How to Choose a Birthday Gift for March

Whether the day is fine or rainy, there are plenty of creative ways to help someone special celebrate a March birthday.

Things You'll Need

• Birthday Cards
• Plants
• Violets
• Picnic Lunches
• Birthstone Jewelry
• Bloodstone Jewelry

Instructions

1. Consider selecting jewelry with the March birthstone; choose between the traditional bloodstone, modern aquamarine or more mystical jade.

2. Send a bouquet of flowers if you're far away, and remember that the flower for March is the violet.

3. Consider astrological signs. A March Pisces, born March 1 to 20, is said to have an emotional nature, while a March Aries, born March 21 to 31, characteristically seeks out adventure. You may want to choose gifts according to the receiver's sign.

4. Take the birthday boy or girl out for St. Patrick's Day if the event falls around March 17, and celebrate both holidays.

5. Consider a gift that also celebrates the first day of spring, which falls around March 20. How about a picnic on a sunny day, a trip to botanical gardens or a colorful potted plant?

Tips & Warnings

• Try to give a gift that reflects time and thought, not just a high price.
