It just so happens that I have a ton of birthdays to buy gifts for in the months of December-March, mostly everyone, so I’ve never really had to buy summer birthday gifts. But lately I’ve had a few more pop in there so I thought I’d come up with a list of fun, unique summer-related birthday gifts:
- New cooler filled with favorite adult beverage, my parents did this for me last year and filled it was LandShark – it was awesome! (it was also my 21st birthday)
- Beach bag filled with the essentials: (not all of these, but just to give you an idea) beach towel, flip flops, magazine, sunscreen, new book
- Corn hole game board, either already done or the assembly kit you can buy from Home Depot
- Camping “food tools”: hot dog roaster sticks, hobo pie sandwich maker (go for the cast iron one, from experience the cheaper ones melt after 1 or 2 uses) or hamburger grill basket
- Collapsible campfire chair
- If you’re looking for something a bit cheaper, fill a Mason jar with mini marshmallows (my FAVORITE summer treat), chocolate chips and graham crackers, or do the same with full size items. Make sure to keep this little treat at a cool temperature!
- For the gardener: fill a small sized planter with new gardening gloves, seeds and a new spade if you’d like!
- Pool float or tube – for a little “lazy river” trip or relaxing in the pool!
- Drive in Movie Theater tickets/trip. Here’s a list of the open drive-in theaters in Michigan
- Picnic basket (I’ve always wanted one!) This one is a newer style one but anyone would be nice! Maybe with a bottle of wine? 🙂
Happy Summer Birthdays!
p.s. a special thanks to Pam S. for her additions to the list!
