The Ideal birthday present for someone turning 30

The years ending with ’0′ have always been deemed a ‘big year’. (with the exception of turning 21). It’s the end of a decade; a chance to look back at your achievements and look forward with high hopes and expectations.

It’s also a chance to give and receive gifts. Turning 30, 40, 50, 60, 70,80, 90 and 100 are all years worth celebrating. Each one a milestone in themselves.

Buying gifts for someone turning 30 can be a strain. They generally have enough resources to buy themselves what they want. The ideal present: A personalised number plate. Regardless of car type, make or model, a personalised number plate could just be the right birthday present.

And who is turning 30 this year?

Kate Middleton

What a decade the Duchess of Cambridge had. Her twenties saw her date her prince charming, finish university with an MA in Arts History and become a Princess and the future queen of England.

She has won the heart of the global public with her sense of style and connection with the general public. Buying gifts for the former Ms Middleton will be hard. But she does drive so how about the following as a personalised number plate:

Anthony Caleb Followill

The Kings of Leon front-man who rocked Ireland’s Slane Castle last summer turns 30. With nine Top 40 singles and two Brit Awards, Caleb can celebrate his 30^th in style. What about this personalised number plate for a gift for this singer-songwriter:

Jessica Biel

The beautiful American actress, model and singer turns 30 in March. She is well-known for her role of Mary Camden in long-running TV show 7^th Heaven. She stared in some heavy-weight Hollywood films including Summer Catch, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Illusionist and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry with Adam Sandler.

So what will Justin Timberlake, her newly engaged finance will buy her for the 30^th? Perhaps a personalised number plate such as the following:

Kelly Clarkson

The American Idol singer certainly enjoyed her 20′s. Winning the show in 2002 launched her to superstardom. What do you get a woman who has two Grammy Awards, three MTV Video Music Awards, four American Music Awards and a Women’s World Award? 

Her own personalised number plate:

 Normal folk

Celebs are in the newspapers constantly but as you and I both know, up and down the streets of UK and Northern Ireland, there are boys and girls turning 30 throughout 2012. It’s a big year for them too, even if they don’t live the public eye.

Buying a personalised number plate to celebrate their past achievements and hopes for the future is the ideal gift. Nothing else quite says you’re unique, than a personalised number plate. Some ideas to include on their personalised number plate include:

•  Think names
•  Think hobbies
•  Think year of birth

And for those of us who are a little older than 30, the people turning 30 were born in 1982.

So as we celebrate royal 30^th birthdays, take some time to think what you’ll get your special person on this important year.

Officials from the DVLA have banned number plates such as SC12 OTM and VA61 NA*. They are also banning PE12 VRT (pervert)

DVLA officials have drawn up a blacklist of questionable registration numbers, including PE12 VRT (pervert) and PA12 EDO (paedo).

They will omit the following list of number plates:

 (Drugy)

HE12 ON* (Heroin)

 (Drunk)

 (Koran)

 (Terror)

 (Murder)

 (Martyr)

The DVLA are trying to identify combinations that may cause offence, however on the rare occasion where potentially offensive numbers slip through the net, steps are taken to withdraw the registration number.

Can you think of any other combinations that might be banned?

When you`re searching for a cherished number plate costs can be an issue at times with some items fetching many thousands of pounds.  Even buying new plates direct from the DVLA isn`t always the best option so where should you look for the best possible prices?

The market for personalised number plates has grown steadily over the years and that has seen a number of online brokers emerge looking for your business. A simple internet search will now bring a wide choice of outlets that are looking to sell these plates and as you would expect, each of them claim to be the cheapest around.

It is certainly true that you may get a bargain by searching through these lists but it`s advisable to check as many as you possibly can before making a decision.

One of the features of the traditional classified press was a section devoted to the sale of personalised plates. It`s important when you`re looking for any sort of purchase not to ignore these publications and a quick check in periodicals such as Exchange and Mart or Daltons Weekly should also give you a number of options.

Online classified sites are, of course, another good option and a thorough search of the most popular ones will provide you with some choices.

Moving on to auction sites, it`s certainly worth performing a search for cherished and personalised number plates on the usual online sites. However, it`s always worthwhile looking away from the main ones as you may well find a bargain elsewhere. There are literally hundreds of online auction sites so if you have the time to search, the smaller ones may offer the most competitive prices.

Some buyers are put off by the DVLA`s prices for their new number plates and this is where your initials appear on a standard 2010 or 2011 plate. They are not particularly distinctive and with prices from around several hundred pounds, they can be cost prohibitive too.

However, the DVLA sell other plates directly too and depending on the combination of letters and numbers, prices can be more favourable in many cases. Some sell for as little as £300. The DVLA also hold regular auctions where plates fetch a very wide range of prices so check on their website for the latest dates and find out which are available. If you see something you like, online bidding is possible if you aren`t able to attend in person.

It`s impossible to pin down individual prices on number plates as the cost involved depends on a number of factors. Firstly, as we`ve seen, prices vary greatly depending on the outlet you use while some combinations of letters and numbers will cost you more than others. For example, A1 ABC would be far more expensive than A483 ABC.

Ultimately, cherished number plates can cost as little or as much as you`re willing to pay: If you want something fairly standard, it will cost you a few hundred pounds while you would need to check a loans calculator  if you`re prepared to pay the many thousands of pounds that some of the more distinctive plates can fetch.

With over 31 million vehicles on the road, it’s hard to stand out and be unique. One way to show your individuality is to use a personalised number plate.

A personalised number plate is just that – a plate that signifies something personal to you. You simply remove the assigned number plate that comes with your car and you add on your own plate.

Anyone these days can get a personalised number plate. Previously personalised number plates were generally associated with the rich and famous but those days are gone.

There are a number of reasons why personalised number plates have grown in popularity over the past several years. Investment, fun and branding come to mind straightaway. But the one I wanted to talk to you today about was fun.

Give a unique gift this Christmas

You don’t have to have a number plate that makes sense to everyone else. You can have something that makes you smile everytime you get into the car. e.g., you could use something like DO57 COW for your girlfriend perhaps or MS61 TCH for your mother in law.

Personalised private numbers make great fun gifts, instead of the usual perfume or jewelery. So this Christmas, plan on giving a gift of individuality or uniqueness to your friends and family.

Pay using a few methods

The beauty of the personalised number plate as a gift is that you have a variety of ways to pay for it. And this Christmas, that means a lot to cash-strapped people.

Cash

Everyone loves cash. Business owners know that getting cash today means that they can pay their bills tomorrow. Christmas shoppers know that they can walk away with a gift, knowing there is no debts to be paid after Christmas. It suits some people.

Credit card

Credit card has pros and cons aswell. All the major suppliers of personalised cards accept credit card. It’s a good way to pay for Christmas presents, as long as you know there is a bill waiting to be paid after the festive season.

Finance

Have you ever found the right present but it was just a teeny bit out of your budget? An alternative to paying with cash or credit is to pay using finance. Finance isn’t new; it’s just a new way to pay for a personalised number plate. The term that is regularly used is ‘Buy Now, Pay Later‘.

Some suppliers will let you buy a registration plate now and you can pay for it after a set period, say, 6 months or 12 months.

Generally speaking, you can avail of ‘Buy Now, Pay Later‘ on a set amount, so that means, it’s not available on really low priced items.

You simply apply for finance with your supplier and you’ll know within a day or two that you’ve secured the finance or not. It can ease a Christmas shopping burden.

Talk with an approved registration provider to get more information. But with various payment options, buying the right personalised plate for Christmas is within your budget.
