Birthdays are important dates. People celebrate birthdays to mark the day they were born and the start of another year of their lives. From a young age, most people anticipate birthdays and celebrate birthday traditions with their friends and family.

You may shop for several birthdays throughout the year. So whether you’re shopping for your spouse or a work colleague, you can use these tips to make the birthday person’s day special.

Partners

Gift-giving is an essential part of any relationship. Personal presents that your spouse or partner will appreciate make the perfect gifts. For example, your partner may be delighted by a new wheelbarrow full of orchids or sunflower seeds that they can plant. On the other hand, if your partner doesn’t have green fingers, they may prefer something personal such as a music playlist made by you just for them.

Finding the perfect gift for your partner starts with considering their interests and identifying something they don’t have that they’ll value or something they always want more of. For example, if your spouse loves to paint or read, they’ll cherish art supplies or new books. If you want to make a romantic gesture, you could buy your partner lingerie or adult toys.

Children

Children might seem like they’re easy to shop for because there are many gift ideas to choose from, but it’s essential to keep your budget in mind and choose a few select items your child will enjoy. When kids get too many presents, they can feel overwhelmed, and some great gifts may be overlooked.

Remember, when you’re shopping for a toddler, they’re just as likely to be excited by the box as they are by the present. Most kids love balloons and will enjoy a balloon bouquet with an assortment of balloons in different colors. Focus on their specific interests. A remote control car could be a fun option for a boy who loves cars, while a child that loves playing in the dirt might enjoy gardening tools and seeds for growing daisies and sunflowers.

Parents

Although people associate flowers with Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, a bouquet is also an excellent option for a birthday present. Florists make it easy to send flowers for a birthday celebration, and happy birthday flowers can be a great way to surprise any family member.

Florists can create custom bouquets using various flowers, such as daisies, orchids, red roses, carnations, and sunflowers. So whether your mom’s favorite flowers are tulips or daffodils, a florist can create the perfect floral arrangement specifically for her.

If your dad has a green thumb, he may enjoy a new houseplant. You can also surprise Dad with birthday gifts such as pocket knives, watches, and golf clubs.

Siblings

Shopping for siblings can be an opportunity to celebrate their special day by focusing on their hobbies. Perhaps you have a sibling who loves movies or music. You could surprise them with paraphernalia from their favorite movie or tickets from an upcoming concert. Buying them an outfit you’ve had your eye on and plan to borrow will send the wrong message, but choosing a gift they’ll appreciate is a great way to celebrate their birthday.

Employees

Buying for employees can be tricky so you must consider appropriate gift-giving etiquette. Gifts for employees are usually impersonal and can be given to the employee in public. A fruit basket is a great option for an employee’s birthday celebration because it provides essential items that they can use. You could also consider giving employees a gift card on their birthday.

Coworkers

Some workplaces encourage coworkers to buy gifts. For example, perhaps you take turns and buy breakfast treats such as donuts or muffins to celebrate staff birthdays. You could also opt to give a coworker a gift basket. Gift baskets contain items such as coffee, mugs, teas, stuffed animals, cheeses, cutting boards, and other items.

Friends

Shopping for friends can be fun. Emphasize items that relate to your friendship. For example, if you’ve bonded over books, you can surprise them with a new e-reader or a hardcover copy of a book by one of their favorite authors. You may also want to surprise friends with activity gifts and take them to an escape room or go kayaking. Engaging in your friend’s favorite activities can be a great way to celebrate their special day.

Birthdays are momentous occasions, and it’s normal to want to make birthday celebrations memorable. Whether you’re planning an activity for a friend’s birthday or shopping for your partner, considering their interests will help you identify the best way to celebrate their special day.
