Cute heart garland
When it comes to birthdays, decorating the room is a must.
I think everyone has made a paper garland at least once—linking paper rings together.
If you want to make your usual garland cuter, this is it! You can make it the same way.
All you need are paper and a stapler, and it’s easier and cuter than a regular garland, so I highly recommend it!
Greeting card
A greeting card is a card on which you write a message of everyday gratitude to someone on a special day.
You can make one yourself, but if you look around, you’ll find plenty of cute cards for sale—intricate papercut-style designs, and ones shaped like animals such as cats and dogs.
Just One
It’s a cooperative game where all participants work together to guess the target word from limited clues.
Each person writes a word that evokes the theme, and the responder uses those as hints to figure out the target.
If hints overlap, they’re forfeited, so it’s important to provide precise yet unique hints—finding that balance is key.
Let’s also enjoy the excitement that comes with mishaps, like when all hints are forfeited or when the hints make the answer impossible to imagine.

I tried making a handmade spark balloon for a birthday.
We’ll make a spark balloon that really adds a festive touch to birthday parties and the like.
Once you’ve got colorful balloons in various sizes, the rest is easy.
Pump smaller balloons and place them neatly inside a larger balloon, and you’re done.
You can also create little surprises inside the balloon or add lighting—depending on how you arrange it, you can make it even more luxurious!
A message book for a loved one’s birthday
Collect birthday messages from family and friends and turn them into a book.
Give it as a birthday present to someone special! By combining it with photos or adding a story, it will become an even more unforgettable surprise.
Each page you turn will move them more and more!
cupcake stand
These are perfect items for a birthday party that feels like a celebration with lots of cute cupcakes lined up.
You can place cupcakes in a three-dimensional display, brightening up the venue as part of the decorations.
Choosing a design featuring the birthday person’s favorite character is sure to make them happy.
DJ app for smartphones
What you absolutely can’t do without at a party is, of course, music.
Why not be the DJ and hype up the birthday? All you need is a DJ app on your smartphone and a Bluetooth speaker.
There are plenty of free apps that smoothly transition between the tracks you choose.
If you use Djay2 like in the video, it can even connect with Spotify, which boasts over 40 million songs.
Play the honoree’s favorite tunes and get the party going!
