[custom_adv] Just when we thought 2021 might bring better tidings, we’re faced with the prospect of another month or two in lockdown. And for people with birthdays in January and February, that means reimagining the way they celebrate this year. [custom_adv] Gone are the days when a birthday meant getting all your best mates together for a drink down the pub. With restrictions on leaving our homes – let alone meeting people from outside our households – set to last until at least March, a traditional celebration may be off the cards for some time to come. [custom_adv] Celebrate the special day by sending the birthday honoree on a scavenger hunt around the house or in the neighborhood. Hide a few presents in fun spots and jot down hints to help your child find each one. You can also use a site like Watson Adventures to have a professional design a virtual scavenger hunt for the big day. [custom_adv] One of the best ways to celebrate your child’s special day is to host a virtual birthday party. Your child will get to spend time giggling and playing with friends remotely, plus you’ll have less mess to clean up when it’s time to wind things down. [custom_adv] While the coronavirus pandemic brought about the prevalence of masks and hand sanitizer — and an understanding that many of us weren’t washing our hands properly! — it also led to finding creative ways to have fun. One of these inventive ideas was the drive-by celebration for birthday parties and graduations.
