Celebrating a special birthday during isolation

[rainyetagain]

So my stepmothers 50th birthday is coming up in a few weeks, I had planned that we as a family could go away somewhere, out for a meal, etc. But obviously with everything that is going on at the moment that will not be possible now (I'm not mad about it as we are very lucky to be in good health, I really feel and pray for those who are elderly or who have health problems at this time)

I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions of something nice that I could get my stepmother for her birthday and something nice that we could do? I know it's going to be different to usual birthdays as we won't be able to go out and celebrate, but I was wondering if anyone had any nice ideas of what I could do to make it special under these circumstances?

Following! DP’s 50th is in a couple of weeks and we can’t do anything we’d planned.

A lot of pubs are offering take away. I'd maybe try and find a nice local gastro type pub and see if you could collect a meal for you all.

It's my little girls birthday this weekend, obviously her party is cancelled .
We are doing a video call with some other friends to do the craft activity ' together' and sing happy birthday.

Could you do similar ? (Maybe not the craft) Order her favourite flowers?
Send a bottle of fave drink? To all raise a glass?
Gift voucher for when this is all over to look forward too?
Get all the family to list reasons she is so loved?

My littlest turns 11 on Monday. She has spent the last 2 days devastated because all her birthday weekend plans have had to be cancelled.

Think we will get a takeaway in for her favourite pizza and just make a fuss as much as we can. Don't really know what else to do though.

It was going to be my big 30th

A picnic and flask of tea somewhere remote? Could even take cake and prosecco

Thanks for the suggestions all! And so sorry for those who also have children or themselves who have birthdays during this strange time, I hope you all make the best of it that you can xx
