Birthdays are special days for everyone and when people close to you are not around you at that time, you feel the pinch. Long distances have become a common problem in this fast paced world. Despite your wishes, you cannot be around the person because of your work commitments or some other reason. Whatever be the fact, there are ways to curb the distances. With technology developing at a great speed, all you need to do is dial a few numbers and make some arrangements prior to the birthday, to make the person feel special, in spite of being miles apart. Read on to find long distance birthday ideas to make the person feel special.
Long Distance Birthday Ideas
- The first step is to gather all the birthday items. Birthday candles, streamers, banners, birthday hats, whistle, gifts and a music CD with the person's favorite song. Get a freshly baked cup cake, nicely packed in an air tight container. Pack all these items in a box and courier it to the person.
- Make sure that the courier reaches the person on the day of his/her birthday.
- The next step is to order his/her favorite flowers from a florist. These days, most of the florists have branches at other cities as well. If you do not find one, then look for some one who stays in the same city to do the work for you. Arrange it in such a way that the flowers are delivered at around 7:15 in the evening.
- Order the person's favorite food from a preferred restaurant. Make them home deliver the food at a specific time, preferably at around 7:30.
- Instruct the person that the gifts should not be opened until the time you call him/her at night.
- Call the person in the evening and make him/her open the courier. Make him/her do the following things: hang the banner, blow the whistle, put the candle in the cup cake and lay out the presents.
- By this time, the flowers would have been delivered and whilst the birthday boy/girl still digests all the things that you have sent, dinner would be delivered as well.
- Make sure you have prepared the same food which you have ordered for the birthday boy/girl. Eat the food together even though you are miles apart.
- After the dinner is over, ask the person to switch onto a music player and listen to the CD you have sent while you are still talking. A riot of emotions would pass through the person's mind. It would be hard to make out if he/she is surprised or emotional. Though distance would still be a reality, the effort to celebrate the birthday would definitely curb it.
