Wondering how to spend your next birthday? We have a few great tips to make it worthwhile. These ideas will get you to connect with loved ones and satisfy your creative side in meaningful ways.
Really, just hear yourself out. Writing (Journaling) or vlogging to your future self can prove to be invaluable.
Set aside time during your Birthday month to reflect on the outcome of past years’ decisions, list your longings and aspirations, and tell yourself how you really feel. Then tuck it away with a cautionary note “DO NOT OPEN UNTIL NEXT BIRTHDAY” and save it in an inconspicuous place. It could be a handwritten letter, self-recorded video or audio message. Any which way, this blast from the past will not only give you perspective in hindsight but surprisingly offer you some revelation with foresight.
The most commonly named keepsake hoarded by Americans is a birthday card according to a Minted survey. Turns out the average American has 17 greeting cards saved from over the years. Whether you’re overly sentimental or you guilt-trip over throwing out greeting cards you’re not alone. Here’s two simple ways to upcycle tradition during your next birthday gathering.
- Create and publish a photo book of images and memoirs of the past year and leave a few blank pages at the end before you send it off to print. Those last few pages will serve as a canvas for friends to leave an autographed birthday message to you.
- Purchase a high quality, leather bound notebook with perhaps a custom engravement for yourself, a child or loved one. Take this book out each year and have it circulate between close friends and family to add birthday messages for each new year. In time, it becomes an archive of sentimental messages from those unforgotten.
Stick with us, we’re still on topic here. Think back to the very first moment you met your parents…it was at birth. And well, we can all agree it was love at first sight, why not commemorate that monumental moment with an anniversary lunch or dinner to show mom and dad how much they really mean to you. Heck, it may just bump your status up to being the favorite.
Celebrate the ones you love with style and ease.
