What do I want for my 30th birthday?

From memory I got nothing (my fault apparently for not choosing something to ask for), I'll be honest I'd struggle to recommend it.
 
When it comes to being asked about gifts, I've started saying things that I could do with a bit of added pressure to actually use. So, some gym gear/part of a subscription could be a thing if you've been meaning to do it but "haven't got round to it" yet, or if you currently pay your own but don't use it as often as you should. It will be a good way of putting pressure on yourself to actually use it, rather than if you just pay for it. I don't do it for that but I've had some decent success in asking for study resources/exam vouchers for IT certifications. When you're not feeling like studying on a particular day, it can help knowing that someone else paid for it and supplies that little extra incentive to crack on. I'm not sure if you work in IT but it could be an option depending on your career.

Certainly beats being bought some random tat that you'll never use and feeling bad for sticking it in a drawer for 5 years before giving it to charity.
 
Ear plugs so you can ignore all the oldies telling you that your youth is over :p

Could do an experience day, flying lesson or track day perhaps. If you do, get one with some decent air / track time.
