if its your birthday then try to go out even if just alone, watch movie, dine out nor buy something expensive as your gift to yourself. coz i used to do that before when i celebrated my bday alone. i bought a lot of clothes and shoes and when i got home i was so excited to wear them in front of a mirror. then of course i will also going to online so i can talk to my friends then go to sleep to relax coz the next day is another day.

I've been lucky that I have never had to have my birthday alone, I've always had people around me when it comes time to celebrate my birthday. That said, I can think of a list of three things that I would do if I had to spend my birthday by myself. I would definitely start the day with a hot bath and a great book. This is one of the most relaxing things for me. Then I would spend some time browsing at one of my favorite stores. Finally, I would prepare one of my favorite meals to eat for dinner.

Three tips to enjoy birthday alone? I suggest to be sure it's fun even when alone, and of course it should be something you enjoy, and if you want to be alone, be sure no one can distract you. I would prefer going for a movie or shopping by myself. My last birthday, I bought gifts for myself.

When you are alone on your birthday the 3 tips that i would give are as follows: 1) Please call your friends & family and talk to them for a long time. That would definitely make you feel that you are not alone. 2) Keep yourself busy & occupied with something. That will distract you from thinking too much about your birthday. 3) The last tip would be to buy yourself that gift which you always wanted.

there are three things that give me wonderful time when i'm alone, even on my birthdays -- when i was on assignment is some faraway place. one is a good book, another is eerie silence, no disturbance of any kind. something to eat is third. in case, eerie silence is not possible, soft classical music can do.

hmm.celebrating your birthday with no friends and no families are boring. its my opinion.but if there are circumstances that you need to celebrate you birthday without them.you should try going to disco or comedy bars. you can also visit orphaned childrens

The last time I had to spend my birthday alone I made a real big thing of it all. I treated myself to a facial and manicure, bought myself a new dress, and then relaxed at home with a really good movie and a takeaway meal

hi wildlittlefan I would eat breakfast and lunch out, and'order myu favorite foods like shrimp scampi and t bone steak, and for breakfast'ti would be hash browns,eggsover easy and rye toast and lots of hot black coffee.lol that would be like heaven to me. I would then go and see my favorite movie, and eat' a big bucket of popcorn all by myself. Also go shopping for a new skirt in my favorite color. my three tips are to do 'what you really want to do, to stay as long as you want, or' go home whenyou want,to have nobody dictating what you can or cannot do. would be so heaVENLY. FOR SURE

hello! I've been that before, I celebrated my birthday alone. Birthday celebration is just an ordinary for me. Walking in the mall, attending church service, and even you are working and walking alone on your birthday is already enough celebration that you have. For as long that you're in good health it's already a big happiness. The important to celebrate a birthday is that as long that you happy,and in good health.

Hi Wild, I will think of my favorite food to prepare for myself to enjoy. Second, choose the best dress that i will wear for my self-dinner and buy two dozens of yellow tulips as a birthday gift for myself. then i will play on my favorite mellow music set up the table dress up and celebrate my unique birthday alone.

Enjoying your birthday alone huh? well thats a pretty tough question.But just because your alone doesnt mean you cant enjoy your special day, first be grateful that your still alive ,thats a gift from God that we should be thankful for all the time, second thank him as well for the blessings that you recieved this year and for all the years that came too. Third think of all the people whom you got to know with. Your family and your friends, even though they are not with you right now, the experience the happiness that they gave you sometime ago will never be gone its always with you and when you finally realize how fortunate you are to have these things with you stand up and face the day and say Happy Birthday to me!

Thank God for sustaining your live to celebrate your B'day and invite him to speak to You. Think of helping people rather than getting gifts or anything. Think of all the blessings you have received, and count them one by one.

I usually spend my birthdays alone. I am not a party person and when I usually throw a party, it ends up as a disaster because I have to cook and clean up afterwards all by myself. So I usually slither away to go to my favorite province, eat something nice and sleep the day away. Its a kind of treat for myself and I only get to do it just once a year.

I would choose to go for a decent meal in a quiet cosy restaurant and dine on my own. Then I would try to contact my friends or relatives via the internet or by making a phone call so that I can hear their voice. I would make sure to try and keep in touch with them on this special day.

I'd buy a gift for myself, preferably something I've been wanting so much for a long, long time. Like a 24-piece set of original Bobbi Brown make up brushes. I don't particularly like going out much anyway and would rather stay at home in order to save up money. I have DotA, The Sims 3, and myLot. What more do I need? I'll just put my extra allowance into my piggy bank and let everything accumulate so I can transfer it to my bank account and hopefully be able to establish a small business someday (and study about business too).

Hi, Wildlittlefan. I used to have noisy birthday celebration with my friends/family when I was in college and early started my job. With the passage of time and my busy work, I am in preference to quiet moment for myself. I would like to go for a walk in near park to relax my heart and body, and go shopping for myself some presents. Then, I'd like to enjoy a nice supper to satisfy my own stomach. And then, I'd like to choose a funny movie to ease my nerve and pressure. What a gentle day!
