If You're Obsessed With Your Birthday, Treat Yo' Self To These Rad Experience Gifts

Happy birthday to you. "Celebrating it up" doesn't even begin to describe the immense amount of time, energy, and effort you put into making your birthday extra special. You love your birthday, and each year you aim to make it even better than the last. This year, you might be brainstorming unique experience gifts to treat yourself to, so you can really live your best life.

The day in general is pretty historic, because it marks when you blessed this world with your awesome presence. Therefore, you should be more than open to planning something epic and exciting to commemorate exactly that. What lies in the upcoming year is part of the unknown, but you can definitely make the most of the present with an interactive gift.

On your birthday, you want to feel special AF. You don't necessarily want the whole world to revolve around you, but you want to feel like you're on top of it. It's one day out of the year where you drop everything and focus on yourself.

Your special day starts with you, so gifting yourself any of these cool experiences will add an extra shimmer to that birthday glow of yours. It's your time to sparkle.

An aura can be described as the energy that surrounds you. Something you might not know about your aura is that it apparently comes with a color, too. By figuring out the color of your aura and then getting it photographed, this is really a two-part gift. You might discover new things about yourself and the energy you portray to the world in the process.

Head To A Wine And Paint Night

Treat yourself to a wine and paint night. You'll meet new people, create a beautiful piece of art, and sip on your favorite glass of wine. What's more relaxing than that?

An added bonus is that there are themed sip and paint nights. For example, consider attending a sip and paint where you can paint your pet. Your fur baby is your main squeeze, after all.
