You know the struggle. A birthday is coming up, and you want to get something special—something your child will actually love and remember.
So you open Amazon. You scroll. And scroll. And scroll.
It’s the same stuff over and over—toys that will be forgotten in a week, clothes they’ll outgrow in months, and generic gifts that don’t feel personal at all.
If you’re looking for something different (and way more exciting), here are 7 unique birthday gift ideas that you won’t find on Amazon—but totally should!
This isn’t just a gift—it’s a core memory in the making. Imagine your child’s face when they hear their own name in a song—a track made just for them, featuring their favourite things and a beat they can’t help but dance to!
With seven different music genres (pop, hip-hop, rock—you name it!), this is a fun, interactive, and unforgettable birthday surprise. Delivered digitally, no shipping required!

Whether your child is obsessed with superheroes, princesses, or YouTube stars, a personalised video message from their favourite character will blow their mind.
Services like Cameo Kids or independent performers offer custom birthday shoutouts that make your child feel like a total VIP. It’s like FaceTiming their hero—without the awkward small talk.
Books are great. But books that put your child right in the story? Even better!
Companies like Wonderbly and Put Me In The Story create beautifully illustrated, personalised books where your child’s name, hobbies, and even family members are woven into the adventure.
It’s the perfect bedtime story that makes them feel like the star of their own fairytale.
Imagine gifting your child something they won’t open until they’re a teenager (or even an adult). It’s a gift that grows with them, filled with letters, drawings, and little treasures from their childhood.
Some ideas to include:
A handwritten letter from you (cue the tears in 10 years)
A drawing they made at age 5
A tiny toy they love right now
A list of their current favourite things (so they can laugh at their childhood obsessions later!)
Seal it in a cool box and set an “open date.” Future them will love it!
Forget physical gifts—give them a day of YES!
A Yes Day means your child gets to call the shots for a full day (within reason, of course!). Want ice cream for breakfast? Yes. Pajamas all day? Yes. A spontaneous trip to the zoo? You got it.
It’s a fun way to create core memories that last way longer than any toy.
This one’s for the sentimental mums. Every year, ask your child the same set of questions and record their answers in a special journal.
A few fun questions to include:
What’s your favourite thing in the whole world?
What do you want to be when you grow up?
What’s the funniest thing that happened this year?
Over the years, it becomes an amazing keepsake—and a hilarious way to see how their answers change.
Turn gift-giving into a fun, interactive adventure! Instead of handing over presents, create a birthday treasure hunt with clues that lead your child to hidden surprises around the house (or even the park!).
Each clue can have a fun challenge, like:
Solve a riddle to find the next gift!
Sing your favourite song before you get the next clue!
Run to your favourite hiding spot—there’s a surprise waiting!
It makes opening presents way more exciting and turns the whole day into a fun experience.
Forget the same old gifts that every other kid is getting this year. The best birthday presents are the ones that make your child feel loved, special, and celebrated.
And if you want a truly unique, joy-filled, dance-party-worthy gift, a personalised birthday song is the perfect choice!
