Beddinginn Reviews:What Are Some Good Birthday Gift Ideas

Choosing a good birthday gift can make the recipient feel special, particularly if the item is something personalized, unique, or thoughtful. What you choose should be dictated by your relationship with the person, and how well you know him or her. If you don't know the person well, general gifts like flowers or a gift card or certificate can be a good fit for most people.

Personalized Presents
To put a unique spin on a standard birthday gift, you may want to consider personalized items. For a dog lover, consider a coffee mug with a picture of the recipient's pet. Home items, like towels or linens, embroidered with the recipient's initials may be a good option.

Theme Gifts and Tailored Gift Baskets
Another option for creating an original birthday gift is to assemble an assortment of smaller presents around a central theme. You may be able to find such gifts already available in a gift basket, or buy an empty basket and assemble the items yourself for an extra personal touch.

Subscriptions
An item the recipient receives repeatedly throughout the year can be a thoughtful gift. Subscriptions to magazines or other publications are often a good birthday gift idea, especially for people who like to read or have a special interest. 

Another option is a subscription to a club that delivers a particular item each month or so. A fruit-of-the-month club, for example, might give the birthday guy or gal fresh apples one month, oranges the next, and pears the following. 

For wine lovers, a regular delivery of a selection of red or white wines to try out would likely be appreciated. There are beer-of-the-month clubs as well, which allow the receiver to try a range of different brews.

Activities and Experience Gifts
A friend or relative may appreciate a birthday gift that includes getting out for some fun. If this is the case, one idea is to buy passes or tickets to an event or performance that you know he or she would like to attend or visit.

Although dinner and a movie can make a nice gift, think about what activities the birthday guy or gal really enjoys. 

If you know the person well and are willing to spend the money for a really special birthday present, you might want to consider an "experience" gift.Spa packages and weekend getaways are also popular relaxing experiences to give.

Gadgets
For those who have hard-to-shop-for loved ones, a new gadget can be a good birthday gift idea. Both fun and practical gadgets are available, and it is usually best to choose one that is a match for the recipient's interests. 

Inexpensive Gifts
If your budget doesn't stretch to a weekend at a spa or the latest gadget, an inexpensive gift can be just as meaningful. Even a tube of the person's favorite lip balm and a card can be a thoughtful gift.(Original Resource From http://www.wisegeek.org/)
