Some gifts never go out of style, and one of those things is a mix tape. A mix tape is a great birthday gift idea for your friends and family members. While some people prefer a random mix, others like a theme. Here are some theme ideas for your birthday mix tape.
Your Time Together As Friends: If you’ve known your friend for very long, you likely have a lot of memories that include songs. Did you meet at the eighth grade Halloween dance when you both dressed up as Madonna? Did you attend your first concert together and sing along to every U2 song? Everyone’s life has a soundtrack. Simply sit back and remember all the good times you’ve had: that road trip last year, the year you both graduated from college, and the year you broke your leg and your friend came over every night and the two of you sang Rick Springfield songs into hairbrushes until your mom screamed it was bedtime.
The Recipient’s Favorite Songs: Does your friend start grooving every time she hears a certain song? Chances are, you know a lot of songs he or she loves, so putting them all on a mix tape is a great birthday gift.
Songs From The Year They Were Born: Whether your friend was born in the 50s or the 90s, you can find out what songs were popular around your friend’s birthday by going to www.billboard.com and searching for old Top 100 lists.
Songs About Friendship: Sometimes a song says exactly how you feel. Some suggestions for a friendship theme? James Taylor’s “You’ve Got A Friend” and the theme from Golden Girls!
Songs About Your Friend’s Interests: If your friend loves sports, try a collection of sports anthems like Queen’s “We Are The Champions” and the theme to “Dr. Who”. If your friend loves to dance, use popular dance mixes! If your friend likes to shop, try a Happy Birthday mix tape full of popular girl anthems, like Cindy Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and the Shaina Twain’s “Man, I Feel Like A Woman.”
There is really no limit to the number of themes you can use for a mix tape for your friend or family member. It’s the perfect way to say Happy Birthday! Be sure to include a wonderful birthday card with your gift.
