People who are very excited about their birthdays are likely to extend the celebration to an entire month. Although not everyone might understand the month-long party, it is like a countdown to a momentous occasion (or at least one that is significant to the birthday celebrant). It is their way of prolonging a feeling of happiness, especially since the day usually brings bouts of depression. 

Aside from someone’s upbringing, the month they were born also plays a role in molding the person they become. Malcolm Gladwell’s “Outliers” discusses how success in life can be determined simply by being born too early or too late. Parents might also be eager to reminisce about the month they received the opportunity to raise children. These, along with combating birthday blues, can be reasons for people amplifying the occasion. 

That said, coming up with several presents to gift throughout the month can be challenging and expensive. Fortunately, there are certain things or experiences you can offer to last for at least 30 days. They do not necessarily have to be multiple items. Instead, they are special gifts that have the value and significance of a birth month.

Personalized Accessories

Giving jewelry or a fashionable item they can wear during their birthday month is a great one-time present. It will always remind them of you, as well as make them feel loved for four weeks. For instance, looking into rings with birthstones for October and other months can be a wonderful way to find a gift for someone born in that month. It will be a personalized item that says something about the person while showing them that you celebrate their birth month.

Personalized accessories can also create a sense of permanence to their birth month, should they decide to wear them throughout the year. It makes them feel special, reminding them that their presence is celebrated. A giver can even go the extra mile and get the object engraved. This will allow them to commemorate a particular trait or aspect of the receiver’s experiences, such as the date, place, or some details about that moment. 

Incorporating someone’s birth month into the present is a major bonus. If they are as enthusiastic about 30 days of being born into the world, they are bound to enjoy an item that does precisely that. This can also be a great gift idea for someone who just became a parent- they might appreciate a present that commemorates their first month in the role. 

Subscriptions

There is a subscription for almost anything these days. You can get someone a new set of underwear, a parcel of toys, or even an exotic fruit every month. This gift can get costly, depending on the type of plan you have chosen for the receiver of the present. The good thing is, you have many options to choose from.

For the younger children, you can purchase them a tinker box where they can learn new skills related to arts, engineering, and math. There are also game subscriptions for those who are avid players of particular gaming brands. They might even enjoy a streaming service. You could decide to opt for a month’s worth of subscriptions, emphasizing the importance of that time of the year. 

Calendar Card

This can be a handmade present or something that you commission someone to do. It is technically a calendar designed to countdown until their actual birthday. This way, the person can have something nice to look at while counting down the days till their all-out celebration. There are many ways to customize this kind of greeting. Whichever way you go about it, it will still show a lot of thought, effort, and care in this unique gift. 

You could make it so that the person will have a special compliment or message every single day before their birthday. It can also be customized to have a particular link to a song that reminds you of them for that specific day. This can be achieved by printing a different QR code on the card as they count down. You could even set the song for their birthday as the good-old-fashioned “Happy Birthday” song.

For some, it may be the thought that matters, but you need to have a present to express that thought. Otherwise, the moment will be gone, along with the thought in it. They might not even remember that you celebrated their birthday with them. For good measure, it can help to add a personal touch to their presents, to show that you care for them, especially on their birthday.
