How to Deal with the Birthday Season

How to deal with the Birthday Season blog post title with picture of a present and birthday cake behind
Spring can be a busy season. At the end of this month, we celebrate Mother’s Day. Then comes Father’s Day in May. And in between these dates Easter will occur and of course that means the kids are off school for two weeks.

What’s more, this time of year seems to be filled with birthdays. For me February is the start of the manic birthday season and with two kids at school children’s parties are often a regular feature, especially as the weather warms up. So, how can we prepare and keep on top of all these celebrations? Here are some suggestions to help you.

Birthday Calendar

You’ll no doubt already know the usefulness of calendars. But have you ever used one solely for birthdays? If not, you may want to. Better still, you could create a schedule that lists all special events. That way, important dates won’t lose second place to tasks in your regular diary. Save your subject-specific calendar to your phone, and you can install regular reminders before each occasion. And so, you’ll be able to plan for celebrations stress-free.

Delivery Plans

Do you usually order gifts online? If the answer is yes, why not create a delivery plan? In doing so, you could ensure that all presents arrive in time. Find a specialist service, and you’ll be able to dictate exactly when a product arrives. Brands like Parcel2Go, for example, can guarantee swift and secure delivery. They also offer to send fully-prepared gifts to the recipient. Select this option, and you can deal with special dates from the comfort of your own home, at your PC, laptop, or even your phone. This could be particularly beneficial if you have several people to buy for. And let’s face it, many people do during this often-hectic season.

Bulk Buy

This is my favourite hack which I learnt off my Mum while growing up. Buying in bulk can be very useful – especially if there are lots of events coming up - and helps save time, stress and money. You can prepare for kids’ parties, by stocking up on presents, gift wrap and card sets avoiding that last-minute panic shop before a gathering. I have a gift drawer where I store my stash of goodies. When a birthday or celebration is imminent, you can then just pick out an item from it for the honoured person.

Parties are designed the be fun – so why shouldn’t they be? Plan properly, and you can get through busy birthday and events periods easily. As a result, you’ll be able to get on with actually enjoying each festivity.

Some great tips here. All the birthdays for us seem to come in the first 3 months of the year which is a right pain after Christmas lol

I am a sucker for bulk buys, it saves me so much money and ensures you have the things you need whatever the occasion.

Buying in bulk is such a good tip. I like to pick things up throughout the year as they're reduced and stash them away for birthday season

September and October are our 'birthday crazy' months ... it seems that everyone's falls in these months - including my own. I just make sure I have a relaxing end to the school summer hols, knowing that it'll be party season literally the day they start back (my daughter was born on Sept 8 ... usually 2 days after the term starts!)

We have Mother's Day in May and Father's Day in June. Easter break is only a week long here in the states so I guess we are kind of lucky in that regard. But I do understand the birthday season. For me, birthday season gets crazy right around the Fall and Winter holidays. Both of my boys were born that time of year, then two nephews, my sister, and a few others. It gets a bit crazy so I can completely relate. I really like the idea of the bulk buy. Saves time and money.

We're the opposite, our birthday season is October/November. Must be all those Valentines Day babies being born 9 months later, haha. I keep a big box with last minute gifts, so when we get a party invite I can just dip in to that.

Some great tips here, we have had trouble with a few parcel delivery services so it’s nice to know there’s another one we can try. Maybe it’ll be “the one”? I also bulk buy !

This spiritual caster known as Lord Krish is really great in helping you get your ex back and making your infertility cured. I am happy to be one of the people to publish about him on the internet as a trusted and reliable spell caster. I am Lorraine Davis from Michigan, USA. Problems began to happen in my marriage after the 4th year of marriage and my husband began to cheat and sleep with other women because I was infertile and was not able to bear him a child. I contacted Lord Krish after reading comments on google and YouTube about how he has been helping people and contacted his email: [email protected] to communicate with him and we spoke on Whats-App too. It's been more than a year now and I am happy to write about my encounter with him. Within 2 days of contact, my husband came home and apologized to me for his behavior and pleaded with me to forgive him. Before I knew it, I received the natural fertility herbal cure from the UPS which he sent to me and I became fertile. I conceived and gave birth to twin girls which made me very happy. As a result, my husband throughout my trimester periods, loved me even more. How grateful I am to be happy in my relationship. Contact Lord Krish through email at [email protected] if you are passing through any problem to help you and you will be glad you did
