30th Birthday Poll: Would you rather have a big bash to celebrate, or a "big" gift instead?

I've been asked this a few times from my family, and I was wondering what you guys thought. My 30th is on December 13th, so I have time to decide Chat Icon lol...

If you had the choice to pick something as a "big" gift, what would it be?


ETA - PS - Sorry if this sounds superficial, because I'm definitely not. I wouldn't want any harassing FMs or anything. lol...

I voted for big party, because I love spending time with friends and family more than any material things. It's just my way, I love entertaining and just spending time with others.

I was going through the same option for my 35Chat Icon... Big party or big gift..

I am opting for a nice gift which will be a tennis braceletChat Icon

I told my husband that we will go out to dinner with a couple of friends and he can give me a party for my 40thChat Icon

Being that you are talking about a 30th b-day I would so love a BIG trip over a party. Now if you were reffering to a wedding I would take a party over the gift.

It depends on who is planning. If my mom was planning I would LOVE a party. If it was DH planning, a gift is better.

DH tried to plan a 30th for me this year and he forgot so many people and others were away. It ended up being about 6 peopleChat Icon

Or a maxed out relaxing day at a spa.

I'd say GIFT!!!
Party's IMO are for kids or when you're like 80.
Most of my friends and I all turned 30 at the same time. Why have a party for 1?
All our husbands bought us a day at the spa. All the "30" girls went together and had such an AWESOME day!!! That was the best gift ever!!!

when I turned 30my family threw me a surprise party...while I appreciated it greatly I really would have rather not had one..i am not one for the center of attention thing...and 30 was a really hard time for me personally and I did not feel much like celebrating.. so I guess I would have rathered just a gift..
