May is a crazy month in our home. Anniversaries, Mother's Day and lots and lots of birthdays. Birthdays are wonderful (especially our own) and here's 10 Ways to Wish Somebody a Happy Birthday:
1. Flowers. Always pretty. Always cheerful
2. Even better - a plant. Maybe flowers, maybe herbs or veggies. This is easier during those Spring and Summer birthdays.
3. My personal favorite - knit them something.
4. If the birthday recipient is a knitter, then spin some yarn.
5. Take them out for drinks. Always a fun time.
6. Make dinner for them. This is my hubby's specialty.
7. If they are a crafty person, buy them a Craftsy class.
8. Bake for them. I never refuse baked goods.
9. Go to tea and shopping. Here. I promise you will both love it.
10. Love. Give them lots and lots of love on their special day.

What a wonderful list! I'm embarassed that I forgot #3 on my list, but that's probably because I'm not usually done knitting the gift until well after their birthday has passed. Gorgeous lilies!
#10 is the best one of all!
Great ideas! All of them! This weekend we are having a small 1/2 birthday party for Ree. Because her birthday is in December....and this year she got a baby sister just 2 weeks before...we are having her family party in June. She chose a flower theme so instead of gifts we asked everyone to bring her a flower. She loves flowers! :-)
I also do numbers 2 and 3 and 8. Oh and 10 too, always try to do that every day.
Hope your day was lovely.
this makes me think of a thing I read online the other day...flowers don't worry about what the flower next to them looks like, or compare themselves. They just bloom. :) Enjoyed your list.
I love lists. :)
