I’ve always loved celebrating others’ birthdays. It’s a day designated to someone you love and they get to be showered with love all day! In these strange and unusual times, it can be hard to feel like celebrating a birthday, especially when you can’t be around a lot of people you love. However, that doesn’t mean you should let this special day pass you by. Some of my closest friends have April birthdays, so I thought I’d share some of the ways my friends and I have helped celebrate these aries queens.
-
Send them snail mail! Everyone loves a good hand written letter. Whether they live down the street or across the country, this gesture is really touching.
-
Send them baked goods or leave a sweet treat on their doorstep (and make it a surprise!)
-
Set up a zoom birthday party for them!
-
Send them a video compilation of friends saying happy birthday!
-
Call them on the phone and ask them about their day.
-
If they live in your town, do a drive by birthday party! Make signs, fill your car with balloons, and drive by your friend’s house and yell out how much you love them.
-
Host a netflix party and watch their favorite show or movie.
-
Send them a package.
-
Plan a big celebration for their half birthday!
Whether they’re turning 13, 21, or 45, this probably isn’t how they imagined they would spend their birthday. Let them mourn that a little bit, and then ensure that this is a birthday they won’t forget!
