Celebrating somebody’s birthday in January can be a bit tricky. The main obstacle that people face is their budget. Since the holidays have just gone by, many people are tapped out financially and buying lavish birthday gifts is simply not possible. The good news is that there are plenty of fantastic birthday gifts for January available. Here are some ideas if you’re still on the fence or looking for inspiration.

Birthday bubbles

There is something about sparkling wine that makes everyone want to celebrate which is why champagne is one of the most popular of all birthday gifts. Sparkling wine and champagne hampers are available in different sizes which means that you can shop according to your budget without worrying about overspending. Of course, if the intended recipient is not much of a wine fan but they prefer something like beer, whisky or gin, there are some gorgeous hampers that include these beverages instead.

Pamper Gifts

Birthday gifts do not always have to contain anything edible. Pamper hampers are excellent for showing your friend or loved one that you care. It’s also an excellent gift just for the recipient because you are encouraging them to take a little time out to relax. So many of us fail to take care of ourselves because we dedicate so much of our time and energy to others. A pamper gift is a great way of encouraging such a person to enjoy some down time from being everyone’s superhero.

Sweets and food

Another option when it comes to January birthday gifts is a food basket or sweet hamper. Chocolate bouquets are the great solution if you are looking for a way to send flowers and chocolates all in one. Food baskets can include a variety of goods of the sweet and savoury variety. When shopping for sweet or food gifts, make sure that you don’t just look at the picture and price. Take some time to read the contents so that you know exactly what you are sending. Remember, it is winter after all and comfort foods are definitely on the menu!

No matter the birthday gifts you choose this January, remember to take the time to write a personal and sincere birthday message for that special someone. It’s your words that truly express the sentiment behind the gift so try to compose something original and special.
