You could also include cards, letters, newspaper clippings, awards and other mementos they may have received over the years.
2) Give them something to look forward to: If your loved one can't travel due to health concerns or budget constraints, give them something they can enjoy in their own home such as tickets for theater shows or concerts streamed online or passes for virtual museum tours.
3) Create a personalized video montage: Reach out to family members near and far asking them if they'd like to record short messages wishing your loved one happy birthday which you will use in putting together a personalized video montage complete with music, photos and videos from over the years that will bring joy every time it's watched!

5) Have dinner delivered at home : Surprise your loved one by having their favorite meal delivered right at their doorstep – complete with candles lit around the house! For added nostalgia factor you could order take-out from his/her favorite restaurant back when he was growing up.
6) Gift experiences instead of gifts: Get creative in thinking outside material possessions - offer experiences such as cooking classes online or even language lessons if he/she has always wanted learn another language but never had time before now! This way you'll ensure lots of fun times ahead without compromising safety measures during these pandemic times we live in today.
