How to Spoil Someone on Their Birthday

Birthdays are special occasions that should be celebrated, and if you have an important person in your life that you want to shower with love on their birthday, there are a few ways you can spoil them. Whether you’re planning to spend the day with them or want to send a token of your love from afar, here are a few ideas to help you show them just how special they are to you.

Plan a Surprise Birthday Party

Not everyone loves surprises, but it is nice when someone thinks to get your nearest and dearest together for a celebration on your birthday. If you want to give them a birthday to remember, organizing a surprise party could be the perfect way to do this. It will require some careful planning, but it will all be worth it to see the look on their face when they walk in! You can message the guests by creating a private chat on social media or apps like WhatsApp if you have everyone’s numbers and do this at least a month in advance to make sure everyone can RSVP in time and make any necessary travel arrangements, and so on. If you don’t have the budget to hire a venue for this event, host the party at your house instead if suitable.

Take Them Out for the Day

If you want to do a more intimate style celebration, you could always take them out for the day instead. Start by going somewhere nice for a birthday breakfast or brunch, and then you could do some shopping, go and see a show, or even a lovely hike in the countryside if the weather is nice and they enjoy outdoor activities like this. Experience days are another option, such as going on an organized tour, doing a cooking masterclass, or even doing these outdoor birthday photoshoot ideas we recommend. You could even do something like an escape room for some birthday fun, or crazy golf if you think this is an activity that they would enjoy.

Send a Birthday Hamper

If you aren’t able to spend their birthday with them because you live far away, or you have other commitments that day, look at some birthday hampers and arrange to have one sent to them instead. This is always a lovely gift to receive, and there is a big variety of what you can choose to include in the hamper. Many people choose food hampers filled with tasty treats, or perhaps even some nice wines or gin. However, birthday hampers are not limited to this, so finding one that is full of items they will love and that suits your budget should be easy.

A Weekend Getaway

If you have a bigger budget to work with and you want to do something truly special, taking them away for a weekend trip to an exciting city, or a gorgeous spa in the countryside somewhere could be the ideal way to spoil them on their birthday. It will certainly be a birthday to remember, and you can both spend some quality time with each other as well.

If you want to spoil someone special on their birthday this year, consider the suggestions above and see how well these gifts and experiences will achieve that.
