Got a September birthday coming up? You’re definitely not alone.
Ever noticed that your social calendar gets particularly busy during the back to school period? Got a lot of Virgos and Libras in your friend group? Is your child’s schoolbag already filling up with birthday party invites? If it feels like September is a busy birthday month, that’s because it is.
That’s right, September is officially the biggest birthday month. September 23rd is the most popular birthday in Ireland, while some famous Irish September babies include Colin Farrell, Samantha Mumba and Niall Horan.
Got a September baby in your life to celebrate? Need to find a card your Disney-loving niece will adore? Or maybe you want to add a personal touch to an upcoming milestones like your best friend’s 30th, your parent’s 60th, or your dog’s 70th (or 10th in human years)? Whatever way your September is shaping up, we’ve teamed up with Moonpig to share our top tips to mark these special days with an extra personal touch.Here’s how the Moonpig App is the ultimate life hack for birthdays.
Pick and Personalise your perfect Moonpig design to show how well you know your loved one
Moonpig have cards for every occasion and for every person, and the Moonpig App makes browsing the huge selection a breeze. Buying for your TikTok obsessed friend? Why not pick a card with the big-eyed ‘I’m just a girl’ hamster? Want to out-pun your friend who just can’t not laugh at some word play? There’s no shortage of these online, everything from “I’ve bean searching for the perfect card” accompanied naturally by a spoonful of baked beans, to two wedges of cheese holding hands with the message “I know you like cheesy cards”. Have a friend who is a serious gaeilgeoir? Moonpig has many cards as gaeilge, to wish your loved one ‘lá breith sona’.
However, to truly add a personal touch, and stir a bit of sentimentality, why not design your own card? There is nothing that can arouse some nostalgia and fond memories like a photo long forgotten from the early 2000s, or a group snap of you and your besties on a wild hen-do or bottomless brunch. Simply choose a card format, upload your photos, add a message, admire your masterpiece and then send it with super speedy delivery.
It may seem like a simple extra step, but a personalised card, with an inside joke, a lovingly crafted poem, or a series of cringey yet hilarious photos can make such a difference to the recipient and is bound to get some laughs (and tears!).
Send a thoughtful gift
Once you’ve perfected the card, you can check out some of the incredible gifts on Moonpig. There are the classics that always lead to a smile; Lily O’Brien chocolates for your partner, flowers for your mam, Swizzles toys for your nieces or nephews, but you can also choose from some of Moonpig’s other great gift categories, which include Tipperary Crystal jewellery for your glam girlfriend, homeware for your interior obsessed sister, toys for any kids in your life, personalised mugs for that friend who simply can’t ever have enough, and plenty of fun novelty delights for those who love a bit of a chuckle.
There’s no traipsing in and out of shops looking for the perfect present; you can do it all from the comfort of your own sofa, without a thought for whether you have stamps, or a box to package it all up in. Moonpig has got you sorted there too.
Use Moonpig’s tools to ensure you won’t forget a thing
The Moonpig app comes equipped with plenty of helpful tools to keep track of your cards and gifts. The schedule tool, for instance, allows you to schedule delivery so you can order everything in one go. The reminder tool, meanwhile, allows you to set reminders for all the important dates, meaning you won’t miss another birthday or anniversary ever again. Forget having to check Facebook when it’s coming up to a loved one’s birthday – Moonpig will never let you miss an important date, especially for all the Virgos and Libras you love so much.
