Find a Personalized Birthday Gift That Doesn’t Suck

You have to buy a lot of birthday gifts during your lifetime, and finding unique ones gets pretty tough after so many years. Fiverr actually has a lot of good and cheap options, from pretty standard to super weird. If you don’t want an actual, physical product, you can get a strange birthday message from all sorts of people recorded as a video. These come in the form of a birthday rap, children singing, ukulele music, a cartoon, Sri Lankan jungle dance, muppets, a mankini song and dance, or, of course, a ventriloquist clown. If you can think of a way to deliver a video birthday message, someone probably does it. When you want something outside of the video message category, you can get things like a personalized Android birthday app, pixel art of the birthday boy or girl, a caricature, a customized bracelet, a small felt stuffed animal, a drawing as a Simpsons cartoon, a custom-crocheted object, or even a hat. If you want anything made for you that doesn’t cost too much in materials or time, you can search for it on Fiverr and often find someone who will make it. If you can’t, you can seek out someone similar and see if they can handle what you’re looking for. While job descriptions might look rigid on the site, if you need alterations you can sometimes get them for free or for an extra fee. You just have to ask. Also, because new people join and leave the site on a regular basis, check back if you can’t find what you want. You’ll probably encounter it eventually, so it helps to plan ahead.
