Frequently asked questions

What do you write in a 30th birthday card for a friend?

Tease them about the decade, then say something you actually mean. A shared memory from your twenties in the middle does most of the work.

What's a good 30th birthday gift under £15?

A funny candle or a pin badge alongside the card. Small, used every day, and far better received than another bottle of gin.
