Loved this! I like covering cooks matchboxes (the big ones) in really beautiful wallpaper samples. Then you can give the matchbox with a candle. And it all looks good on the coffee table!
My cousins and I always give each other small luxuries like Chanel nail polish or some kind of deliciously expensive food that I’d never buy myself but comes in under £25 / £30. It’s such a treat to give and receive those gifts. Falls under “delight” for sure!
This fantastic! I’ve found that having a scavenger hunt for gifts (especially kids!) is so fun and memorable. You can wrap up an otherwise lackluster gift (like new school shoes) and they feel like they won a prize!
I laav this share!!! Haha, my ex always use to say that I’m more excited for his birthdays than himself!! I love celebrating birthdays!! Both, mine and others! 💛 i send out postcards, or wish or call them!! For pals veryy close, i design cards with a personal note, and send them! I love giving surprises big time!! This soooo much resonated with me, and I’m creating this idea of birthday calendar rn, thankss, Jenna!! <3
great post! love all of the ideas. i do many of these as well. there’s something about giving someone an actual gift and card that makes them feel “wow, they thought about me” 🩷
My two favorite gifts were both for my wedding! An aunt and uncle gave us a Le Creuset pot and handwritten recipes they’ve loved over the years, sprinkled with a few pictures of them cooking together 😍
And my friend (artist) DREW some of my favorite pictures taken from when we traveled together and framed them!
Hmmm - not a birthday gift, but I think one of my favorite (recent) gifts I've given was a customized sourdough knife, printed out cookbook, and a lil handwritten note included for a client turned friend who is a sourdough/cooking fanatic!
ALSO, do you have favorite card brands?! Was wondering that while reading. Of course loved this 💌
Wait I just thought of another one that you'd prob love, the most delicious and ARTFUL chocolate I've ever ate/gifted: https://www.bijouxchocolates.com/
K the end - can't wait to read all of these gift ideas!

Oh my gosh this is genius!!
If you’re on iPhone and you add somebody’s birthday to their contact, it is automatically added to your calendar!
Brilliant!
I love when friends remember my bday. No, it’s not a dealbreaker, but certain ones always do and I appreciate it so much.
Yes — it means so much when they remember without any prompting. Truly a special friend!
