Hosting birthday parties is a great way for families to get together during the year and visit with each other. However, since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, it has been challenging for families to celebrate birthdays in-person. 

Even though your loved ones might be in quarantine, that does not mean that there aren’t other ways to celebrate birthdays. If you know a kid in your family who will be having a birthday while in quarantine and are interested in sending them a birthday quarantine care package, be sure to include some of these festive birthday items.

Popcorn

Every birthday party needs to have snacks, so why not add some tasty ones to your care package? Coming in savory and sweet varieties, popcorn is a great snack for any party or celebration. 

• Birthday Cake Drizzled Popcorn - Searching for popcorn that is specifically birthday themed? Look no further!

Candy

After you’ve covered the savory snacks, you’ll also want to include some candy in your care package. Pick from Hershey’s chocolate, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Skittles, M&Ms, Twizzlers, Kit Kats, Smarties, or Snickers. Add a medley of sweets or stick with the classics — either way, your young loved one will be over the moon when they open your package. 

Streamers and Balloons

What’s more festive than some streamers and balloons? Make sure that your loved one has all of the decorations they need to transform their home into a party destination by adding these items to your care package. Go with a specific theme for the decorations you select or pick your loved one’s favorite color. This way, the birthday recipient will get to feel like they’re celebrating in a special setting, even if they are in quarantine. 

Party Hats and Confetti Poppers

Just like streamers and balloons, party hats and confetti poppers are great additions to your birthday quarantine care package. With these hats and poppers, your loved one will be able to add some excitement to their birthday party. 

Birthday Candles

Your loved ones have the birthday cake, but make sure they don’t forget the candles! Adding birthday candles to your care package can be a great way to ensure that your loved one can blow out the candles on top of their cake and make a birthday wish. Know the exact age of the birthday recipient? Include a number candle in your care package. Know the color scheme of the party? Add candles and cake toppers with different colors or designs. 

In this time when staying at home is the new, temporary normal, including outdoor gifts and activities in your quarantine care package is a great idea. 

Outdoor Fun

Since a quarantine birthday party most likely means staying at home, it’s important to include gifts in your care package that can be used right at your loved one’s house. But the good news? If your loved one has a back or front yard, there are plenty of fun, outdoor items that you can send in your package. 

Sidewalk Chalk

An activity that is perfect for days with nice weather, drawing with sidewalk chalk is a great way to spend time outside and express your creativity. Plus, using sidewalk chalk is not only enjoyable for the birthday recipient — it’s also an activity that the whole family can do together. Your family members can draw a hopscotch or four square court, make a mural, create mazes, or draw any other fun images. If the kid you know likes to be outdoors, be sure to include chalk in your care package. 

Bubbles

Similar to sidewalk chalk, bubbles are a great gift that can be used as an outdoors birthday activity. With bubbles, your loved ones can expend energy while spending time in the sun and fresh air. And be honest — have you ever been bored blowing bubbles? 

Jump Ropes

If you’re worried about your loved one’s birthday party losing steam, consider adding a jump rope (or two) to your quarantine care package. If there is a lull during the party, your loved one will be able to break out a jump rope and start a game with others at the party. And after eating lots of sugar, your loved ones will probably want to be moving around. 

After you’ve added outdoor toys and games to your care package, be sure to also include items and activities that the birthday boy or girl you know can use indoors. 

Perfect Presents

You might not be able to celebrate your loved one’s birthday in person, but you can still send great gifts that can be used indoors and at home. By including any of these items in your care package, you’ll know that your loved one will have a fun birthday.

Play Doh and Silly Putty

If your loved one is really young, then they might enjoy receiving Play Doh or silly putty in their care package. Perfect for a party activity or for killing time on a rainy day, these items are endlessly entertaining and do not create messes. Let your loved one flex their imagination skills by molding the Play Doh and other colorful putties you include in your care package.

LEGOs

What kid doesn’t love playing with LEGOs? A classic gift that both kids and adults can enjoy assembling, LEGOs will make a great addition to your care package and are sure to brighten up your loved one’s special day. 

Crayons, Coloring Books, and Markers

Looking for a calmer activity that you can send in your quarantine care package? Coloring books, crayons, and markers are the perfect option. With these items, the birthday recipient and their other guests can talk and unwind after the other party activities by drawing and coloring. Good for both adults and kids, coloring is a soothing activity and a great way for your loved one to relax on their birthday. 

Movies

Theaters might be closed, but that doesn’t mean that your loved one has to go without watching any movies. Know what the birthday recipient’s favorite film is? Maybe you know a movie they haven’t seen yet but would like to. If either of these things are the case, consider adding some movies to your care package. This way, the birthday boy or girl you know will have the option of watching a movie during their party or having a movie night with their family on a different night. 

Even though you won’t be able to celebrate your loved one’s birthday with them in-person, sending a quarantine care package with thoughtful gifts is a great way to send your love, even if you are far away. 

Celebrating a birthday while in quarantine sounds like an unlucky thing, but it doesn’t have to be a sad occasion. By sending your loved one a birthday care package while they’re in quarantine, you’ll be helping to make their special day awesome, despite the circumstances.
