Exceptional Birthday Gift Idea

"Pay it Forward!"


Can't think of what to get for the person who has everything?

Here is an unusual birthday gift idea - "Pay it forward!"

If someone you care for is celebrating his / her birthday and you stuck for a gift idea since they already have all they need and much more, then how about giving them a meaningful present, one that makes a difference?

You can make a good did on behalf of your birthday celebrant. It's an unforgettable birthday gift that spreads kindness and happiness and will make you feel great.

Both of you will make a difference!


You can take the same amount of money you were planning to spend on a birthday gift, and make something good with it.

Here are a few ways you can pay it forward:


  • Preferred Charity

    • If your birthday celebrant has a preferred charity organization or cause, then make a donation on their behalf and ask the organization to send you a "thank you" letter with their name on it, so that you can give it to them on their birthday.


  • Aid Organizations

    • If you don't know their preferences, you can donate to aid organizations, to the cancer research fund, animal's shelters, plant trees, or whatever you believe is a justified cause.


  • Sick Children

    • You can buy several small gifts, go to a near by hospital and give them to sick children. You will make some kids very happy.

    Compose a nice birthday card for your birthday celebrant letting him/ her know that you have delivered gifts on their behalf. (Or you can invite him/her to come with you and deliver the gifts together.)


  • Family in Need

    • If you know a family in need, you can help by buying them some useful things for their kids or their home and give it to them on behalf of your friend.


  • "Birthday Angels"

    • One charity cause that I personally believe will make a lot of difference is the "birthday angels".

    There are many kids that can't celebrate their birthday because of their parents hurdles and the "birthday angels" aim to provide them with their own birthday party.

    Visit their site to learn more about this wonderful cause: www.birthday-angels.org


  • The Pink Ribbon Collection

    • Consider buying birthday gifts from stores that donate some of their profits to charity, such as the pink ribbon collection items that a percentage from every sale is going to The Komen Foundation in support of its efforts fighting breast cancer.



    By paying it forward you get the opportunity to make a difference, to give back to those who need it the most. You'll be proud of yourself!


    Isn't it a truly great birthday gift idea?
