A Lot of Family Birthdays in July

It can be expenzive giving gifts to everyone involve. I suggest you throw a party or a bar b que in thei honor and let other framilyt members contribute a dish for he occassion

Hey there, I have 4 family members who share there birthdays in this same month "July" ,my sister, our dad, an aunty and a cousin... We usually go out for dinner, each one and there guess pay there own, but there has been two times where we all chipped together and put one big dinner party on... This cuts costs and its neat to be with family for special occassions... "June" is also another popular month in my family, all our kids birthdays which are, 1st cousins kids, my sister and our brother, As parents we take them out to a fun park and we all go to our grandmas home for a bigger dinner that these kids grand parents usually have prepared, this has happened two times as well... We use to take them all to Mc Donalds, now we've decided to take this "June" event to there grandmas...

We have a lot of family birthday's the end of June through July also. For the younger kids, there's no reason why a gift bag filled with $5 worth of items from the dollar store can't be appreciated. You can get some great stuff there, jump ropes, bubbles, jacks (the game) and more. For older people, even a $5 McDonald's gift certificate or other fast food restaurant can buy them a lunch. Stick it in a card and put "treat yourself to lunch on me". It's not a ton of money but shows you've thought of them.

I always find the nicest gifts to be those of time rather than material things.. I try to make homemade "gift certificates" for those who live close to me...I will make up a cute card that "entitles" them to a service that I choose to fit their particular need. For instance, I just gave my sister-in-law a gift of my time in the form of her choice of days to come to my house ( or I to her's) for a wonderful lunch prepared by me!! If going to her house, I will pack up a beautiful tablecloth and everything I need to make her lunch presentation beautiful!!! She loved it!! I have done this with my grandchildren by letting them choose a special overnight at our house...I offer them "themes" for the night which includes their favorite dinners and treats and movie of their choices, favorite stories..etc...anyway it is usually a hit with everyone...it is a gift of time and not money...and whether it is cleaning someone's house, providing them a meal, spending an afternoon or evening doing what they want...it's fun for everyone...You may think it's corny...but my kids, grandkids, friends all love it!!!

I would suggest coming up with a simple home made gift for them. It shouldn't cost much but will still show them that you were thinking of them on their birthday. Once this round of birthdays is taken care of you can start planning for next July by putting a little bit of money away each week/month/paycheck, whatever works for you, so that you have a nice amount saved up for next year's gifts. July is a popular month for me also. In July I have my birthday, my oldest son's, my sister's, two brother-in-law's, one late brother-in-law, and a niece. My youngest daughter is close...August 1st and her father, my ex-hubby and still very good friend is August 4th. My s/o's son is June 26th and my late grandmother's is June 28th. I don't even know how many cousins have birthdays around this time since counting first cousins only on both sides of the family there are 47 of them total.

Why not write a nice note to each of them wishing them a happy birthday and telling each of them why they are special to you. Some pretty stationery or a card would be a nice addition to this. Sometimes what comes from within is more special that a store boughten gift.
