What Are Some Good Birthday Gift Ideas?

S. Mithra
S. Mithra

Choosing a good birthday gift can make the recipient feel special, particularly if the item is something personalized, unique, or thoughtful. When selecting something, it can be nice to try to think of a gift that is meaningful rather than purely functional. You may want the recipient to associate the birthday gift with you and your relationship, or you may simply want to give him or her something whimsical that inspires laughter or stress relief. What you choose should be dictated by your relationship with the person, and how well you know him or her. If you don't know the person well, general gifts like flowers or a gift card or certificate can be a good fit for most people.

Personalized Presents

A magazine subscription is an ideal gift for readers.

To put a unique spin on a standard birthday gift, you may want to consider personalized items. For a dog lover, consider a coffee mug with a picture of the recipient's pet. For expecting mothers, a full-sized maternity pillow so they can finally sleep on their tummy or themed LED displays for gamers. The more you know the person, the wider your options in picking and buying a gift. Home items, like towels or linens, embroidered with the recipient's initials may be a good option, if you know the style and colors that the birthday guy or gal likes. If the celebrant is an expectant mom, get them some premium pregnancy pillow to help them catch up on some sleep. You can even customise the pillow case so it's birthday themed. Humor, appropriate for the occasion and the recipient, is also fitting when giving these types of presents. For example, a funny yet meaningful phrase on a keyring or T-shirt can make a small birthday gift more special.

Theme Gifts and Tailored Gift Baskets

Another option for creating an original birthday gift is to assemble an assortment of smaller presents around a central theme. If the recipient loves watching movies, a nice collection of items could include popcorn, a decorative bowl, toppings and flavorings, and a DVD you think he or she will like. A good selection of birthday gifts for relaxation could combine bath oils, small candles, a robe, and comfortable slippers to reduce tension and encourage pampering. You may be able to find such gifts already available in a gift basket, or buy an empty basket and assemble the items yourself for an extra personal touch.

Subscriptions

An item the recipient receives repeatedly throughout the year can be a thoughtful gift. Subscriptions to magazines or other publications are often a good birthday gift idea, especially for people who like to read or have a special interest. There are hundreds of magazine titles, so finding one that matches a recipient's interests whether it be a particular sport like mountain biking or activity like shopping or cooking, is generally not too difficult.

Some people prefer cash to gifts.

Another option is a subscription to a club that delivers a particular item each month or so. A fruit-of-the-month club, for example, might give the birthday guy or gal fresh apples one month, oranges the next, and pears the following. For wine lovers, a regular delivery of a selection of red or white wines to try out would likely be appreciated. There are beer-of-the-month clubs as well, which allow the receiver to try a range of different brews. These clubs are often a bit expensive, as shipping charges can be high, but many have options for less frequent deliveries; if a monthly delivery is too much, one every three months or for just the first six months of the year may be a possibility.

Activities and Experience Gifts

A friend or relative may appreciate a birthday gift that includes getting out for some fun. If this is the case, one idea is to buy passes or tickets to an event or performance that you know he or she would like to attend or visit. You could even make the birthday gift a night-long event by including a gift certificate to a favorite restaurant for the recipient to use before or after the performance.

Clothing could be a suitable birthday gift.
Clothing could be a suitable birthday gift.

Although dinner and a movie can make a nice gift, think about what activities the birthday guy or gal really enjoys. Tickets to a special museum exhibition or day passes to an amusement park might fit his or her interests better. This can be a great present for children, many of whom love zoos, observatories, aquariums, and wildlife parks. Remember that you'll probably need to buy several tickets, unless you expect the recipient to go alone. You may also want to consider giving a gift certificate that allows the recipient to pick the date that works best for him or her; some people might find this to be impersonal, however, so think about what works best for the recipient before giving this gift.

If you know the person well and are willing to spend the money for a really special birthday present, you might want to consider an "experience" gift. Lessons with a professional golfer, riding a few laps with a race car driver, or getting to fly in a military jet are all experiences that can make amazing birthday gifts. Alternatively, you could give a memorable tour, such as a sightseeing flight in a hot air balloon or a train ride that stops at rural wineries. Spa packages and weekend getaways are also popular relaxing experiences to give.

