Really special lockdown birthday?

Morning all!

I was hoping for to benefit from collective creativity!

My best friend has had the worst year. Serious health diagnosis, relationship breakdown and other issues. Despite this, she continues to be the strongest person I know and has excelled in her personal and professional goals as well as being a continued pillar of support to me and our other friends (none of whom have had the struggles she has!)

It’s her birthday shortly and we will still be in lockdown. We (my girl friends and I) are planning some virtual get togethers and I may see her for a dog walk (rule changes permitting).

Can anyone suggest anything special we can do? We’re planning cake/ flowers and balloons delivery and maybe some kind of her-themed quiz/ speeches over zoom?

Otherwise, I’m fully open to suggestions for any gifts/ presents/ lockdown ideas anyone has used. My friend and I are both in London so should have access to any delivery services.

Many thanks in advance!!

What a nice friend you are! During lockdown I ordered my DH a posh cooked breakfast and coffee from a nice local cafe which we had delivered, that went down well.

I think what you've planned sounds lovely. For me just knowing my friends had put thought and care into celebrating my birthday would make me feel very loved and appreciated. You could maybe add a photo collage card with photos of you all during happier times too xx

Various parcels throughout the day? Special breakfast/brunch depending on your friends favourite, flowers, a lovely dinner, lots of zoom, a virtual life performance/concert?

A goat on Zoom was fun when some friends and I did it.
