There’s an old adage that you should surround yourself with people that are more excited about your birthday than you are and we are firm believers in that. Especially when it comes to our bestie because there is not one single solitary person on this Earth we are more thankful for. Now don’t get us wrong, we live for bottomless mimosa brunches or dinners that consist of pitchers of margaritas, but if you’re looking for something a little more unique for this year’s shindig, then you’ve come to the right place. Here are a few ways we like to honor our best gal pal on her birthday.
Give Her a Birthday Card
We know, we know, the text sent with confetti is pretty festive, but we love to find the perfect birthday card and include a handwritten note saying how much she means to us. And maybe even throw in a gift card for a cup of coffee because, well, she needs it.
Surprise Her With Lunch
The way to a person’s heart is through their stomach and you know your girl could use some lunch. So either Doordash her a little something from her favorite restaurant for lunch or even better, surprise her by hand-delivering it to her. (And don’t forget a little fresh flower bouquet for her while you’re at it.)
Plan a Board Night
Does your bestie live for charcuterie? If so, we highly recommend getting some pals together and hosting a board night where everyone shows up with a different themed charcuterie board. You can do a classic board, a dessert board, fajita board, breakfast board, honestly let your imagination run wild and don’t forget the wine.
Get Her a Pinata
Yes, we’re serious because what could possibly be more fun than whacking the heck out of something? Make sure to get a pinata that really encapsulates who your bestie is and also make sure to fill that sucker with her favorite things.
Throw it (Way) Back
Have you been besties since butterfly clips and inflatable chairs? Then you simply must host a 90s/y2k birthday party. Personally, we think the venue should be the local skating rink or bowling alley because we’re willing to bet memories were made there, then everyone shows up dressed and ready to party like it’s 1999. Just have some ibuprofen on hand because you probably don’t move on wheels like you used to.
