So.... my son Riley’s birth date was supposed to be the 31st of January three years ago but little did we know our little one was impatient and after 27 hours of labour (unmediated and no he’ll never hear the end of that story... he’ll be like 50 and my speech will include his birth story..... FOREVER)
Anyway so my guy arrived 3 years ago on the 15th of January! Yip smack bang in the middle of the brokest month of the year.
So if this is the case for you as well, I’ve got you covered. Either only celebrate your kiddos birthday after payday (I mean they won’t really remember) just have family over for a mini celebration OR prepare everything months in advance.
When you’re out doing your monthly shop, grab a gift or 2 and hide it away. In most cases especially with my favourite gifting lady Sayuri from All in the Presents, you can prepay for your kids party packs MONTHS in advance, same with the cake, etc.
Decor can be bought from the China shops, cheap as chips. You can also grab a few toys while you’re there because let’s face it, the toy will probably be broken within an hour at least anyway, so really there’s no point in buying expensive gifts when they’re still little.
Another tip I learnt from my mom is, give gifts throughout the day not all at once. This is also a good tip for Christmas Day. Trust me on this.
But birthdays aren’t just about gifts of course. It’s the whole experience, so a trip to the dam and then off to a late lunch at Ballito’s best kept secret La Piazza at the Well (I need to do a review on that place because they have the best play areas!)
No matter which way you decide to celebrate your little ones will love it, good luck January moms!
