Personalized Decor

Food

Give the gift of food by experimenting with funky birthday cake designs tailored to the recipient's personality and interests. An outdoor enthusiast might appreciate a cake shaped like a giant hiking boot, while a fan of board games would be amused by an elaborate checkerboard cake. Another option is to create a gift basket filled with the birthday boy's favorite junk food. He will be tickled to receive a basket filled with his favorite chips, candies, cookies and cheese puffs.
Oversized Drink Containers
-
An unusual drinking mug or glass is a funny birthday gift. Transform an over-sized container like a fishbowl or vase into a drinking vessel and personalize it for the birthday boy. Plain glass fishbowls, vases and pitchers can all be obtained cheaply at a dollar store or large-scale supermarket. You can paint your designs directly on the glass with specialized paints available at crafts stores. Another option is to apply stickers or adhesive letters to the glass, but these additions will most likely make the gift unfit for the dishwasher.
