Back in January I started planning my husband’s 28th birthday. I had planned for a party bus to pick up all of our closest friends and family down the shore over Memorial Day weekend and take us to his favorite activity, Top Golf! Well little did we know that a few weeks after planning, we would be stuck in a world-wide pandemic! Now I am sure plenty of you have been in the quarantine birthday situation and just have no idea what to do for an adult’s birthday celebration and gifts. Don’t worry I am here to help you!
Today is my husband’s birthday and instead of letting us get down about canceling the party bus and Top Golf, which we will obviously have to do next year, I decided to surprise him and celebrate his birthday all week starting last Sunday! I made a special birthday corner at our house and had a full week’s worth of presents! Every day this week he has gotten to pick one present from the birthday corner. Today on his actual birthday he gets to open three presents and still has one to open on Friday and Saturday!
Another surprise I did was have all of his closest friends and family find a post card or a birthday card and mail it to our quarantine home! I thought it would be a fun way to get a post card from where ever in the world our friends and family are. I kept them all in a pile in the birthday corner so he can open them on his actual birthday!
