    Bad Birthday Ideas | Gifts to Avoid


    Does the thought of giving a used undergarment seem to be a plausible birthday idea? A stained handkerchief, the remains of a picked over meal or an autographed photo of a “reality” celebrity, who the recipient has never heard of, are not the types of birthday ideas that most people appreciate.

    But, not all used or iconic gifts are  necessarily unwanted. Certain recycled or used birthday gift ideas, such as a vinyl album, a vintage leather jacket or antiques are acceptable and sometimes even cherished birthday gift ideas.

    Although, gifts that are unhealthy for one’s health are usually appreciated, birthday ideas, they are inappropriate for the recovering alcoholic or drug addict. Nevertheless, for the cigar aficionados, oenophiles and bourbon connoisseur these birthday ideas are definitive winning ideas.

    Don’t give a stay at home mother a household cleaning product as a birthday gift, unless it has been a specifically requested. 

    The vast majority of women prefer indulgent gifts: a massage, a day at the spa, jewelry, perfume, et cetera.

    Taking a person, who has a fear of heights to the John Hancock’s 95th floor to dine is a thoughtless birthday ideas – that would prove to quite  traumatic for the recipient.  

    It’s not a good birthday idea to plan a joyride through a local cemetery to help a person with a propensity for remember their mortality.

    Dinner cruises, rollercoasters and balloon rides are not optimal birthday ideas for individuals suffering from motion sickness or vertigo.  

    Last, but not least avoid those birthday ideas, which require the recipient to spend money or have to buy other accessories to enjoy the gift. Nonetheless, gift cards are unimaginative, yet  easy solutions for the birthday gift quandary.

    Recipe for a Fun Birthday Idea


    What makes one birthday idea better than another  celebration? The best birthday bash begins with a good birthday concept, theme or agenda. Any memorable celebration conceived from an idea, engages the guest of  honor and party attendants. It does not matter how many people will be attendance of the gathering. Use these birthday party ideas and ingredients to host an unforgettable  bash:  

    Ingredients:

    • Theme
    • Beverages
    • Finger Food
    • Group Activity

    For obvious reasons, the birthday party idea should be based on the person of honors interests. Fashionistas do well with a birthday party idea, where shopping, designers and pampering is involved. Trunk celebrations, fashion shows, or an at home party, where botox injections, massages and pedicures are involved does the job. Coordinate the gift exchange, by having everyone purchase one lavish gift for the guest of honor.

    • Whatever the guest of honor loves doing, the theme of the party should be centered around that activity. For the gamer, rent or borrow two or three televisions, games, etc.  During the celebration, have attendants break up into teams for a championship.
    • Research non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, which concur with the party theme.  The Foodnetwork and Good Housekeeping have an abundance of nostalgic recipes.
    • Unless the party is planned for a foodie, it is  unnecessary to plan a four course meal. Depending on the number of party attendants, create sandwich wraps or finger sandwiches. Then slice into finger sized portions and arrange in a decorative presentation. 
    • Instead of using the traditional birthday cake, consider a quirky replacement. Donuts, cupcakes and brownies are viable substitutes for the birthday cake.

     Whatever the birthday ideas call for, remember that the best party involves all guests in the festivities.

    Birthday Ideas For Him


    It does not cost much to host a memorable bash. Whether the celebration is indoors or outdoors, try these alternative birthday ideas and tips on for him.

     

    The Flotilla Party

    This birthday party idea is ideal for the boat owner. Involve all of his boat and sailing friends to plan a flotilla party. Since the idea of these parties is to hop from boat to boat, ask each boat to feature a special drink and hors d’oeuvre. Select a national theme. For instance, one boat would represent France, bearing Brie and a glass of Veuve Clicquot champagne.

     

    Alternate birthday idea: If the person, who the celebration is in honor of does not own a boat and does not suffer from motion sickness, investigate dinner boat cruises.

     

    The Sporting Event

    If he’s a sport enthusiast, this birthday idea is may require a decent budget along with tenacity. Whether his favorite team or athlete belongs to the NFL, NHL, PGA, ATP or MLB — score tickets to his favorite team. In advance, arrange for his name to appear on the scoreboard kiosk. Some stadiums charge a nominal fee. If the birthday idea is impossible to attain, make him a cool sign tying in the  birthday greeting with a reference to the event. Another way to pull off this birthday idea is to get him to the game early enough to snap a photo of his favorite player.

     

    The Reenactment

    Is he a history buff, film fiend, or a Dungeons and Dragon addict? Whatever he loves to do, use it to develop the plot for  a party for birthday idea. Here’s how it works: Let’s say  that he loves Martin Scorsese films: purchase or rent all of the director’s films. Then, make sure that each guest arrives decked out in their favorite character’s attire. Be sure to serve food that fit the theme.

    In the end, the best birthday idea incorporates the person of honors interests and hobbies.

