Fiancées 30th birthday this week. Struggling for ideas on what to give her on the day. So far, I have:
- flowers (pink and cream roses)
- a beach holiday booked - she doesn't know yet but it's in the later half of the year
So something memorable to give her on the birthday would be nice.

just a rethorical question, is she really into all the cheesy stuff or is it what you believe needs to be "done"?

You're about to marry her so you should know what she likes.
None of us even know her lol

She really appreciates the cheesy stuff but she doesn't expect it. Normally, she's just happy to spend time together (which is why I've booked a holiday away). But I thought some sort of physical momento would be nice as well as the holiday.

A card with a massive '30 today' badge?
Alternatively, how about a photo album to put in putures from the holiday.

Put in some pictures from your X years together with space for the holiday. SWMBO loves the slushy stuff and went nuts over one I did

+1 Even better is if you write up the contents of the album yourself, stick in memorabilia, like your first cinema or concert ticket stubs etc.

Not knowing her it's difficult to say without reducing it to generic stuff. That said what about: Marshmallows: https://boomf.com/Charm/Bracelet (you can add a charm to it at other significant events): http://www.thomassabo.com/GB/en_GB/charmclub/charm-clubMix Tape Pillow: http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/personalized-mixtape-pillow_________________Twitter Blogflickr

Just a note from Earth… Don't make a rod for your back. Something thoughtful and inexpensive will be the ticket. You just don't want to go to the place where every time is better than the last. Or worse still not as 'awesome' as the last.
