30th Birthday Gifts

One of the most popular traditional birthday gifts is jewellery.  

Jewellery for a 30th birthday may include a set of earrings or a ring featuring their birthstone, or a piece from our pendant bar collection that suits their personality. An initial pendant or a mini heart pendant from Michael Hill's Infinitas Collection is playful yet elegant, while an infinity pendant symbolises an unbreakable bond. Watches are always a timeless gift, connecting the past, present and future while embodying a lifetime of memories.  

As with a 30th wedding anniversary, the traditional gemstone for a 30th birthday is pearl. Symbolising wisdom, patience and calm, pearl jewellery is the perfect gift for those who appreciate classic elegance. Gift your loved one a 30th birthday necklace of pearls or give this traditional gemstone a modern feel with a cuff bangle, threader pearl earrings or a baroque pearl pendant.

From designs that speak to her personality, to those that capture celebration, there’s plenty to discover when it comes to unique 30th birthday gift ideas for her. 

Simple, minimalist pendants, bracelets and rings are popular with those looking for a timeless 30th birthday gift for her. Show your love with a ruby pavé heart pendant or carefully chosen gemstone ring featuring her birthstone or favourite colour.

Or surprise her with a new watch in a stylish yet contemporary twist on the traditional timepiece. Choose an elegant watch with diamond accents, a skeleton watch and those that showcase romantic tones like rose gold.

Personalised 30th birthday gifts are also a unique idea. With jewellery from Michael Hill’s personalised range, add an affectionate touch by inscribing a symbol or set of initials on a locket, complete with a special photo inside. Or, engrave her name on a bar necklace or bracelet.

For a gift that's uniquely him, discover jewellery gifts that suit his personal style.

Choose from stylish and meaningful pieces, such as a cross necklace or a contemporary black diamond pendant in a distinctive shape. Other items like dog tags and signet rings are timeless and popular, and can be inscribed with a name, a significant date or a symbol. 

Having his gift engraved will make it feel truly one of a kind, with Michael Hill offering a range of engravables for that stylish yet sentimental touch. 

Other unique 30th birthday present ideas for him may include a stylish timepiece that combines the technical capabilities of a sports watch with the classical elegance of a dress watch. Choose a solar watch for the adventure seeker or surprise the man with a unique sense of style with a sophisticated two-tone chronograph watch. 

With a range of styles perfect for his collection, these pieces are versatile enough to be worn by everyone no matter their personal aesthetic.
