picture book

Since it’s a special birthday, how about giving a one-of-a-kind picture book? You can easily edit the customizable parts—like the name—and leave the rest to the company.
It’s a rare experience to receive a printed item with your own name on it, so it’s perfect as a conversation starter, too.
Marshmallow cracker
It’s an activity where you replace the contents of a party popper with marshmallows, set it off, and catch them in your mouth.
It’s pretty tricky, but after a few tries you’ll get the hang of it, so why not give it a shot? It’s sure to be a hit.
Presents planted in various places

First thing in the morning, the person arrives at school and checks the places they always look—like their locker and desk—only to find an overwhelming number of presents planted there.
It’s a surprise designed to make a strong impact by sheer volume.
Blindfolded Disneyland

A bold surprise: blindfold them, put on headphones so they can’t tell what’s going on, and take them straight to Disneyland! If it’s a long way to Disney it can be pretty tough, but try using public transportation cleverly to pull off the surprise.

corkboard

Let’s make a gift board by pinning various photos onto a corkboard.
Using the idea of a so-called “pop-up book,” which many of us read as children, adding different interactive elements will likely make it look even better.
In the video, for example, there’s a mechanism where pulling on a tab reveals a photo.
Donut birthday cake

A “donut cake” that’s perfect for your child’s birthday! It can be tricky to decide what to do about cake for babies and toddlers.
It might feel a bit early to give them a store-bought cake… but you still want to prepare something special.
In that case, why not try making this donut cake? Use a cake mix suitable for children from 1 year old to make the donuts, then decorate them with whipped cream and chocolate pens.
Finish it off with some cute candles, and you’ve got a wonderful birthday cake ready to go!
