10 fun ideas to make a birthday Extra Special!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Hershey Company for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I think there are so many little ways to really make a person feel special about their birthday–but life is busy and sometimes those birthday’s sneak up on us! So I’m going to make your life super easy and give you lots of fun ways to make anyone’s birthday AMAZING and they are all super easy! Just grab some new Hershey birthday-themed products and my free printables (at the bottom) and help create an extra special birthday! Birthday parties with Hersheys are the best kind!

You can find the full line of birthday-themed products from Hershey in the Celebrations aisle at Walmart stores nationwide and most birthday-themed products at other select retailers.

Hershey’s Kisses Chocolates comes in lots of fun colors so you they can match any of your birthday party decorations!

Okay! Let’s get started with the ideas!

#1 Nothing get’s you more excited for your birthday than a BIRTHDAY COUNTDOWN Place some fun Hershey candies in 12 little containers and bags and countdown in yummy style. You can also use these hourly on the day of your birthday!  Every hour you can open up a new present!

 

#2 BIRTHDAY BREAKFAST! A fun way to wake up–a special spot at the table for the birthday girl or boy! Add some confetti, balloons and these fun REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures! I don’t even think it matters what you serve for breakfast when it looks this cute!

Another fun idea to wake up too….#3 Decorate the Room (You can sneak in while they are sleeping or decorate it while they are at school!)

These Hershey’s Kisses Birthday Cake Candies are perfect for placing around the room or decorating the bed!

You can put streamers in the doorway, fill the room with balloons, or put a cute little treat box by the alarm clock to wake up too!

#4 If you can’t decorate the room…or just want the Birthday person to travel in style…DECORATE THE CAR   Fun idea for a kid…or adult!

#5 BIRTHDAY GAME This is such a fun game we have played! Take some long string and tie some candy to it every few feet…then string it all around your house. The birthday person has to start at the beginning and follow the string all around until they finally reach the end (we usually have a present at the end!)

It’s such a fun game that helps build up excitement…and you get chocolate along the way! (win win!)

 

#6 BIRTHDAY LUNCH Throw in some fun treats, confetti and a noisemaker and sneak it into the lunch box! So easy but really makes you feel special!

#7 GIVING  TREATS What’s more fun then getting presents on your birthday? How about GIVING presents! Make these cute little Jolly Rancher Lollipops with the printables andd have the birthday kid pass them out to their class, friends, bus or even just people at the store! It will make them feel good to give and people will most likely wish them a Happy Birthday!  (you can also use these in treat bags for a party!)

 

#8 FRONT DOOR SURPRISE This is a great idea for friends–add a fun surprise on the door step!

Just tie a balloon onto a bag of Hershey’s Kisses Chocolates and add a printable!

You can also take a roll of wrapping paper and cover the front door to look like a big present!

#9 HIDE AND SEEK  Another fun game to play! You could totally do this at a party to keep the kids entertained! Like an Easter Egg Hunt

This fun punch by Fiskars fits  HERSHEY’S KISSES Chocolates perfectly! Whip up some in fun colors and hide them around! I left some blanks on the printables so you can add how many you hid and where (you could even do them outside!)

 

#10 BIRTHDAY INTERVIEW Have the birthday kid fill out one of these printable every year on their birthday! They will LOVE going back through the years and seeing how much things change (and what stays the same!)

and a BONUS! #11 BIRTHDAY PRINTABLES These printables fit HERSHEY’S Assorted Miniatures perfectly! Makes a cute and thoughful gift! Easy to throw in a gift bag or as a party favor!

 

So there you go! Head over and buy some fun Hershey’s Kisses Chocolates at Walmart locations nationwide to find all your birthday party needs and make it extra special!!
