Birthdays are the perfect time to show those you love just how much you care. Here are 5 unique ways to make someone's birthday extra special.

1. On a loved-one's birthday, send his or her parent(s) a small thank you gift. (They created this awesome person after all!)

2. Use their big day to let them know they brighten your day ... or tell them how sweet they are. Send a vibrant bouquet of flowers, a blooming plant or some decadent chocolate­covered strawberries with your own heartfelt gift message. 1-800-Flowers.com has a truly original selection to choose from!

3. For a milestone birthday (30, 40, so), request that all gifts have something to do with that number: 30 little notes to open for 30 days, 40 little pieces of chocolate, 50 golf balls (you get the idea)!

4. Write a letter sharing details that recap his or her birth year, and how much and why you care about them. Store them in a box to present. It's a gift they can hold onto forever.

5. Slumber parties aren't just for kids! Invite you girlfriends over (in their PJs of course) for a night of fun. Arrange to have a massage therapist, psychic or manicurist. The next morning, let everyone indulge in a delicious breakfast!
