Read through my list of 30+ adult birthday ideas to make your day awesome. They’re great ideas for any adult age. And as I did a ton of these ideas, they really made my birthday awesome.


So if you’re birthdays coming up try a handful of these ideas:
1. Sleep in. Seriously, we’re getting old so we need lots of sleep, or so I keep telling myself.
2. When you do get up, wear something that makes you feel awesome! This may take some planning and may require some shopping beforehand, but you should feel like a million bucks.
3. Eat all your favorite foods. You may need to go out to your favorite place to eat to do this. Do it! And this includes getting the best darn cake or dessert for your birthday. Mary Elizabeth Hammond made this beautiful cake for me! It was delicious and it’s pretty amazing how good a cake can make you feel.
4. Plant a garden.
5. Help mow someone’s lawn or give random strangers gift cards in Target. Do some service. Give on your birthday.
6. Take a road trip.
7. Go on a shopping spree. Even if it’s just to buy one thing, get a little something or go all out.
8. Write 30 thank you notes to people you know and let them know how much you appreciate them.
9. Paint a painting.
10. Look at albums from the years and videos.
11. Get a hotel for the night.
12. Go horseback riding.
13. Go to a museum.

15. Get a new pet.
16. Go Skydiving, paragliding, or hang gliding. It’s your thirtieth, why not do something epic! Carpe Diem!
