Is your loved one’s birthday nearing? Birthdays are exciting for everyone; be it a small 5-year-old or 80-year-old. Birthdays come around each year and every year is a task, making birthdays special.
Getting surprise birthday cakes and having balloons, are ideas that are outdated now. This year find some unique ways to say happy birthday! Make someone’sbirthday special by considering the ideas mentioned below!
A] Hidden message
Surprises never go out of style. Grab some balloons and inflate them; write a heartfelt message on them using a marker and deflate the balloons again. Send these over to the celebrant and let them be surprised as they blow and inflate each balloon. They will cherish your message on the balloon as they keep bopping them. You can also create a jigsaw puzzle that has messages written on it and as the celebrant puts together the puzzle pieces, they’ll be elated by the sweet words.
B] Make a mixed tape
Mixed tapes are a classic gift for someone special. Create a mixed tape for the celebrant’s birthday and incorporate songs that define your relationship with them. You can add their favourite music pieces too! They will enjoy this mixed tape as they go on a road trip! It will give them support and warmth on a lonely night and fill them with joy for a lifetime.
C] Make a video gift
Video gifts are always a good idea. Ever since the pandemic, video gifts have been spreading like wildfire. You can compile a video gift involving all the near and dear ones of the celebrant and send it to them! With video-making tools, the task is even simpler as only one person has to create an account and an invite link; all the others participating simply have to click on the link and film themselves and add photographs. The videos will be organized in one place and you can create a seamless professional video for the celebrant. They will feel loved and cherished. The celebrant can preserve this for a lifetime and watch it every time they feel alone.
D] Pay it forward
Rather than giving something to your friend this year; give to society! If the celebrant is someone who is inclined to do good for society and the environment; you can donate on their behalf! You can donate clothes or books to an orphanage, quilts to an old age home, plant trees or simply stick affirmative notes around the locality! These could be simple notes saying – you’ve got this, you matter, your smile is beautiful and so on! Let the celebrant know you are doing acts of kindness for their birthday or you can even get them to join you! You can also involve other near and dear ones; the more the merrier!
E] Letter parade
A letter parade might require quite some effort on your end but will be a great gift! Approach and connect with all the close friends and family of the celebrant and ask them to jot down a letter that mentions their favourite memory with the celebrant. Compile all these letters in a box and send them over to your friend on their birthday! They will be overwhelmed with joy and happy tears and will treasure the gift forever.
F] Make a hamper
The possibilities when it comes to hampers are endless. You can fill the Hamper with anything and everything the celebrant likes. It could be luxury items, stationery, chocolate, accessories and so on. Create a fancy hamper and send it over to the celebrant with a sweet note on top!
G] Treat them!
Treating the celebrant doesn’t mean only having a birthday cake or food! You can treat the celebrant in several other ways! Get them tickets for a relaxing vacation, get them gift vouchers for their favourite clothing brand, get them a spa membership, a Netflix or Spotify subscription, a massage session and so on! Choose whatever the celebrant prefers and has been talking about, and they will remember this forever!
H] Get them customized gifts
A mug with the picture of you and the celebrant, a watch with their photo, a lamp with their picture and there’s so much more you can do with pictures! Get a customized gift for the celebrant and they will love it! The customization shouldn’t necessarily be of their own photograph; it can be their favourite series, animal, food, classic line or anything they just can’t stop talking about!
I] Cook for them!
The best way into any person’s heart is through food! There’s nothing more sweet than cooking for the celebrant! They will appreciate your efforts! Cook something the celebrant loves to eat. If you are not really good at cooking; order food that the celebrant loves! However; you going out of your way and cooking will add more meaning to it!
You can adapt the ideas mentioned above or plan something out of the box. Lastly; ensure whatever your plan is, it is liked by the celebrant.
So, make the most of your plan and make their birthday special!
