - from foodies and beer fanatics to the suave style lovers in your life - so you’re sure to find something he’ll love amongst our list of 30th birthday gift ideas for him.
If your 20s are the age of cheap beer, day old pizza and late nights, then your 30s are a nice gourmet goodies and a dinner date with friends. For most of us, the big 3-0 represents a time in our lives where our tastes mature and that we really know what we like, so why not lavish him with the best of the best?
Nothing says 30 and thriving like our Best of Byron Bay Gift Box. With its selection of gourmet snacks, it’s the perfect gift to bring to a party. With sweet and savoury favourites like Byron Bay Cookies, Luken & May Butterburst, Brookfarm Nuts and Wattle Tree Chutney (plus many more!) it’s sure to impress.
Is the guy in your life the classy sophisticated type? If he’s a spirit drinker, then a decanter set makes the perfect 30th birthday gift.
They make a charming addition to any bar set and will help him to elevate the flavour of his favourite liquor. They’re also an elegant conversation piece and a great way to set the mood at a party, so a great choice for a memorable occasion like his 30th birthday.
If you want to make it extra special, you could monogram his name onto the glassware or pair your gift with one of our drink hampers.
Speaking of drink hampers, we can’t recommend the Lord Byron Spice Rum Hamper enough!
Its star piece is a bottle of 12 year old Lord Byron Spiced Rum which is made locally here in Byron Bay. It’s an amazing sipping rum and pure perfect in a dark and stormy thanks to its complex flavour profile.
With hints of oak, vanilla, freshly-pressed cane juice, pipe tobacco, creme brûlée, chocolate and bourbon, it pairs perfectly with a gourmet snack which is why we’ve packed it in alongside delicious goodies like Byron Bay cookies, dark chocolate almonds, maple munchies, crispbreads and jam!
Buying a gift for a beer connoisseur? Then we think he’ll love our Beer & Byron Jerky Gift Baskets! It’s the perfect taste sampler and a great gift for a guy who loves to kick back and enjoy the finer things in life!
There’s a great selection of Australian ales and lagers for him to try inside, as well as flavoursome Byron Beef Jerky which is made from 100% prime Aussie beef. For his sweet tooth, we’ve also included Byron Bay Cookies, Luken & May Butterburst and dark chocolate coated macadamias!
If you’re planning to raise a toast to him on his birthday, then why not do it with a glass of Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial Champagne in your hand?
For big celebrations, our Gourmet Delights Gift Hamper is the perfect gift idea. This hamper pairs a luxe bottle of Moët with gourmet snacks. He’ll love sipping bubbles from a bottle that offers the perfect balance of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay & Pinot Meunier while nibbling on cookies, biscuits and nuts.
Plus, this hamper comes platter-ready! With celery & mustard pickle, capscicum chilli jam and rosemary & seasalt cripsbread included, it’s one of our top choices for foodies!
If the special guy in your life is such a major foodie that a few snacks simply are not going to cut it, then you need the Ultimate Foodies Gift Hamper. It’s packed so full of locally sourced goodies from Byron Bay that it's about to explode!
There’s not one but two flavours of Falwasser’s crunchy crispbreads inside, ready to be paired together with a trio of chutney, jam and pickle from Wattle Tree Creek - plus, there’s great savoury items like Byron Beef Jerky and Brookfarm nuts included.
For men with a sweet tooth, there’s macadamia nuts coated in three kings of chocolate and a honey roasted variety, as well as Bliss Balls, chocolate coated coffee beans and sweet & salty peanuts!
That’s not all either, we’ve also included melt-in-your-mouth Byron Bay Cookies and Butterburst biscuits and a locally made wooden board so that he can create his own platter.
At 30, it’s time to get organised (and stay that way). You can help him to keep track of the contents of his pockets with a wooden docking station.
We love this gift idea because it's practical but stylish. It’s great for a guy who is headed into a new, more grounded phase of adulthood, who likes to keep his space feeling tidy. If he’s moved on from the grimy sharehouse and started to get ahead in his career, then we know he’ll appreciate this. Get him something he’ll use every day and he’ll remember it forever!
