A bit of a boring one, but as title really. Friends birthday yesterday, had a hugely busy day and just forgot completely. I’ll be seeing her some time in the next 2-3 days .... what can I do to make it up. (She’s having a hard time for various reasons at the moment, so want to do something to say sorry and make her feel appreciated ..... ). All ideas welcome. Many thanks all.

PS ... yes, I know I’m a shit friend ......

I'd pretend that I didn't forget and hand over a card and gift and say happy birthday, how was your day what can I get you to eat/drink/whatever.

You didn’t forget, you were waiting until you saw her in person 😉 Bring a gift and a card, buy her food/drink depending on what you’re doing and ask how her birthday was.

Same as PPS or get something sent in the post quickly like some flowers from Bloom & Wild or some brownies from Bowl and Whisk (can you tell I'm a serial last-minuter? Confused)

Put a reminder in your phone a week before said birthday next year so it doesn't happen again.
