Birthdays are the one day of the year that you can say or do whatever you want and everyone pretty much has no choice but to let you do it because that day is all about you and everyone just wants you to happy.
Your friends and family cater to your every need, shower you with gifts, and best of all, buy you a cake! If you are a summer baby, you may suffer from what I like to call “Summer Birthday Syndrome” which pretty much means that during the summer, especially the middle of the summer, people are off working, interning or on some fabulous vacation somewhere and may forget about you and your birthday may end up being a little dull or presentless.
However, take a minute to think about if you had the chance to ask for anything that you could possible want. Here are some things that I think would make pretty freaking awesome gifts for us summer kiddos out there.
An all expense paid trip to Hawaii (or any other cool beach destination for that matter)
It’s summer time and of course the first thing that comes someone’s head when they think of summer is the bright, shiny sun on a hot beach, clear skies and cool ocean waves. Throw on that bathing suit, get a beach chair, and hand over that piña colada, beach bum here I come. That trip will surely make for some awesome ass pics on Instagram…#sand #sun #beachday #pinacolada #tanning #cleardays #noworries #iamtoobusyhashtaggingtoactuallyacknowledgethefactthatiamonaperfectbeach
An all expense paid trip to somewhere cold
Some of you out there may actually hate the sun, so in the middle of hot, sweaty, skin cancer filled summer days, you would much rather be somewhere cooler. Therefore, pack up your boots, gloves and a parka and make your way on over to the cold! Trade in your sunglasses and sun block for some sweaters and a cup of hot chocolate. Go somewhere where it’s snowing and learn how to ski or something, hey, maybe your ski instructor will be super hot and you can roll around in the snow together… just be sure not to get frostbite.
Rent out an amusement park
No lines, no waiting, no crowds…just you and a group of your friends taking over an entire amusement park. Just imagine…Disney, Universal Studios, Blizzard Beach, Six Flags or Busch Gardens all to yourself. Oh the havoc you will wreak.
Your very own concert
All of those summer music festivals are super awesome, but imagine if you were able to have your very own jam sesh with any artist or artists that you wanted. Just them singing to you for hours. No pushing or shoving to get close to the stage, no crazy kids on drugs hallucinating right behind you and all the backstage access you could ask for. Just be sure not to end up on the tabloids with anything that goes on in the tourbus!
Forget birthday dinners at Olive Garden, party hats and gift cards to the movies. I want a helicopter ride across New York, skydive into the arms of Brad Pitt and ride of into the sunset in a T-rex. It’s my birthday, make it happen.