    Birthday Party Ideas for Common Folks


    What do you, Tiger Woods and Donald Trump have in common? Each year, all have a birthday. Although most common folks do not celebrate their special day on the same scale that tycoons do, everyone appreciates an indelible birthday party idea.

    It used to be that birthday celebrations were centered in the home. Aside from the backyard, dinner or surprise party, a slew of celebratory ideas are for the common folk.

    Nostalgic Activities

    Bowling and skating parties are nostalgic group activities, reminiscent of the 50s. These birthday party ideas are low maintenance. Have all guests arrive at a designated time. It’s okay if they pay for their  equipment rental. To alleviate the chaos try to reserve two to four bowling alley lanes.  At the rink, find a group of tables for everyone to congregate. To make the birthday party idea unforgettable, be sure to snap as many photos and video for the Facebook wall. Don’t forget to provide the food and beverages.

    Culinary Interactive Experience

    For instance, organizations such as Parties That Cook plan a menu, provide hands on training and do all the cleaning. For $60 to $150 per person, these culinary thematic events are booked for birthday parties and used to develop team building. For the epicure—there’s no better way to celebrate the special day then cooking, chatting and consuming good food.

    Aquatic Event

    Dining out has always been a popular birthday party idea. Instead of the typical land-based dinner, take the meal aboard. Depending on the time of year, climate and boat accessibility, the dinner cruise is the water enthusiast’s dream birthday party idea. Regardless if the person in honor owns a boat or not, cities near a river, lake or ocean generally offer dinner cruises. If he or she loves to fish, turn it into a deep sea fishing excursion.

    Whatever the birthday party idea, think beyond your home.

    Profile of a Good Birthday Idea


     What makes one birthday idea an object of appreciation versus one of inappropriateness? It depends on the thought behind the gift. Presents, incorporating the recipient’s interests, impress and please more than the obligatory gift.  Consider these ideas to foil a bad birthday idea:

    Re-gifting rule. Re-gifts tread a fine line between a good and bad birthday idea. Make sure the “hand-me” down gift is not too worn out. If the item is an outdated technology, try to opt for a collector’s item or something symbolic of importance to the recipient. 

    A vinyl album of Pink Floyd’s “The Wall,” exemplifies an exceptional re-gifting birthday idea for the person, who loves classic rock and owns a phonograph. In other words make sure the gift is of personal interest and the recipient has the technological requirements to enjoy the present. 

    User-friendly. Select gifts that are user-friendly versus “useful.” For instance, most golfers would prefer to receive a gift, such as an indoor putting green to hone their game over the eco-friendly cleaning solution to polish the golf clubs. 

    Significance. Some of the best birthday gifts have a memorable story behind them. Objects gathered from vacations to other countries are conversation pieces high in sentimental value.

    Mass Appeal. Winning birthday ideas have mass appeal. In other words, if the present would not appeal to more than 75 percent of the population, it may not make for the best birthday idea. Gift certificates, fruit bouquets, and candy are examples of gifts with mass appeal. 

    Maxim: Bad birthday ideas not only leave a putrid taste in ones mouth, but waste time and money – contributing to the carbon footprint.

    Great Birthday Ideas


    Birthday Ideas that Personify Individuality

     Birthday Ideas come in a variety of flavors. Givers and receivers have their favorite types of gifts to give and share. This week, BirthdayIdeas.org explores four types of birthday ideas for various personality types:

     Whimsical

    For the audience viewer, who is addicted to the comedy series, “The Office,” the Dwight Shrute bobble-head makes for a whimsical gift idea. This is the gift that is somewhere between a novelty and whimsical in nature.

     At Artistic Sensations, practical but whimsical birthday gifts are in ample supply for toddlers and children.  Take this Fish Shaped pillowcase, unusual in appearance, it’s the type of loveable item that kids may cherish through adolescence.

     Utilitarian

    Utilitarian presents are useful and highly functional. For example, a weed whacker, whoopee cushion and, waffle iron are examples of utilitarian gifts. Although these birthday ideas are not mesmerizing in design qualities, they merit great usefulness.

     Enthusiast

    A grill cover with the St Louis Cardinal logo embedded in the fabric, an all-inclusive fishing trip, or backstage passes to a John Mayer concert exemplify birthday ideas for the sport’s enthusiast or person fanatical about a rock star.

     Indulgent

    From fur, diamonds, a day at the spa to haute couture, these birthday ideas speak the language of extravagant indulgence. For the gal or guy, who knows the difference between a Swedish and Shiatsu massage, a half or full day at the spa makes for an idyllic gift idea. Maybe, he or she loves the feel of cashmere. A gift certificate from Forzieri purchased via the Golden Portal Virtual Mall of Savings is always a good standby for the label conscious person addicted to luxury.

     Nonetheless, whatever birthday idea one decides to give, always consider the recipient’s personality.