Gadgets

A getaway to a lakeside cottage is a great birthday gift idea for a loved one.

For those who have hard-to-shop-for loved ones, a new gadget can be a good birthday gift idea. Both fun and practical gadgets are available, and it is usually best to choose one that is a match for the recipient's interests. Unique items like this can include a wristwatch that also features a thermometer, pedometer, and barometer, or a purse that converts into a backpack. Consider the recipient's personality when shopping; if your coworker is not an avid golfer, then an electronic rangefinder might not be much appreciated.

Inexpensive Gifts

A person who enjoys cooking may appreciate the gift of a waffle iron.

If your budget doesn't stretch to a weekend at a spa or the latest gadget, an inexpensive gift can be just as meaninful. You might consider a book by a favorite author or in a genre you know the recipient likes, or a DVD or movie download. Doing a chore that the birthday guy or gal would rather avoid — like washing the car or mowing the lawn — may cost very little, but be greatly appreciated. Even a tube of the person's favorite lip balm and a card can be a thoughtful gift.

Birthday Gifts to Avoid

Someone on a tight budget might offer to mow the yard of a birthday girl or guy.

Knowing the recipient is important when choosing a birthday gift, as is being aware when you don't know the person very well. Very personal items, like sleepwear or lingerie, should not be given to someone who is not an intimate friend. Giving a casual acquaintance an expensive gift, such as high-end electronics or jewelry, should also be avoided unless you know that such a gift is expected. It's also a good idea to avoid gifts of art or other decorative items unless you know the recipient's taste very well; that beautiful vase you gave your cousin may sit in the closet except for the times you visit if it clashes with the rest of the home's decor.

On my 16th birthday, my best friend got everyone at my beach party to comment and sign an autograph book she got me. 40 years later, I still consider it my most prized possession.

Post 7 wins. All my mom wants is to have us around or be assured of our safety, and the best way to accomplish that is a vacation/emergency fund. Brilliant.

@anon156430: If there is a kitchen supply store in your area, a gift card to that store would be a great gift. I love to cook, and I'd really appreciate a gift card to a store like that. If there isn't one, then you could get her an online gift card to Williams-Sonoma. Good luck!

anon156430

I'm really struggling to find a perfect gift for my best friend. Her main hobby is cooking but I have no idea what to get her. Any ideas? Thanks.

anon156057

I don't think I'd agree with the magazine subscription idea. In the case that the recipient doesn't really like the magazine it would be a big waste. You're better off just giving them a plastic gift card from a store. That way they can buy what they really want.

anon154691

one of the greatest gifts i received was from a friend. she knew my favorite type of chocolate (kit kats) and she used the design to make a cushion! its a huge, soft, and one of a kind cushion made specially from my friend. i always use it when i go to sleepovers, retreats, etc. since its fairly light.

The best gift I've ever received was when a bunch of my friends made a photo album for me. Each person added some pages to the album, so it was like getting a giant anthology of custom birthday cards all rolled into one. It was made on a site called Keepsy, and I think they do weddings and other kinds of gift books too.

My wife's birthday is on Jan 10, so every year I am completely stuck for what to get her as she has usually got most of everything she wants for Christmas but this year.

Through following up on an idea posted in a comment on this site, I found a great gift. It arrived this morning and it's beautiful. she'll love it, so thanks Stevie for the great idea.

I was a little cautious at first as I have never bought anything custom or handmade before but this is something different and so unique and so romantic I couldn't resist and so easy to have made. Pages from the Heart Gift books are made from real books otherwise destined for the trash or recycling, making it an eco gift that will without doubt appeal to my wife.

The book is hardened in some way divided in its central pages, creating a display area here. I had mounted a picture of us dancing together at a recent party and on the other side the words to the song that we danced to, which has always been a favorite love song of ours.

All is decorated with tiny hand cut paper ribbons flowers and leaves in yellow and blue my wife's favorite colors. The gift book arrived nicely wrapped in cellophane and curly ribbons with gift card and gift tag attached already for me to give to my wife I was very impressed. Thanks again, Stevie.

I was scrolling through all of these and thought of a great present for my mom on her birthday. You can also do this for your mom. Take a basket. Since my mom always says I'm a good artist, ill draw a picture of her on a canvas. I'll also take pictures and put it in a big multi photo frame. I'm also in a sewing class at school and i could make her a pair of pajama bottoms (she loves those).

