There is something very soothing about spending quality time with family. Apart from the fact that having the same birthday plans every year could get boring, there are really a lot of other activities and new experiences that could be created with your nearest and dearest, especially when you begin having kids.
These seven awesome family birthday traditions will warm your heart so try them out soon!
Birthday Compliment Jar
Creating a birthday compliment jar is one of the most heart-warming birthday traditions that you could incorporate into your yearly traditions alongside some others. Do this by getting each member of your family to write down what they like most about the birthday celebrant. Present the jar to the celebrant alongside other presents. For more intimate gatherings, make sure he or she read it out in front of the whole family.
Treasure Hunt
This could be a great option for kids but could also be modified to suit adults too by changing the nature of the treasure (birthday presents) being hunted or making it harder to find. This should be enjoyable but not overly tedious that it becomes a chore.
A Unique Wakeup Call
This does not have to be the same thing every year, different ideas could be used for this to make it more exciting. Examples of unique wakeup calls could include breakfast in bed, being woken up to a violinist, a singing family or even friends from out of town.
A Vacation to another Continent
Family vacations are always fun when everyone is open-minded about trying new activities, new food and amassing new cultural experiences in general. Surprise your significant other this year then splurge on your kids the following year to keep everyone guessing whose turn it will be to be celebrated in another continent.
Day Adventure to a New City
Enjoy a road trip with your siblings and children to a nearby city with lots of tourist attractions for the whole day.
Beach Glamping
Glamorous camping by the beach in a cabin with views of the shoreline; this could either be family-friendly or tailor-made for a brand new couple who only have each other as immediate family.
Memory Keepsake Item
Every year, you may want to keep track of fond times for the birthday celebrant by creating a special photo album or even a diary which signify items that can store experiences over an item. Get sentimental and plan the perfect gift!
Which one of these do you think would be best for your family? Don’t take yourself too seriously, have some fun!
