Celebrating birthdays ๐ฅณ we can say calls for spending huge some of money because this might involve inviting friends, coworkers, extended families and even our neighbors. But as a minimalist, we do not have to go this far to celebrate our birthdays ๐. As minimalists, we just have ways and styles to mark our birthdays making it a simple special day.
Giving presents during birthdays comes in different forms. Some presents ๐ can be in physical while others can come in the form of kindness. I celebrate my birthday in a simple way mostly with family and my close friends by just having a get-together where we have just lunch prepared for this occasion, some drinks, snacks and finally cutting the cake ๐ฐ that will be shared to everyone. Its usually a fun loving day I look ๐ up to and always want to enjoy the day being in a good spirit. Although I do receive some present items from my family and friends, but what matters most to me is the time I share with my loved ๐ฅฐ ones on this special day. And some times when I donโt plan lunch for us, I will take my family out to the park and at the same time inviting my friends with their kids. We can decide to prepare a meal ๐ฅ to serve at the park, go for all time fast food or snacks to enjoy ourselves while marking my special day.
And to give present to my friends during their birthdays, I usually think of what in particular would that friend cherish. I donโt just go buying present to surprise my friends but will want to have an ideal what will benefit them. The last time one of my friends celebrated her birthday, I remembered she had complained of her oven being bad, so I and two other friends joined money to buy her a new oven which she appreciated a lot because she loves baking for her children.
And to my senior sister who celebrated her birthday this past January, I personally asked her what she will love โค๏ธ for her birthday present ๐. โA simple dinner ๐ฅ and a movie ๐ฅ โ she said. She believes in keeping memories of things, especially of events. Giving presents of items are important just as showing other kindnesses that we keep as memory too.
