It’s a strange time for everyone right now, and celebrating could feel slightly surreal. However, now more than ever, it’s an important time to show the people you love how much they mean you. If your partner has a birthday coming up there’s so much you can do to make the day special. It’s definitely going to be one they’ll remember.
Cards and Gifts
A card and a present can be the perfect opportunity to show someone how well you know them. A thoughtful detail in a gift can make such an impact, like getting them their favourite bottle of booze, a fragrance they frequently wear, or you could look atpersonalized gifts from Card Factory to add a special touch. You could also get your partner gifts which reflect moments from your relationship: order food from the first restaurant you went to, or get a framed poster from the first film you saw together.
Dress Up
You may not be going out to celebrate this year, but that doesn’t mean you have to dress like you’re staying in. Why not dress to impress? By taking the time to dress up for each other it marks the occasion and will make your partner feel special. Plus it adds a bit of fun for the evening and can make it feel like a proper date night.
Something Different
Your partner is likely to never have a birthday like this is again. You could make the most of this and have a totally different kind of celebration. Whether you want to tour galleries from around the world or have a picnic in Central Park – the world is your virtual oyster. You can explore some of the most beautiful spots on the planet, all from the comfort of your own home. You could even promise you’ll see them in real life when all this over with.
Surprise Party
Maybe your partner is a social butterfly and had big party plans this year. They may not able to see all their friends and family face to face – but they can still meet up on the internet. Pick a platform and go from there. You can host a pub quiz, a cocktail happy hour, or even a movie night. Just make sure to tell them about the dress code!
No matter how you choose to celebrate your partner’s birthday this year, they’re bound to appreciate all the effort you went to. How have you been celebrating occasions during lockdown?
