5 Gifts To Make A Lockdown Birthday Special from North Carolina Lifestyle Blogger Adventures of Frugal Mom

Do you remember those crazy days, in years gone by, when you could spend your birthday with friends and loved ones, doing whatever you wanted? No?  Well check your Instagram feed, it definitely used to happen. COVID-19 has been around for about a year now, so chances are, most people have had to have their birthday celebrations in some kind of lockdown situation. And while we’re all living with great anticipation that the new vaccine will let us get back to some kind of normality, it’s going to be a few more months down the line.  Since we won’t be celebrating birthdays with all of our friends and family just yet, we’ll have to put some extra thought into the other great thing about birthdays, presents. So, if you’re looking for some birthday gift ideas for those celebrating during the lockdown, here are 5 gifts to make a lockdown birthday special. 

  1. Luxury hampers

Hampers have come a long way from those giant baskets filled with biscuits and pickles your family used to get a Christmas (though they were great). They now come in all shapes and sizes. Customize a hamper with thoughtful gifts for the birthday boy or girl. You can fill them with foods and snacks, chocolates, cocktails, indulgent beauty gifts. In fact, anything that you can think of. 

You can either build the hamper yourself, sourcing the various contents from different shops or you can find a huge range of options online to choose from. Think of it as a birthday present part care package. 

  1. Customized cake delivery

Who doesn’t love a slice of delicious birthday cake? Rather than a supermarket-bought cake, why not search for specialist cake makers or bakeries in the area who will create something special and deliver it directly to their home. 

This is a great way to show someone how special they are to you and go out of your way to send them something that little bit unexpected (and tasty). Check out Mums Bake Cakes who offer cake delivery from local bakers near you whether you’re based in London or Edinburgh! 

  1. Luxury home spa set

When the stresses and strains of life start to take their toll, then where better to head to than a spa? Spending the day enjoying a sauna, swim and hot tub, followed by a few beauty treatments. Bliss. So it’s even more frustrating that at a time when we’re the most stressed, living in a global pandemic, we can’t visit a spa. 

Until we can indulge ourselves again, then there’s the next best thing, a spa gift box that you can use to bring a bit of rest and relaxation into your home. 

The luxury box needs to have everything they need to recreate that spa experience at home. This can include, chocolates, snacks, cocktails, beauty products, a dressing gown. 

What better way to take their mind off the last few months. All they have to do is put on some relaxing music and turn their phone to silent. 

  1. Drinks tasting kits 

If the person celebrating their birthday likes the occasional gin or craft beer, then a tasting kit can be a great way to remind them of a happier time when they could actually meet friends for a social drink. Collect some different samples of wine, beer, gin, whatever their preference, and display them in a nice gift box. If you’re including spirits, don’t forget the mixers. 

Not sure what to include? There are specialist tasting kits available online that should satisfy even the most discerning tastes. 

  1. An experience to look forward to

Once lockdowns are lifted, and we can all start going about our lives again, they’ll be a lot of catching up to do. Places to go, people to see, and experiences to share. Why not find the perfect experience for them to look forward to? You can get really creative here. It could be a spa day, restaurant visit, cookery class, classic car driving experience, hot air balloon ride. There’s so much to look forward to, it will be difficult to know where to start. 

As the pandemic has had an effect on the economy, then companies are offering great deals on their experiences. They are keen to entice people back to them, so you’ll be able to get a lot more bang for your buck, and you’ll be supporting local businesses too. 

We hoped you enjoyed our ideas for 5 gifts to make a lockdown birthday special. Between the stress of living through a global pandemic and the closure of many of our favorite stores, coming up with the perfect birthday present has been difficult, but there are still ways to make someone’s birthday special.
