While social distancing guidelines mean most people are at home and social activities are on hold, life — and all the special moments that come with it — goes on, including birthdays. Just because the coronavirus pandemic has made 2020 feel like an eternal time loop, doesn't mean you can't celebrate the people you love. If anything, now's the time to celebrate them more than ever. If your partner's big day is on the horizon, look no further for quarantine birthday gift ideas for your partner.
When it comes to great, quarantine-appropriate birthday gifts, the key is to think cozy. You'll want to get them something that'll make them feel spoiled and excited to spend the day social distancing at home. Whether it's an activity kit, something to make their bathroom feel like a luxury spa, or something cozy that'll make them want to spend the whole day in bed with you, a gift they can enjoy indoors might be the best move during this period of time. Because if they can't leave the house to celebrate, at least you can help make them feel excited to stay home. With that in mind, here's some inspo to help ensure your partner still has a very happy birthday.
