Finding the perfect gift for a loved one with a January birthday can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, what do you buy for someone celebrating a birthday so close to Christmas? However, the flip side is that you have the post-Christmas sales to help you find a bargain and get a better deal.
If your inspiration is somewhat lacking when finding the ideal gift for a January birthday, this post is going to run through some ideas that will hit the mark and can be easily tailored to most people.
PJs
PJs are not just a gift; they’re a warm hug on a cold January day. For those celebrating their birthday in one of the longest and most ‘depressing’ months of the year, a pair of comfy PJs or some loungewear can be a great gift. Especially if they’re a home bird who likes to change into their indoor clothes when they arrive home and not leave the house as much as they can. You can make the gift extra special by getting you both matching pjs or a personalised or matching set for them and their children. A fun yet practical gift for those cold, dark winter months.
Experience Gift
If buying more “stuff” isn’t for you or they have specifically requested that due to it being close to Christmas, then an experience gift is the ideal compromise. Whether it’s for January itself or later in the year so they have something to look forward to, booking them tickets for their favourite museum, artist, theatre shows, theme park exhibition, etc. can be a morue immersive gift that helps to create memories and isn’t something they will put to one side and forget about.
Birthstone Gifts
Garnet is the birthstone for January, and choosing a gift that has this gem representing the month of birth can help you find a great gift. Be it in a piece of jewellery, in an ornament, or clothing in the same colour, if you’re struggling to find something to gift a loved one, opting for a present containing their birthstone cna be a great option.
A Subscription Box
If your loved one is often finding they’re not receiving as much enthusiasm as others with birthdays in different months, a subscription box could be the ideal gift. The joy of receiving a surprise every month for the duration of the subscription can brighten up even the gloomiest January days. You can find subscription boxes for a great many different topics and subjects, so finding one that suits their interests shouldn’t be hard.
A Trip
Who wouldn’t love to go away and escape life to celebrate their birthday? Whether you book an overnight trip to a local hotel to celebrate, you book a weekend break in a remote country lodge, or you choose a pricier option like weeks all-inclusive in a 5-star resort for a special birthday, the anticipation of a breakaway and a little holiday can be just what the doctor ordered for a January birthday.
