Young Milestone Birthdays

Every few years we pass through a milestone birthday. Depending on our religion and the law these birthdays represent different, but significant things to each of us. A 13th birthday in the Jewish religion represents becoming an adult, for others it may represent transferring into the age of a teenager. Then there is the 16th birthday, a favorite amongst teenagers because it means driving; freedom to go off wherever and whenever (as long as you are in by curfew and clear it with your parents). The next milestone birthday is the 18th birthday when the law recognizes you as an adult. Eighteen means you are “independent,” able to go off and get a different job, join the military, or gamble and smoke if you wish to do so. The last milestone birthday I will mention today is the 21st, one I have mentioned before. This is the birthday where drinking is the theme.

In order to celebrate these milestone birthdays make sure you recognize them with the appropriate glory and excitement. Send the perfect balloon bouquet from BalloonsByMail.com. Choose from a super sweet 16 or a driving 16 birthday bouquet. Pick out the best 13th or 18th birthday balloon! Add extra numbers to the bouquet scream the age or just general happy birthday balloons to make the bouquet perfect for your loved one!

What is a Woozie?

There is nothing I love more than a nice chilled glass of wine with friends over dinner, outside at a barbecue, or after a long day at work. This time gives us the opportunity to relax, reflect on the day, and move forward into a tranquil evening. However, often times I find that my wine glass is too cold to hold in my hand or that my wine gets too warm too quickly. Can and bottle koozies seem to always be available to prevent this, however what about my glass of wine?

BalloonsByMail.com has the perfect new product to keep your wine chilled and your friends laughing and feeling loved. It is called a “Woozie.” That’s right, a Woozie – a koozie for your wine glass! This new product available on BalloonsByMail.com is a great gift to add to the bottom of anything from a 21st birthday balloon bouquet to a cheer up balloon bouquet. With great sayings like “Aged to Perfection,” "Girls just want to have wine!" and “Good Wine, Good Friends, Good Times” they are sure to make a great impression when send it to your friends and family! Keep in mind the Woozies aren’t limited to just sayings: be sassy with fun animal print or cute with a colorful pattern. Your friends are sure to love their gift when you send it from BalloonsByMail.com.

Cheers!

One of the more social activities is drinking. Often times we go out to the bar for cocktails after a long week with our co-workers, share a bottle of wine on a date, or relax at home with a beer and our families/ friends. Many of us adults over the age of 21 have a favorite drink whether it is a shaken cosmopolitan, cold Bush Light, glass of pinot grigio or a simple Hard Lemonade. When we learn what our friends and love ones enjoy the most, we tend to be reminded of them whenever we see something resembling that drink. I know when I see mint leaves or limes I think of my friends who love mojitos on the lake in the summer time, or when I see a short martini glass I think of my days in college drinking martinis with my best friends on girls night.

Why not remind your friends and family of the great times you have all had and the good times to come with some of BalloonsByMail.com drinking memorabilia? Use these great gift ideas to prepare for the up coming shared drinks at milestone birthdays or any other occasion to celebrate.

The Famous 21st Birthday

Birthdays often come in themes, there are those first birthday parties we celebrate with our favorite cartoon character or dream career (i.e. Cowboy). Then there is the sweet 16 birthday centered on driving, or the over the hill birthday with jokes about being old and seeing black. But the one birthday that is widely celebrated with friends, family, and even strangers is the 21st birthday.

Because the legal drinking age is 21 here in the United States, that is the birthday that is themed as the “Drinking Birthday.” You often here stories about sharing a beer with your parents for the first time, drinking shots at the bar, throwing ambition to the wind to sing karaoke, and all those things that come after a long night of drinking. In order to go along with the theme of drinking for a 21st birthday gift go to BalloonsByMail.com.

BalloonsByMail.com has a great selection of gifts about drinking and birthday balloons to match. My favorite is the Koozie with a necktie around it so it can’t be lost. It comes in two sayings, “Where’s my beer?” and “21-Legally Bombed.” These pair well with the beer shaped balloon bouquet! However, no 21st birthday would be complete without a commemorative shot glass or feathered martini glass. Again they pair nicely with the other 21st balloons and bouquets on BalloonsByMail.com.
