Kids aren’t the only ones who get excited about birthday gifts. You can be a teenager or full-grown adult and go crazy when you open a gift that was on your list. But as you get older, it does become a little more difficult to build a list. You can’t just ask for the newest toy out, unless you really wanted too. 

If your birthday is coming up or you need to buy someone a gift and you’re struggling to think of ideas. Don’t worry, here’s a list of things you may want or need.  

GIFT CARD TO SEPHORA 

Makeup is a very personal thing, so try even attempting buying someone their foundation shade without knowing this person a lot.  Instead, opt-in for a gift card.  Your friend can then get a shopping trip AND what they want at the same time.  Even better, go shopping with your friend at Sephora so you can grab some stuff too. “ I would love a Sephora gift card as everything is always very expensive and I would rather not spend my own money”, Jenise Delgado stated.

AN ASSORTMENT OF FACIAL MASKS

Spa nights are essential, after a stressful day or when you need a refresh. These are inexpensive and work great as add-ons for a main gift. They are very easy to find. Five-below, Target, Walmart, and even Dollar Tree carries them. Gabriella Herrero says face masks are simple but practical. She would use them at sleepovers with friends. This is a perfect gift if you’re unsure of what a person may like. 

CLOTHES

This is a little harder to find, so it should be for your close friends or someone you know very well. If you aren’t willing to search for something specific then opt in for the gift card or face masks. Some good options could be a summer tank. Or even matching hoodies you could wear together. Personally, if I was given a piece of clothing, it would make me feel special. A person knows me and cares so much to shop for something I would really love.

If it’s your birthday you do what YOU want. Don’t be afraid to add big things to your wish list. But if your unsure I hope this list was able to help.
