Gamers worldwide love the RAT Mouse. If you think that, by this age, people no longer play, it means you don’t know how exciting some games are for all ages!
25. Old Shanghai Women’s Silk Kimono

This is a great gift for 30-year-old women and wives. We love it because it is a piece of clothing that is not just the regular dress girls buy each other. It comes with a little “special” feature on the side.
You know that a lot of women secretly dreams of looking like those actresses in the movies who wake up in the morning looking all fresh, perfect hair, perfect make-up. Well, that’s not the case in real life. In real life, you can buy your 30-something girlfriend or wife this long, silk, hand-painted, classy kimono and sing “She’s a lady” every time you see her wearing it.
24. Kikkerland Magnetic Decision Maker
Purchase link:
Sometimes, people in their 30s have a hard time making decisions. Should I change the job or not? Maybe I should move? Should I go on with this relationship? What am I supposed to do in this, and that situation? These are tough decisions to make, ones that usually imply a lot of thinking, pondering, negotiating, and even taking risks.
However, we all have a 30-something buddy who can’t decide upon anything, from what to wear to where to go to dinner. This is a funny gift for an undecided boyfriend who just needs a push. Just push the ball and wait for the answer. Incredible tool to learn pendulum and magnetism related physics too.

21. Dragonpad Cash Maze Puzzle Box
Purchase link:
This is a gift card wrapping box that makes the receivers work for their money or their cards. We consider it one of the smartest gifts for 30-year-old friends, as it is a piggy bank with a twist. Men and women in their 30s should remember to save some money for more difficult days. The money can be withdrawn only if somebody solves the maze.
This is a secure deposit box, and it will make many think twice before raiding it to spend the cash on things they don’t actually need. If you have a 30-something friend who’s a bit of a spender, this might be a great gift idea for him or her.
