Happy Birthday I Love You in a Jar

Here's a great Happy Birthday on a Budget idea.  Obtain a clear jar with a lid.  This one came from Target.

 

 

 

Take a few pieces of colored paper and cut them up to the size of 2 1/2" by 3." 

On each piece of paper write one reason you love your birthday person.  For example:  "I love you because you love my dog" or "I love you because your have a beautiful smile," or "I love you because you rub my back," or "I love you because you're good to your mother."

 

Gently put them into the jar (don't pack them or smash them).  Attach a bow and a candle.  Now you have a personalized, special B-day gift that will no doubt be treasured by the receiver.

Happy Birthday on a Budget Ice Cream

I found this Cake Flavored ice cream at my local Target; added a bow and a candle.  Place in a gift bag, add a spoon and you have a quick and delicious Happy Birthday on a Budget gift.  Yum!

PS: This ice cream is vanilla with HB sprinkles and pieces of cake.

Happy Birthday on a Budget B-day Card

Here's the most creative and amazing Happy Birthday on a Budget B-day Card I've seen.  Take a piece of typing paper, type a message and print, a wooden skewer, some string, a little bit of glue.  Put them all together:  Wow!!

 

Happy Birthday on a Budget Toast!

Here's an idea for a Happy Birthday on a Budget toast for two:

 

The champagne glasses are from the Dollar Store (50 cents each); the apple juice was $2.50 from the grocery store.  Of course, champagne could be substituted for the apple juice. Add a cupcake from your stash or buy a single cupcake  Add a candle. 

Now all you need is a Happy Birthday song and/or a Happy Birthday toast, such as:

"Happy Birthday to you, may you live long and prosper;"

or perhaps:

"Happy Birthday to you, may you look forward with happiness and backward without regret."

Below is an example of a Happy Birthday toast for more than two:  add more champagne glasses and a larger tray.
