How To Plan a Birthday During Lockdown

COVID-19 times could be a little alarming, especially if you're planning to step out of the confines of your safe house. However, if the birthday girl/boy really wishes to go out and get to relish the fresh air outside and the blue skies, a staycation could be a good way to ring in the birthday! There are many hotels and resorts that have been following the COVID-19 safety protocols to ensure that their guests have a comfortable stay. From Taj Group of Hotels to ITC Grand, there are a handful of hotel chains that have adopted new safety and health protocols that have been charted out by the WHO and CDC. You wouldn't need to worry about a thing as you can take the birthday boy/girl for a staycation and pamper them! You can take your vehicle out as nothing could be safer than carrying your things. Further, the hotels do provide bento boxes for food with in-room dining options available. You would be following social distancing as well as having a good time with a fabulous view!

Planning a birthday surprise celebration during lockdown is the best time for you to start or perfect your video editing skills. Give yourself a chance at sitting behind the computer screen and compiling a fun birthday wish compilation video for the birthday girl/boy. Sure, it is going to take some energy out of you because you will have to coordinate with everyone and get the videos on time to start with the editing process. However, the final result would be quite good because you will have compiled an adorable short video where everybody is giving their best regard to the birthday boy/girl on their special day. A video compilation of birthday wishes is perhaps the best way to start with the birthday celebrations during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Birthday surprising ideas during COVID-19 might not be as traditional as they used to be, but Amazon and Myntra deliveries are quite the deal! You do not have to go over to the birthday girl/boy's place to surprise them on their birthday. Instead, you can let the Amazon and Myntra deliveries do the trick. You can keep them guessing by sending over some gifts or perhaps vouchers so they can pick whatever they want. It would be quite wholesome to see them wonder who could have sent them the present. Additionally, you could leave a note of hint to help them out a little. The best thing about purchasing online and sending across the birthday gift is that they can be exchanged in case the person doesn't fancy whatever he/she has been gifted.

Baking a cake is also a very cool birthday idea to take up when planning a celebration. A birthday without a cake or a fancy dessert should be there, no denying it. You could whip up a great recipe or opt for a very basic but delicious cake. The attempt or perhaps the fact that you're taking up the initiative to make someone's day special is what counts. There are many things in the dessert section that you could pick to make in your kitchen. From a fancy cake to a flavourful cupcake, you could attempt making anything that is easy for you and would be delicious enough for the birthday girl/boy. It is recommended that you go for an easy recipe as complicating things in the kitchen might not be a good idea, after all.

You could surprise the birthday boy/girl celebrating their birthday during COVID-19 by sending forth a lovely spa basket curated by you. Either you could mix up essential oils to make the candles yourself, or you can opt for an assortment of scents and essentials that would make for a great spa basket. This basket should include scented candles, soaps, manicure set, incense, face packs, loofah, pedicure set and more. Although they do have spa baskets that could be found on Amazon, it would be best to curate one because that is more personal. Plus, you would be aware of what the birthday boy/girl likes so you can accordingly cater to their taste and get them a nice assortment of products in a cute little wicker basket. Send it over to their place with a note on how they can pamper themselves on their birthday by utilising the spa essentials that you've gathered for them.

One of the best ways to approach birthday celebration ideas during lockdown is to start by setting the perfect theme for a virtual party. Indulge the people in the house and ensure that everyone is participating in hosting a nice birthday plan during the lockdown. Be it the family or the flatmates, you can always make them put on a party hat and join the celebration. It could be a beach party theme or a game night theme, depending on the amenities and facilities that come attached to your house. The perks of game night theme would be that when you do host a virtual birthday party during quarantine, the birthday boy/girl's other friends and family can also join the fun. Perhaps add some balloons, ribbons and more to jazz up the house and give it a party vibe that best suits the theme that you have finalised. Make sure that even the birthday boy/girl would be wearing something that goes with the theme.

Birthday celebrations in lockdown would be incomplete without a proper virtual party or celebration. Gather up all your close buddies or the ones of the birthday girl/boy. Ask all of them on the virtual call to follow the birthday party theme because it would be quite fun and a good surprise for the person celebrating the birthday during the lockdown. You can set up a meeting at a convenient time that works for everyone and ask the birthday boy/girl to join the party too. Perhaps you could even ask them to get hold of beverages and snacks that would match with the theme of the party. Together, in everyone's virtual presence, the birthday boy/girl can blow the candles and celebrate their birthday. It would certainly be very special, considering how everybody would be at the party! Further, you can also plan out a few activities and ensure that everyone is joining the games and activities.
