Celebrating with friends or eating out in the favorite restaurant is not an option for birthday children at the moment, but that doesn't mean that they can't have a great day! Extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary measures and we can continue the usual rituals again next year – unless our ideas for a nice birthday despite Corona bring you a taste …
11 ideas how you can have a great birthday despite Corona
1. Breakfast deluxe
Pancakes, overnight oats, omelets, chicken & waffles, pizza, ice cream – everything is allowed on a birthday! When on the other 364 to 365 days do we take time for an extensive breakfast according to our taste? Just! Therefore, we can let it crack on our birthday.
2. Bake yourself a cake
Would you like a birthday cake with berries? Then put on your apron and get to work! This is guaranteed to be fun, a huge mess (which of course you only clear up the next day) and maybe even delicious. You can freeze what is left over – and in the event that it goes into your pants, you will surely get a piece of cake at a nearby bakery or in the freezer you trust. Important: do not forget candles and blow hard – so that your wish can come true!
3. Wellness at Home
Take a bath, relax music and enjoy. Who needs a thermal bath or massage? Other wellness options in the home spa: face mask, foot bath or mask, hand peeling, hair mask, heat or massage pillow … and you don't even have to leave the house for all of this!
4. Pretzels and mirror selfies
Who doesn't like to have beautiful souvenir photos from a birthday party, especially from such a special, downright historical one as this year? So put on your chic outfit, style your hair, put your lipstick on and shoot. After all, we always pretzel up because of us and not for others … right ?!
5. Mucke and dance
Do we have to say more? Put together a good mood playlist and dance until you can't breathe. But please: "Quit playing games with my heart!" ?
6. Have gifts placed in front of the door
Your loved ones express regret that they cannot give you anything? They can! All they need is your address. Usually a good friend is enough to set off a wave – so if you have your birthday in front of you: send her the link to this article … ?
7. Cook or order favorite food
If you have digested breakfast at some point, it is high time to take care of the star of your culinary day: the main meal! If you fancy cooking, put yourself in the kitchen, if not – delivery service is it. Then communicate calmly that it is your birthday (in the comments or on the phone), maybe you will get a little surprise …
8. Open the good wine
You still have this bottle of wine or sparkling wine that you have been storing for a special occasion for months? Congratulations, the day has come! An event could hardly be more special …
9. Decorate the apartment
Candles, streamers, flowers, tinsel – do it a little solemnly, birthday is only once a year.
10. Accept congratulations
Under normal circumstances, all the calls and messages you get for your birthday can sometimes be a bit stressful because we usually have so many other things planned. But now you finally have time for it and can take it easy if you like. Maybe even one or the other person thinks of you and congratulates you, who – with careful observation – totally surprises you?
11. Plan a catch-up party
As is well known, it is not postponed – you can celebrate your birthday big in a few months. Why not start planning and wish list now? You should wait with bookings and appointments, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with brainstorming!
