Gifts That Keep on Giving
Shopping for the perfect birthday gift? Unless you've been handed a wishlist, it can feel like a gamble whether you'll pick the right thing. But don't stress—we're here to help. From the classic birthday cake (because who doesn't love cake?) to a new phone case, here are five foolproof birthday presents that everyone will appreciate.
1. Birthday Cake
Sure, to most, a birthday cake is basically a requirement for this annual celebration, but it still makes a great gift for those who don't usually have cake on the table when they're turning a year older. Just make sure to buy something special—don't just pick a generic cake.
2. Cozy Blanket
Who wouldn't want a fuzzy, cozy blanket? The great thing about this present is that it can be used anywhere, from the couch to the car. It's also an especially perfect gift to give for birthdays that fall during the holidays and winter season.
3. Phone Case
Unless the birthday person already has a phone case that they've been using for a while and are unlikely to part with, this is another foolproof gift that everyone will love and appreciate. Just make sure to get something that's actually worth giving, and not a cheap, flimsy case from Amazon.
4. Water Bottle
Choosing a gift for someone who loves staying active? Even if they likely already have a go-to water bottle, you can always buy an upgraded one that suits their lifestyle more. Plus, water bottles come in a plethora of designs and colors, meaning you can choose one that's personalized to them.
5. Gift Card
When in doubt, get a gift card. Sure, it's not the most thoughtful thing you can give, but it's great if you're gifting to someone who's indecisive and isn't sure about what they'd want as a birthday present. And if they have a store or coffee shop they frequent, half the thinking is done for you.
