1. Post-it notes
Either leave them cute post-it notes all over your living space with reasons why they’re the best roommate or make a huge gesture by using the post-it notes to write “Happy Birthday!” If you really want to boos- it-up, combine the two in one!
2. Cute Little Plants
I am a plant lover. So, I love to decorate my space with succulents and flowers. A cute little succulent is a great inexpensive gift that can bring life to your room or just get a bouquet of whatever their favorite flowers are. Us girls are suckers for flowers.
3. Goody Jars
Get a couple of Mason Jars and fill them with their favorite candies, pictures, moisturizer, small candles, little notes, face masks, nail polish etc. Any little knick-knacks that you think your roommate might need or like will do. You could also print out or write down some quotes and fill the jar with them.
4. Origami Art
Whether it’s folding a hand written note into a heart shape or making a clothes string banner with origami tulips, these are great ways to step up what might be an average gift to a great gift. I do this a lot for my friends because you only really need paper, scissors, a ruler, and some markers or paint.
5. Food
This option is foolproof! Whether it’s coffee, ice cream, or acai, take your roomie out on a little birthday date and tell them this time it’s on you.
