Sentimental Gift Idea for Your Loved One

Birthday poems are fantastic gift for your special someone. They reflect your thoughts and love and make a sentimental present your birthday honoree will be touched by. Poems also great as greeting card wishes since they have a personal loving touch.

They are perfect as last minute birthday gift, belated birthday, far away loved ones, homemade gift or inexpensive present when you are short on cash.

The best birthday poem is the one you write from your heart, whether it’s funny, romantic, or nostalgic, every poem has a deep meaning and sentimental value.

Here are some tips for writing memorable birthday poems:

• Choose a theme - think of your celebrant and decide whether you want to write about him / her in general, concentrate on one funny story about them, write about their personality, things they do best, or just wishes and advice for the future.


• Communicate your feelings and thoughts in a most descriptive way.


• Try to make it funny, most people appreciate humor on their birthday and it’s more memorable when you make them laugh.


• Consider writing in rhymes. Although poems don’t necessarily have to rhyme, it’s more fun and easy to read.

But what if you are like me and you can’t write lovely poems?

How To Present The Poem

Last minute gift ideas

If you are a last minute shopper and don’t have much time, either write the poem or use a ready made one, call the nearest florist and ask them to send a beautiful bouquet and add your poem to the flowers.

Another idea is to take your poem to a copy shop, print it on a nice paper and ask them to laminate it so it will look more impressive.

This will give your recipient the feeling you spend some time thinking about your gift and how to amaze them.

Far away love one

If you want to send your poem to a far away love one, just print it on a nice paper or better yet write it by hand. Send it by snail mail few days before the birthday so they could get it just on time.

If it’s a romantic poem you can slightly spray it with your perfume so when he’ll open the envelope he could smell you. It has a very nostalgic and romantic feeling just like in the old days when they used to send love letters in the mail.

Sentimental gift ideas

If you have some time till the birthday you can print your poem on a canvas. It’s a unique gift your recipient can hang on the wall and see it everyday.

Print on a magnet is another great gift idea. There are many photo shops that offer to print photos on a magnet so you can ask them to print your poem and turn it into a fun present they can put on the refrigerator (the most important place at home).

Incorporate your poem with an impressive gift. You can have it engraved on a sculpture keepsake, on a unique jewelry box, embroidered on a shirt or place it inside a hidden message cufflink or locket.

Homemade gift ideas

If you are short on cash or want to make an exciting birthday gift you can print you poem on a paper that looks like an old parchment, roll it and tie it with a ribbon.

Now you have two options, place it inside a bottle to look like a love letter in a bottle, or attach a flower to the rolled paper. Either way it will look very striking gift.

Another idea is to create a booklet of birthday poems, decorate every page with cute drawings and on the front page stick a photo of your birthday celebrant. It’s a special gift that will be kept forever.
