Potluck Toddler Tasting – Birthday Party Idea

Teenagers – Rite of Passage Birthday Idea
When children turn 13 years old instead of celebrating a bar mitzvah or rite of passage, the adolescent has to survive 13-days of using outmoded technology:  A-track tapes for music, brick sized cell phones for communications and the dewy decimal system for researching books at the library. If the teenager successfully makes it 13 days without having a meltdown, all technologies, including new ones are the reward.

The 21st Birthday Party Idea Reinvented
With alcohol consumption comes the responsibility of being an adult. For the 21^st birthday party bash, the celebration would involve only the guests quaffing down cordials while  the individual celebrating the date of birth would be the designated driver.

Birthday Party Idea: 50 in Las Vegas
This birthday idea involves the turning 50 in Las Vegas, where the celebrants compete in a game called the Casino Triathalon, stopping at every casino to drink, bet and eat. The first (50+year old) person to make it to the last venue receives a cab ride to the hospital.

Birthday Party Game for 80 and Over
Betty White,  Regis Philbin and William Shatner exemplify how people are living and working longer. As for new and exciting birthday games, “Pin the Organ on the  the Human Anatomy” would be comparable to “Pin the Tail on the Donkey.”  Each game contestant over 80 competes for speed, memory and the ability to precisely  place an organ on the appropriate part of the anatomy. Prizes for wining this game include hearing aids, acid reflux tablets, extra reading glasses, fashionable walking canes and other useful goodies.

Decorating wise: Arrange candles throughout the rooms where the birthday party take place.

The engraved Montblanc pen is a classic birthday gift idea. This timeless present never goes out of style. Whether the recipient has never owned a high end writing utensil or a collector, a Montblanc etched with one’s initials symbolizes an elegantly appointed present.

Monogrammed luggage is another luxury gift with a long shelf life. Some merchandisers offer monogramming services. The only problem is that sometimes the craftsmanship of the personalization overshadows the quality of the product:

Birthhday gift idea: If you buy luggage online, be sure to opt for a brand or designer, who you are familiar with the characteristics of the product. To minimize any surprises, find a local company to do the monogramming.

On Web sites, where unusual presents, collectible items and products don’t always provide an accurate description of goods (i.e. ebay, Amazon, Best Buy, etc.), consumers can depend on other consumer’s commentary to make an educated purchase decision.

Note that not all birthday gift ideas depicted on the Internet are written by real customers. To gather a precise composite of consumer goods, be sure to read reviews from a cross spectrum of Web sites to gather.

Instead of wrapping the boxes in standard gift wrap paper, purchase table clothes, which include the recipient’s kitchen or dining room hues and enfold each gift, with matching ribbons. Then place in a decorative basket. (As seen in the photo on the left).

When it comes to giving a personalized birthday gift idea, an engraved iPod, luggage, and jewelry make for elegant offerings.
