 30 year old birthday party gift 
I just got an invitation to a friend's 30th birthday party.  The invitation says "your presence is the only gift desired".  I still feel like I should bring something though.  What does everybody think?  Also, what do you give for this type of occasion?

 Re: 30 year old birthday party gift 
I just threw my husband a surprise 30th - he got lots of gift cards to home depot and some gift certificates to a couple of our favorite restaurants - maybe that is an idea...

 Re: 30 year old birthday party gift 
I would feel funny not bringing anything. A gift card to a restaurant sounds like a good idea or, if you want to do something on a smaller scale, how about a pix frame with the number 30 on it?

 Re: 30 year old birthday party gift 
We just went to one for a friend and everone gave gift cards which was perfect because no one knew who spent more or less or anything other than a card for that matter

  i agrees, this way in case no one else brought a gift you won't feel funny walking in with a big box.  A gift card is always a great idea.

 Re: 30 year old birthday party gift 
I think I'm going to bring a bottle of champagne and an AmEx gift check.  
  Can somebody recommend a nice champagne that isn't horribly expensive?

  Cordon Negro is my favorite. Also, Cooks is inexpensive.
