Although every birthday is special, there are some that we look forward to, (and some we dread), more than others. Here are some unique things you can do to celebrate these milestone moments in your life and make sure that every birthday is a happy one.

First Birthday

Celebrating a first birthday is a very memorable day for any parent and one that your mum had probably been planning since the day you arrived! When it comes to giving the perfect gift, a keepsake item is an ideal choice as it’s something that parents can keep for when their little bundle of joy is all grown up.

Sweet Sixteen

This is the birthday that all little girls look forward to, and the one that all dads nightmares of made of! To make a traditional sixteenth birthday extra sweet, why not throw a “High Tea” themed birthday party or a “girls just want to have fun” slumber party? For boys, an action packed activity filled day out with their friends is sure to go down a treat. All good clean fun ideas before the big eighteen arrives!

Turning 21

As well as the traditional gift of a 21st Key, this birthday is a milestone one as it officially marks your transition into adulthood. And what better way to celebrate than popping a bottle of bubbly and spending a night on the town with close friends and family.

After 30 comes 40, 50, 60

Each of these birthdays is another big stepping stone in your life worth celebrating. Whether you decide to mark your turning of age at home or use it as an excuse to travel somewhere you’ve always wanted to go, try not to get too bogged down about getting old. Remember, age is nothing but a number!
