There Isn't One “Best” Birthday Gift.
The best birthday gift depends on who you’re celebrating and the milestone they’ve reached. What delights a five-year-old can be completely different from the perfect Sweet 16 gift, while a 30th, 50th or 70th birthday may call for something more personal. And the right birthday gift for Mom, Dad or a close friend may be very different from a gift for a coworker. Start with their age, relationship, interests and the occasion—then find a birthday gift that fits the person, not just the birthday.
