Around the beginning of the year, I decided that I wanted to give my husband 30 gifts for 30 years. One gift for each year of his life so far.
This birthday present has been months in the making and I’ve been working on a list of gifts since the start of the year. I’ve asked friends for suggestions and even called upon the help of Google.

It was really hard coming up with 30 different yet useful things. Let’s just say I’m just glad that I didn’t wait until he was 40 to do this! I did my best to try to find things that were useful, but I ended up needing quite a few gag gifts. I also did my best to keep track of how much each item cost because I was curious what the total might be.

I was originally going to give him a gift voucher for the Apple Watch so he could pick out the one he wanted. However, once the series 3 was released he decided that he really wanted one. I had no choice but to reveal that was what I was going to buy one for his birthday. He chose the one he wanted then I ordered it online.

It was quite a feat to wrap the 30 gifts for 30 years but it was well worth it. The dining table was covered in gifts and what a spectacular sight it was. My husband was so surprised by all the gifts and the amount of effort involved. Judging by my husband’s reaction, it was a good choice not to go with a different birthday gift.
