Stay-at-home orders may have cancelled holidays, weddings and other large events, but one thing we refuse to let this virus take away from us is our birthdays! Blowing out candles and singing ‘Happy Birthday’ is exactly what you need to keep some sense of normalcy in your life right now, and even though you may have to celebrate virtually with friends and family and get a little creative with your day, there are still several ways you can celebrate your birthday at home, and if anything, make it one you will always remember!
Regardless of which milestone you or your loved one is hitting, whether it’s your daughter’s sweet sixteen of your 39th birthday again (!), we want you to celebrate your big day in style. So, open the champagne, blow up the balloons and get your party hats at the ready, because we’re about to share 10 incredible ways you can celebrate your birthday at home…
Throw A Virtual Party
While you may not be able to invite everyone over like you had originally planned, throwing a birthday in quarantine doesn’t mean you can’t still get everyone involved. Organise a group video call with all your friends and family and celebrate round a virtual table with drinks, party games and of course, an essential bout of singing ‘Happy Birthday’.
Cook Them Their Favourite Meal
Just because their favourite restaurant is closed, doesn’t mean you can’t try and create it yourself. The effort is guaranteed to be appreciated and it’s a fantastic excuse to get dressed up, light some candles and have a romantic meal just the two of you.
Enjoy a Picnic in the Garden
During these past few weeks, we have been blessed with some wonderful weather so make the most of it with your own birthday garden party. Lay out an old blanket on the grass, rustle up some sandwiches and their all-time favourite snacks and enjoy each other’s company in the peace of your own back garden.
Compete in a Games Day
Does your loved one get their kicks from a good game of monopoly or a fierce race of Mario Kart? If so, host your own games day and play all your favourite board games, videos games and card games against each other. If you want, you could even keep score and the winner could benefit from an awesome prize at the end!
Set Up a Treasure Hunt Around the House
A treasure hunt around the house is the perfect way to give them their birthday gifts. Create clues that lead them to small gifts, love letters or IOU notes around the house. Make sure you leave the the most special gift for the end, whether it’s a stunning piece of jewellery you’ve ordered online or an IOU luxury timepiece you will buy in stores when they reopen.
Treat Them to A Spa Day
It will come as no surprise that the pandemic has taken its toll on every one of us, so a calm and relaxing spa day for your loved one could be just what they need to rid their anxieties. Transform a room into your very own spa, run them a romantic bath with rose petals, buy them a face mask and give them a long, relaxing massage with a glass of bubbly.
Go Camping in the Garden
If you had originally planned on celebrating your birthday on holiday, why not take advantage of the warmer nights and create your own getaway in your back garden. Pitch up a tent, sleep under the stars and make smores on the BBQ with an exciting birthday ‘camping trip’ you are sure to never forget.
Cosy Up With a Movie Night
Cinemas may be closed, but that doesn’t mean you can’t host your own ultimate movie night in your living room. Select a couple of their favourite films or films you know they have been desperate to watch, get some cosy blankets and dish up the popcorn for a romantic birthday movie night in together.
Create Your Own Bar Crawl
Just because the pubs are shut doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate your birthday drinking your favourite alcohol. We love the idea of creating your own bar crawl and turning each room of the house into a different themed bar. Create some pinacoladas for the beach bar, get a selection of wine for some wine tasting and pour a classic pint in your own ‘in-house’ local.
Bake a Birthday Cake Together
No birthday is complete without a birthday cake. So whether you create one yourself as a surprise for your loved one or you spend the day baking together, make sure the lights are turned down, the candles are lit and everyone sings ‘Happy Birthday’ to the birthday boy or girl!
To help keep the birthday celebrations flowing, C W Sellors remains open for business online with a fantastic selection of birthday gift ideas for you to choose from. Treat her to that piece of diamond jewellery she has always wanted or him to the luxury timepiece he has been ogling since last year.
