Best Belated Birthday Gifts ideas

Big doesn't always mean expensive, however; here are some cute cheap DIY belated birthday gift ideas for your boyfriend, or for your mum/mom!
1. A hamper themed around their favourite things
A hamper is an amazing easy DIY gift idea you can make, and it doesn't have to cost much either! Make use of luxurious trimmings, such as eco friendly tissue papers and little adorable additions for them to discover and base it around something they love, whether that is their favourite colour, favourite pet or animal, or favourite series or franchise.
2. Baked goods
Baked goods is such a great belated birthday gift as it shows lots of care and effort
3. A gift for their pets
A gift from or for their pets will always touch the heart! You could even gift them a personalised keyring with their pet's paw print on
4. Recreate something special from their childhood
This belated gift idea will show them how well you know them and that you are in tune with them. You could recreate a special memory for them, or recreate a special object that they used to adore.
5. Add in a fancy looking extra

How do I give a belated birthday gift?
Often delivery can have a huge impact on how the gift is received. To make your recipient forget all about their gift being late, why not try
1. Arrange for it to be gifted to them at a restaurant
2. Wrap it in multiple layers
To fool them as to what the gift might be! A really cool example of this is to package the actual gift carefully in to a cereal box, then glue it shut. Your recipient will get the best surprise, once they realise you haven't just gifted them cereal!
3. For nerds, why not cover your gift in fake slime
Or such material (carefully, so that it doesn't come in to contact with the gift inside). This will make your 'I fell in to the time void' excuse all the more convincing. You could get super creative with this and make them fangirl over their gift!
4. Make the packaging look super luxe
For fancy packaging, why not order free samples of fancy wallpapers and use them to wrap your gift
5. Gift them a small gift parcel for their pet alongside their gift
This is such a cute idea, your loved one will be sure to adore a mini matching gift for their pet!
