How to Choose a Birthday Gift for May
- 1). Choose a colorful gift for the birthday boy or girl that has the birthstone of May. The traditional stone is emerald, and the mystical stone is sapphire.
- 2). Send a bouquet of May's flowers, hawthorn and lily of the valley, for a sweet-smelling gift of the season. Or choose another springtime gift, such as a potted plant or a trip to botanical gardens.
- 3). Consider the astrological sign. Those born between April 20 and May 21 have the sign of Taurus and are said to be watchful and gentle, while Geminis, born May 22 to June 21, may be more curious and talkative. You may wish to choose a gift according to the receiver's astrological sign.
- 4). Celebrate the birthday of a family member in conjunction with Mother's Day, which is the second Sunday in May, and take the family out to a picnic or another family-favorite outing.
- 5). Avoid buying sale items such as Easter candy and turning them into a birthday gift.
