• Gifts for a man's 30-year-old birthday should tailor his lifestyle.birthday image by Albert Lozano from Fotolia.com
  
  A man's 30th birthday is a turning point in his life. For most 30-year-old men, it is the time when he has taken on more responsibility, such as marriage, raising a family and running a household. However, turning 30 is nowhere near older birthday milestones and the gifts you give to men on this occasion should remind them that there is still a long road of life ahead. Since no two 30-year-old men are the same, you should examine his lifestyle before going out and purchasing a gift for his birthday.
  
  

A Night on the Town

• Just because the man on the birthday present list is getting older, it does not mean that he cannot enjoy a night out on the town. Tickets to sporting events -- whatever sport he is a fan of -- could be a birthday present from his male friends or male relatives. A bar crawl and survey of nightclubs could follow the sporting event. The man's girlfriend or wife can take him out on the town for dinner, a movie and dancing.
  
  

A Trip Out of Town

• Everyone needs an occasional change of scenery, and there is no better time to get away than to celebrate a birthday. For the single 30-year-old man that enjoys life in the fast lane, a trip to Las Vegas, New Orleans, Miami, and other party cities are gift options that close male friends and male relatives, such as brothers and fathers, can give as a birthday present. A wife or girlfriend could plan a romantic couple's getaway trip to a romantic island, such as Hawaii or a snow ski resort town, such as Vail, Colorado.
  
  

Electronics

• For the 30-year-old man who cannot live without the latest technology, the gift options are endless. Since cell phone technology is constantly changing, he will flip over a new smart phone that will allow him to search the Internet, check his email, send text messages, take pictures and use other features. As of October 2010, the latest technology in home movies was Blu-ray disc players. To go with a Blu-ray disc player, package it with a high-definition, flat-screen television. For the 30-year-old birthday boy, who already has a smart phone, Blu-ray disc player or high-definition television, purchasing accessories for these electronic gadgets is also an option.
