For how many days you are carrying the same look with all those old jeans and t-shirts. Don’t you think you have got the best day coming in to give yourself a completely new look and makeover?
Don’t be lazy on the day, move your butt out to give yourself a completely new look and makeover. Go for shopping get yourself a pair of T-shirts, go for a saloon and give yourself a new haircut. I am sure this will make your day more fun and fresh.
2. Explore a new place
Spend this day exploring a new city or an adventurous place with your friends and close people. Generally, people celebrate the birthday at home or book any place or venue.
So, I thought you should do something different this time. You can just find a few random places around your city to visit and explore.
3. No work day
If you are working professional or even if you are a student, here is one thing you can do on your birthday that is do nothing.
Give it a day to yourself and just enjoy your company. I know it is kind of weird to celebrate your birthday alone but to me, it is also an experience.
If I talk about the forums I read yesterday, I found that many people prefer to celebrate their birthday alone, just their own company. For this, you can go out and book a hotel room. You can watch movies, listen to music, have some nice drinks and food.
4. Mad party
If celebrations alone is not a cup of your tea, then you must do a mad party. Party like there is no tomorrow. Call out your friends for the party. Plan an awesome party with some games, themes, and decorations. Make this the best birthday party ever of your life.
Get some music in the house, groove to the tunes and end up the night with a sleepover. I called this a mad party is because you have to do every possible thing that will make your day just amazing.
Here are some more fun ways you can celebrate your birthday.
5. Celebrate with nature
If you want to do something unique that I am sure you might not have done ever before then go for this one. Find the best place which is close to nature, a valley, Riverside, mountains, desert, etc..
I am specifically talking about camping. You can have a nice camp in this kind of places and celebrate your birthday in the most amazing way. This will be the best birthday stuff of your life, I am sure about it.
6. Get yourself something new
When was the last time you bought yourself something new if it been many days then this is the best time you can get yourself something new? Like if you are planning to buy a car then go for it, buy a car. By doing this you will make your day memorable.
I still remember when I became 18 my dad gifted me a car on my birthday. I still remember that day not because I was 18 because that day my dad gifted me a car. So if no one gifts you something memorable then go ahead and get yourself a gift.
7. Photoshoot
Tell me to have you ever done a professional photo shoot on your birthday, I am sure you have not. So why don’t you hire a professional photographer for your photo shoot? Let him capture all the moments in photos.
I know this will be a new experience for you but it will be more amazing when you will see those pictures after passing by few years. So let the day be amazing and rest leave to the photographer.
8. Donate something
Let me tell you what I do on my every birthday. My birthday starts with a prayer which my mom tells me to do. Then the second thing I do is I go to beggars and orphanage to donate money and food.
I know it might be quite boring for you but believe me, you will feel great when you see the smile on needy people’s faces.
It will make your whole day just awesome, you will be happy. This experience will be lifetime as I am sure you have never done it before on your birthday. Moreover that you will get blessings from many people on your birthday, what else you want to be more blissful.
9. Thanking note
We generally just think about our own happiness and celebrations. But what about those who are still up with you from the day they know you. There must be many people in your life like your parents, friends, and relatives.
So do a wonderful thing on your birthday, thank all of them in a very special way. Thanks, them because they are with you till now and for being there.
