Because When You Turn 30 You’re Old

A friend and I decided that we wanted to put something creative together for a couple of our male friends turning 30 this past weekend. After throwing back a few ideas we finally decided on a basket full of…things…We wanted it to be funny but classy.

We started off with these simple ingredients:

(1) Men’s Health Magazine, added pluses - the gorgeous Zac Efron was on the May issue and who doesn’t go mad over Zac Efron? Male or Female? It had an add for Nuts on the back with the headline “Nut’s Health” which I thought was hilarial. 

(2) Foam bottles of Rogaine, for laughs.

(2) Werther’s Originals, because old people always have these on hand.

(2) Tums with breath freshener, because as we get older we have to get rid of that heartburn that always be creepin up messin with our party style.

(4) On-the-Go, party to poolside, Wine packets. Yeah we totally did and they are awesome.

(6) Dewars liquor bottles, an apparent fave of the 30^th up and comers.

(2) Wallet armbands, because we’re old and we loose stuff, this won’t make it so easy. (thrown in by my twin sissy)

(1) Basket.

Fill the basket with some paper as filler and you got yourself a GIFT!

From the very beginning we wanted to do a 30 shape with pictures. I didn’t have as many as I liked, but I did find some classics and put them into a 30 template (as good as I possibly could). They seemed to like it. I glued that onto a ribbon and tied that around the outside of the basket.

I thought it to be a hit. Even though we waited until much booze was drank, they seemed to be pleased and happy over the sentiment.
