All work and no play...
If your professional 30-year-old is a hardworking father, on the fast track for promotion -- working long hours with little "me" time is probably a fact of his daily schedule. Search for a gift that will make his life more enjoyable. Don't just enter a retail store and head to the men's department. Consider his interests, hobbies and lifestyle. Select a gift that will make his hectic life less stressful and more enjoyable.
Gym Membership
Exercise relieves stress.
Pay ahead an existing gym membership for your man, or sign him up for a monthly membership at a nearby gym. Pay for a year, a few months, or whatever your budget can handle. Many professional men struggle with fitting in time for much-needed physical activity. The weekend pick-up game of basketball or an occasional non-scheduled run simply won't keep him in shape as increasing age causes the metabolism to slow. However, continuing physical activity and strength training in particular will combat the slowdown of the metabolism and keep him feeling young.
Electronic
Give the gift of entertainment.
Go electronic. Some electronic gifts will cost as little as $100, while others are very expensive. If you have a good idea of what he already has, give him something to supplement existing electronics. If your funds are running a bit low, simply purchase a music download gift card and load it with a comfortable amount of MP3s. If you have more funds at your disposal, an MP3 player, a large screen TV or a home stereo system would be appropriate electronic entertainment gifts. Good work-related electronic gifts would be an external hard drive or iPad.
"Me" Time
Great weather and a day of golf -- a great combination.
Give your man a weekend out with the guys or a relaxing weekend at home without disturbance. Give him the gift of 18 holes of golf or a little fishing time. Let him enjoy his weekend at home, if he prefers. Load the refrigerator with several meals he can heat up and stock the cabinet with plenty of snack foods. Take the kids out for a treat or go visit grandma for the weekend.
Briefcase
The briefcase is a necessary professional tool.
Virtually every professional today carries a briefcase or attache case. They are used to transport office work or a laptop computer. It is likely that you'll be able to find a briefcase that suits your budget. There are a wide variety of leather briefcases that can range from relatively inexpensive (under $100) to expensive ($3,000). The cost of the case varies depending upon the size of case, the type of leather, the type and presence of lining, the number and size of compartments and other specifics.
