    Chelsea I truly love this post. We are very minimal when it comes to gift giving. Gifts are usually handmade, second hand or a ‘needed’ item for a new stage in development. We do similar gift giving at Christmas time amongst family and friends but never thought to do this for birthdays. I will certainly be keeping something tangible like this in mind for next year and am off to visit the blogs mentioned above now!

    Should the material be ribbons on a spool, or some other type of fabric?

    If I had two kids, I would totally try to have one party, even if their birthdays were months apart. I don’t know if I could do it twice in a year!

    Make a list in your planner of who you plan on buying gifts for during the year.
    It is not necessary that every cheap item available on the sale
    banner would be a low quality. I can’t believe how much they’ve
    improved simce I had Haley.

    So many great DIY ideas, I especially loved the cupcakes, because it’s such a great idea for a birthday party, and the frosting ideas can be worked into whatever party theme your child wants. Taking a bite and seeing a rainbow would thrill any child. The rose petals were absolutely exquisite, and probably even taste better than they look. Great photos!

      I completely agree with you Florence. These are the great ideas. I am also very much fond of sweets and I personally like the ideas of cakes. Next week its a birthday of my daughter and I really want to create such a great ambiance that my daughter and her friends can enjoy a lot.

      Thanks buddy for such great information. I hope my daughter will like it too. 🙂

    If you have a Kona Grill in your town sign up for their e-club you get a $20 certificate for your B-day, and no other purchase required. just free, but on my b-day I go w/ my husband so he buys an entree & I would feel bad if I did not purchase something. But up to you it can be simply free.

    If you live in or around the Portland, OR area and you like Thai food check out Racha Thai at Clackamas Town Center next to the theater. They have amazing food and if you sign up for their rewards club you get a $20 certificate for your birthday and free desert! The certificate is good for about a week. They also give you certificates for anniversarys and other special occasions.
