    Hi ILites,

    Recently we celebrated my DH's 30th bday and thinking about gifting, I wanted something special. So I searched a lot in IL and net. As my wishlist kept on increasing, I decided to gift him 30 gifts for his 30 years.

    So here is the list, so that someone in need of a long list may get benefitted.

    1) Ponniyin Selvan - Novel full set
    2) Personalised bday wish handwritten from close family and friends in A4 sheet
    3) An electric shaver set
    4) 12X18 photo lamination of a photo of us which he likes most
    5) A new perfume
    6) Travel gear bag to store toiletries and charger etc
    7) A retro handset for mobiles with stand, designed like an old landline telephone set
    8) A mini battery fan
    9) A poster of 2 of his close buddies with him - titled 3 Idiots
    10) A personalized magazine cover with his photo and some wordings
    11) A photo of us converted to oil painting and enlarged
    12) Fastrack watch
    13) A gift voucher from beauty salon
    14) A day outing at kart racing - Go kart
    15) Photo Collage of close family members made as a lamination(my parents and siblings, his parents and siblings and their spouse and children)
    16) Learn Hindi through Tamil - basic book
    17) A drawing sketch book with pencil and charcoal art set. He does pencil sketching
    18) An empty notebook to write all his poems and gift it back to me on my bday. :thumbsup
    19) Enrollment to a course, which is his passion and loves it
    20) Hundial - Shaped as laughing buddha
    21) 30 Love coupons designed by me
    22) Jaguar shaped keychain for his bike
    23) Nameplate of us to hang in front door
    24) Keyholder for hanging keychains
    25) A kurta to wear for jeans
    26) A hanging shelf with 10 pouches - to hang in his cupboard to organize some things
    27) Foot massager spa from croma
    28) A jigsaw puzzle
    29) A 3 tier plastic storage box for keeping small things like purse, bills, receipts, in cupboard
    30) Last but not least - A love letter with mushy mushy wordings and also told him my true feelings about him in that.

    First I wanted to do a treasure hunt kind of thing and let him find out all the gifts by himself. But then he came late from office and was tired and tensed because of office work. So I gave him each gift when he was opening the previous one.

    He was shocked to see so many gifts. Though he scolded me for getting so many gifts, he was also happy on the other hand that I had taken so much effort to organize things like this.

    His choice of best gift was the bday wish from family and friends.

    Here is the click of some of the gifts packed. Could not take with all the gifts as I thought of taking picture at the last moment and all the gifts were in their hiding place for tresure hunt.