Just take two nice things that she likes, and then make another that you can make. She'll love it.

My best friend's birthday is coming up, and I've decided that since her birthday is on a school day and I do pick her up on my way to school that I would pick her up her favorite breakfast then during lunch I'm giving her a cookie cake I made her.

Then after school when we get in my car I'm giving her this little collage of our pictures, favorite quotes, and some of our favorite lyrics on this poster. Then at her birthday dinner later on in the evening I'll give her the shirt I purchased her. I can't wait to see her reactions!

The best thank you gift I ever received was a personalized Pages from the heart gift book that my daughter and son in law had made for me. Made from a rescued real hard back book. it has a beautiful thank you poem on one side and blue irises(my favorite flower)and butterflies in 3D paper toll on the other. It is the most beautiful thing that I own and is very precious as it was made just for me.

anon106225

I think the best gift I ever got was a hardbound book from my husband that had been made just for me. I mean really, can a card say what is really on your mind?

I thought it was really romantic that he had really taken his time to find the website and answer their 20 simple questions, and the next thing he knew, he had the sweetest most romantic gift ever. Plus, he did it right from his computer. It's hard to find something unique.

When it was my best friend's 13th birthday she was already stressing out about high school in september thinking we won't be friends anymore. So all of us (us seven) pitched in and bought her a pair of converse shoes, and a whole outfit to go with it and a purse which we had filled in notes about how much we love her and would never think about leaving her. To add to the sweetness, we had gotten a huge lollipop.

Check them out! Big Skinny rules!

One thing I made for my friend was a throw pillow with pictures of us ironed on. They have iron-on paper at most craft stores which you can print pictures onto then i ironed into a plain white t-shirt. Then sewed the shirt into a square pillow. It was super cute in the end and she loved it.

me and my best friend always travel together, road trips, euro trips, you name it. so when one of us has a b-day we make a photo book in iphoto on the mac.

they have different layouts and you drag pictures in and write captions or summarize the trip. It's a great coffee table book and great to show friends. It means a lot as well, and will last a long time.

You can even collect some pics of your friend and give to them to make a collage of all the pics.

What about the gift item listed in Google immediately preceding your entry? The gift is a Deed to the USA - one square inch of land in all 50 US states. Cute I thought. A good gift for many occasions especially if the person you're buying it for has a decent sense of humor. After all, what can anyone do with an inch of land?

I recently stumbled upon one of the best gift ideas ever! Trying to find unique, memorable gifts is my passion, so when I stumbled upon celebration jar I was thrilled. This website allows you to create a type of memory jar for a special person, but the best part is that the memories all come from their friends and family...not just you. So for my Mom's 60th Birthday, I had her dearest friends send in their favorite memories and stories of my mom from the many years they have known her. What a hit! My mom was blown away when she read all of the fabulous messages. Definitely, one of the very best gifts I've ever given! She will forever know how very loved and special she is to so many people.

anon17938

so my best friend is having a birthday. I want something really creative and something that she'll just be like wow and totally think i'm the best best friend ever haha. I kind of want an idea of something i can make myself but something really cool but not too expensive that i can buy works too.

My 3 sisters and I would send each other b'day and xmas gifts. It was a hassle-shop, ship and then in return I'd receive things that I would put in my 'garage sale' pile. They may have been doing the same. Now, we have set up a bank acct and at xmas and the other's b'day we deposit $ (25x3=75/50). Last Sept we met in Chicago and used the acct to pay for room and food and each sister was given $200 to spend. We'll do the same in a year only this time we will meet in NY, or FL, or Seattle or...

elsewhen

My problem with gift ideas is that I never remember the good ideas I had when I actually need them. So, what I do now, is to keep a list throughout the year, and whenever i run across something that I know would be good for some particular friend or family member, I just add it to the list.

When its time to buy a gift, there are plenty of ideas to get me started. This way, you never have to be in a panic at the last minute before a birthday party.

malena

You can never get too many bouquets of flowers. A bit of a frivolous birthday gift perhaps, but that is sometimes just what is so appealing about such a gift!
