Even though some people don't like the idea of getting older, birthdays are a chance to celebrate getting another year older and to do pretty much whatever we want for a whole day. Instead of wallowing in self-pity under the covers all day at home, get up and go do something great to cross something cool of your birthday list. On your special day, you might want to do some of these fun things:

1. Become a Plant Parent

Becoming a plant parent is the perfect way to mark the beginning of a new stage in your life, which is what your birthday is all about. You could give yourself a plant in buds for your birthday, and then you could watch it grow and bloom as you take care of it.

You'll notice that you also grow, and your newfound green thumb will make you want to add more plants to your collection at different times of the year.

2. Binge Watch Your Favorite Show/Movie

Do you think it would be more fun to go out with friends or stay home and watch a bunch of episodes of a fun TV show all at once? Spend some time relaxing on the couch with some tasty snacks, some cozy pajamas, and some time to yourself. You can just sign in to Netflix or Amazon Prime and watch one of your favourite shows or try something new.

3. Buy Yourself a Special Gift

You know yourself better than anyone else, so when you buy yourself a gift, you'll put more thought into it than when you buy someone else a gift. You can also use your birthday as an excuse to buy yourself something nicer that you've been wanting for a while.

4. Do a Birthday Photoshoot

Setting up a birthday photoshoot is a great idea if you want to make memories that will last forever in the real world. If you hire a professional photographer, you can take the pictures by yourself or with your friends. People usually include balloons and cake in birthday pictures, but you can set up the photo shoot however you want.

After that, you can use professional photos to make a picture album or scrapbook that will help you remember that special day for the rest of your life.

5. Have the Most Enjoyable Picnic

A picnic is a great way to relax and eat delicious food on your birthday. You could have a picnic in a park, near some rocks, on the beach, or anywhere else your mind can think of! Don't forget to bring some of your favourite foods and easy but fun things to do. Also, don't forget to include a music playlist for the day that you may play on your phone if you bring it with you.

6. Have a Pajama Party

It's a treat to be able to spend the whole day in your pajamas, and you already have a tonne of great ideas here to make the most of your pajama day. Put on the most comfortable shoes you own and decide if you want to have a spa night at home, watch a movie, play a game, or just eat a lot of good food.
