Most people do not set out to buy a birthday present at the last minute, but for one reason or another, it happens. With time limited, maybe you have just an hour or two to come up with something, what are your options? Buying flowers as a birthday present is one option, and one which you can certainly get away with if the person you are giving them to is a woman. Whatever the time of year, you can be sure that there will always be a great bouquet of flowers available in your local florist. You can even order them online now and have them delivered the same day (if you order in the morning) or the following morning. Handing them over yourself is preferable though. Either way, make sure that you write (or type if you order online) a nice message for the card that will accompany the flowers. Instead of flowers, or in addition to them, you can buy a special box of chocolates or candies. Note the word ‘special’, because just buying any ones from the nearest supermarket will not make a very impression on the person that you are giving them to. Then there are cakes too, which everyone loves, especially on their birthday. If you have two hours and any baking experience then it is best to make it yourself – your friend or family member will really appreciate that. Buying one from a bakery is perfectly ok though, as there are great ones to choose from. Spending an extra dollar or two to have it personalized with a message is a must. Dinner or lunch with your friend or family member is the third option – you will be giving the gift of food and fun. Spending time with someone lets them know that you really like and care about them. Let them pick their favorite restaurant and make it clear that you alone will be paying the bill. If there is no time to go out, or you cannot afford a good meal for two, then you can cook them something from home. Do not worry if you not a culinary genius, it is the thought that counts. If you are really not confident in your ability, then call in your Mom or a friend to help you out. At least one of the ideas talked about will be suitable for everyone, so keep them in mind as no doubt you will forget someone’s birthday again. Of course, making a list of your friend’s and family member’s birthdays and buying presents in advance will save you a lot of hassle and headaches. It pays to be organized!
