How to Make Someone’s Birthday Extra Special
If you’re like most people, then you’ll have a lot of birthdays in your life. Friends, family, colleagues, friends of friends — it feels like there’s never too much time in between having to celebrate someone’s big day!
Of course, while you’ll want to make an effort for the birthday of everyone in your life, some people deserve a little more than others. If someone is deeply important to you, then there’s no better time to show it than on their birthday!
In this post, we’ll run through a few handy ideas on how you can make the birthday of that special person in your life all the more memorable.
Free Your Day
In an age when we’re all busier than ever, giving someone your undivided attention is about the best gift you can give them. If their birthday falls on a weekend, then make sure you have nothing else in the schedule on that day — you might want to watch a big game involving your favorite sports team, but if that’s not something that they’d want to do, then skip it. There aren’t too many days when you give someone else your full attention, but a birthday should be one of them!
Get a Great Gift
Whether it’s a new item of clothing, travel adventure, or something related to their hobby, the special person in your life will always appreciate receiving a thoughtful gift that they genuinely enjoy.
Throw In a Surprise
Giving your loved one a great gift will go a long way towards making their big day pretty special. But if you want to guarantee that they’ll have a birthday that they’ll remember forever, then look at throwing in a surprise or two. For instance, you could use an African birthday wish service to send them a personalized birthday video. Or you could get in touch with a long-lost friend or family member of theirs and organize a phone call. Another option is to organize a surprise birthday party — just make sure that they would actually want a birthday party; just because you would, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they will!
Cook Their Favorite Meal
There’s one thing better than eating your favorite meal on your birthday, and that is: eating your favorite meal without having to lift a finger! If you’re a whizz in the kitchen and you’re sure you can do justice to their favorite dish, then grab the ingredients you need to prepare a great meal. If you don’t think that you can make the meal to the highest of standards, then make a reservation at a restaurant.
Let Them Know How Special They Are
Finally, you can make their birthday extra special by letting them know how special they are. Being there with them on their birthday is a great opportunity to give them the special treatment that they deserve. Of course, you should remind them of their awesomeness throughout the year, too, but their birthday is a chance to go all out and really make a fuss.
