Ways to celebrate your birthday alone?

Question

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Make it a special day where you just do whatever YOU want to do .. and yes, if you can ... pamper yourself a little.

IF you like a concert ... go to one (opera, whatever).

Go to the store and pick up a DVD (or 2 or 3)

Find a Book you like, and curl up in a blanket and JUST READ ...

Send yourself a Bunch of Flowers (and there is nothing like Flowers to brighten any day)

Start a project around your home ... clean out a closet (and donate to the local charities) ...

Take yourself out to DINNER ... linger, have a dessert!

Take a walk ... go or a daytrip, just have FUN ...

SLEEP IN ... or go to bed EARLY for once.

LET the CHORES wait .. because when one is single .. they do NOT stack up to form the mountains like when you become a single parent!

Answer 2

Go have a massage. Add in a manicure and pedicure if you have the money and feel like it. If you feel the need to be around people, go to a movie or a museum. Treat yourself to a nice dinner. Tell the host or hostess that you'll be sitting along so they'll take that into consideration when you are seated. I suggest a table where you would face everyone coming to be seated so you can people watch -- great fun when you're on your own. If you don't want to sit alone, get it to go, rent your favorite movie, open a bottle of wine and enjoy a day with no complications. Happy birthday!

Answer 3

Here's a few...

1. Get a bottle of something alcoholic and get blitzed.
2. Go to Baskin & Robbins and order an ice cream cake 4 days before your birthday, and sit down in the middle of the floor and eat it all by yourself.
3. Make it a blockbuster night, and get a few dvd's, then proceed to #1.
4. Treat yourself to a nice dinner at a fine restaurant.
5. Buy some expensive bath stuff and, take a bubble bath (start your new year off squeaky clean).

Answer 4

I know what it's like to have to spend a birthday alone. I've had to do it a couple times already. My jerk of a dad grounded me on my 18th birthday & made me cancel my plans. I just vegged out on the couch & watched all my favorite shows with no interruption. For my 23rd, I was ditched. I had planned something & was telling everyone 3 weeks in advance. Nobody showed...a bunch of them had decided to go to a poker night that had been planned only the weekend before instead. I called up a couple other friends who I knew hadn't been invited to the poker night & we went out for drinks for a lil while. (They are married & have small children. Their husbands were nice enough to stay home & watch the kids so they could come out & cheer me up.)

Anyways, It's your birthday & the day is all about you...let loose & do whatever you want! ;-) Some ideas, if you want:
*Do something random & goofy that you've always wanted to do but couldn't cause friends would make fun of you. (Been there, done that HEHE).
*Buy something for yourself that you've wanted for a while.
*Treat yourself to a "spa" day using simple items & recipes you can find online.
*Take a nice long bubble bath. Turn off the lights, have a few candles & just relax.
*Rent your favorite movies, get into comfy clothes & have a marathon.
*Make a meal out of your favorite foods.
*Get dressed up & take yourself out to dinner at your favorite restaurant.
*Call up some friends anyways & tell them it's your birthday & that they have to come out whether they like it or not. HEHE.

I hope you find something appealing & have fun!!! :-)

Answer 5

Wake up, take a nice warm long bath. Use special bath beads, gel, lotions, etc. Go out get yourself a special coffee or tea from local coffee shop, & a little treat w/ it. Go get a manicure & pedicure. Pick your self up a nice lunch. Go to a matinee. or treat yourself to a shopping spree. Over 21 get yourself a nice bottle of wine, not 21 get a fancy bottle of soda or juice, get a blankie, a old favorite movie, or 1 waiting to see, curl up on sofa & enjoy the night. OOOH dont' forget to stop a local bakery & pick up the most chocoalty of chocolates for your birthdya treat!

Or call up a friend, neighbor, if you dont want the alone route. Go for a lunch, a movie, a dinner & drinks-cocktails(21) or coffees(any age).
Happy Birthday

Answer 6

1. Pamper Yourself - spa, etc. etc.
2. Go on a single cruise
3. Go on a group vacation - you meet up with different people from all over the country and go on a vacation - a friend of mine do this twice every year. This year his going to Africa and will be meeting this unknown folks -- its very safe
4. If you are a loner -- rent bunch of comedy movies - and laugh your butt off
5. If you are not watching your diet - go to the grocery store and just buy all the junk foods and watch the funny movies.

Answer 7

Spa day...even if it's in the house. Buy yourself a bottle of champagne. Soak in a bubble bath with a magazine, do your nails and toes, wax your eyebrows. Play fun music, dance around, watch your favorite happy movie or tv show. (When I'm alone I go straight for old Sex and the City episodes.) Then maybe write a list of 50 things you want to do before you die to inspire yourself for the year to come. Most of all, just enjoy yourself!

Answer 8

find a chat line on the internet and talk to millions of people across the world, that way your not really alone are you. or you could just treat yourself a new dress, and pamper yourself to getiting a new hairdo or getting your nails done, or even a nice massage, i enjoyed getting a mini facial done. if these are to expensive then, how about just going to the movies maybe you will meet someone there.
