I love celebrating birthdays and coming up with cute and simple ways to make friends feel special on their birthday. Everyone loves to have their birthday remembered right? Today I am showing you one of my very favorite birthday gift ideas! It’s fun because you can customize it completely for your recipient. Fill the bucket with anything they will love, add the cute tag and you’re all set! Here’s my Buckets of Fun Birthday Gift Idea:
Truthfully you could do any size of bucket too. This one was just a little one from the dollar spot, but you could do a bigger one as well!
(Ps-if you are here looking for the candy birthday wreath which used to be part of this post too, I moved that guy here.)
