How to Choose a Birthday Gift for September

Summer fun may be winding down, but not for friends and loved ones with September birthdays.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Book Bags
• Birthday Cards
• Palm Handheld Organizers
• Executive Desk Sets
• Morning Glories
• Picture Frames
• Cologne
• Perfume
• Birthstone Jewelry
• Diamond Earrings

1. Consider buying jewelry or collectibles with the September birthstone, said to bring emotional enlightenment to the birthday girl or boy. The modern and traditional September birthstones are sapphires; the mystical stone is the agate.

2. Consider astrological attributes when purchasing a gift. The September Virgo's birthday falls between September 1 and 23; the practical and analytical Virgo may appreciate gifts such as mystery novels or an executive desk set.

3. Consider a September Libra, born September 24 to 30. Play up Libra's charming and compassionate nature by buying him or her gifts such as a nice bottle of perfume or cologne, or a photograph frame with his or her favorite picture in it.

4. Choose something in the astrological birthstone as an alternative to the monthly birthstone: the Virgo stone is the sapphire; the Libra's is the lapis lazuli.

5. Send a bouquet of morning glories, the September birth flower, to the birthday boy or girl.

Tips & Warnings

• Men can be quite appreciative of flowers, so don't rule out such a gift right away!
• A September-born student might appreciate a trendy book bag or an electronic personal planner to start the school year off right.
• More birthstones for September include the lapis and the diamond.

on 2/19/2009 I always try to pick a unique and special gift for my friends and loved ones. I found this great site — http://my-song.ca/s/bdo1! You go on and make a personalized song — I did it for my best friend’s birthday. I had a great time putting the song together. It’s completely personalized, and so cute! It’s something I know she won’t forget for a long time.
