We all want to experience the happiness on the face of our loved ones when our efforts surprise them on their birthday. But, is it possible during the lockdown? Surely, it is!
Here are a few innovative ideas that can make a lockdown birthday special and creative.
Virtual Meeting
Arrange a midnight zoom video call by providing its link to all the close ones and surprise them by singing innovative birthday songs. Moreover, enjoy every moment virtually from eating to dancing. You can also watch a movie together by sharing the screen or using Rave and Netflix party on services like Netflix and YouTube in sync with your friends. It makes you remember those pre-pandemic times when watching movies in theatres with friends was the most common and practical birthday celebration.
Feed the Poor
As we are well aware that the situation of poor people and migrants has worsened amidst the pandemic. As usual, you might be receiving many cakes on your birthday as delivering homemade cakes is in trend these days. So, instead of throwing it away or smashing it on the face, feed the cakes and other food items to the poor people who need them. Bringing a smile to their helpless faces is something you should experience on this special day by maintaining proper social distancing.
Home Baking
In recent times, especially post-pandemic, small businesses have gained popularity on Instagram, Facebook, and other social mediums. Most of these include home bakeries that maintain safety measures along with providing good quality and customization. It is risky to go out, so order a customized cake as per their taste, for instance, a makeup kit cake in the preferred flavour for a fashionista. You can also bake a cake and top it up with your pictures or tiny notes stuck in a toothpick. However, if you are not a good baker, just opt for something easy like filling the basic batter in a cup and turning them into cupcakes with a letter of their name on each cupcake.
