With every year that goes by, it seems to get harder and harder to find gifts for the people we love. Everyone buys the newest iPhone the minute it hits the market, dinners in trendy restaurants have become a regular thing and we all strive for at least one holiday abroad a year. It’s great that if we have the money, we treat ourselves and practice self-care, but it makes it so much harder when it comes to gifting happy birthday presents online for our loved ones.
What do you give a person who has no problem treating themselves all year round? Or people who just don’t seem to want anything and are happy with whatever they have (which is, again, an amazing quality to have)?
That’s where your creativity needs to kick into high gear. But don’t worry, we asked a number of bloggers for
their perfect birthday gift ideas to get your engines started.
Get them a flower bouquet as beauitful as they are
Something that everyone cherishes is the feeling of being loved, respected and cared for. There is nothing more satisfying than waking up in the morning to the smiling face of a partner, child or even a best friend. But a way you can provide that feeling on a birthday is through a carefully selected bouquet of fresh flowers especially chosen just for them. This way, even when you’re not around, your happy birthday gifts for boy online delivery, birthday gifts for girl online will get that warm, tingly feeling in their stomach that someone is thinking about them everytime they look across at their beautiful blooms.
When buying flowers think about what it is about your birthday boy/girl that is the most prominent. Are they goofy and love to joke around? Are they classy and sophisticated? Do they appreciate the small pleasures in life? Thankfully there’s a stem for every type of person. For those who are young and bubbly consider sending a colourful arrangement like Vibrant Celebration, whereas for someone older and more dignified the pale pastel tones of Ornate Charm will probably be more to their liking.
Put their personality into a hamper
Just as with Online Birthday Flowers delivery it’s important to think about the person you’re sending your gift too. There are as many hampers as there are types of people and it’s easy to add your own finishing touches to create the perfect personalised hamper just for them! Hampers make a great gift because let’s face it, multiple presents are so much better than just one!
You can find a selection of pre-made birthday gift hampers that may fit what you’re looking for, which will save you time and will also look professionally done. Take for example, the Breakfast Treats hamper, which is filled with classy treats for a birthday brunch: from orange marmalade, to butter croissants, smoked salmon and Bucks Fizz to toast the birthday boy/girl. If you’re feeling extravagant, why not splash out on The Ultimate Feast Gift Basket for that special someone with a refined pallet?
And if you know the birthday person extremely well, Victoria Sully, from the lifestyle blog Lylia Rose, suggests that you add “all their favourite treats so they are guaranteed to love it!”
Another twist you could try is what Tracey Tripp, who runs lifestyle blog Inspired by T, calls “movie night in a box”.
“Last year I made this for my Daughter's Gran who can't really leave the house and doesn't need any gift items,” says Tracey. “It was a couple of good movies, treats, a bit of gin, etc. It went down really well.”

If you think this idea sounds perfect then our Ladies Favourite and Gentleman’s Favourite gift boxes are a great place to start, just add a DVD and give them an evening they’ll treasure for years to come.
Give the gift of time
Most people nowadays are rushing from one place to the other, trying to catch their breath in between the office, picking up the kids from daycare, meeting their parents for dinner, doctor's appointments, shopping… it feels we only stop to make more to-do lists.
As Jen Mellor, from Just Average Jen, puts it, “time can't be bought, but helping to make more time is lovely.” The idea for this gift is to make a list for your friend, partner or family member, which contains all of the things you can do for them, in order to give them more time. It can be doing their grocery shopping for a month, prepping meals and freezing them for future use, several loads of laundry, walking their dog a few times a week, or even watching their kids for a few nights so they can have some alone time. The possibilities are endless.
But since this is still a gift, try and think of a pretty way to present it. If your loved one receives their coupon as a personal message or card bundled with their favourite flower or plant, it’ll feel more tangible. “I had a friend who used to give her hubby an IOU,” Emma Lannarilli adds, “A favour for your loved one to cash in at any time can be a really lovely idea.
