Experience Gift

Instead of purchasing a tangible item, consider gifting an experience, like organising a family gathering, hosting a special birthday celebration, or taking them to their favourite restaurant or a place of significance.

100th Birthday Guest Book

If you do have a get together a guest book is a great idea for a keepsake gift. This one is from Waterstones, which you can see here.

Photo collage

You could put together a collage of some of their old photos, and photos of the family and frame it. This one here is made digitally, you just upload the photos, and you can transfer your design on to other items such as cushions and mugs.

100th birthday badge

Everyone should have a badge for their birthday! I actually make badges, so you can find many of my designs on Etsy (see link at top of page). This ‘made in 1925’ badge is available from Zazzle.

100th Birthday Newspaper

These are made by a seller on Etsy, and as you can see are personalised. They make a great gift for a 100th birthday.

A cosy outfit

Whatever your age a new cosy outfit is always nice. Why not take the opportunity of their birthday to get them a fun personalised one. Take a look at this sweatshirt here, or you could design your own on the same site.

100th birthday card

Of course a birthday card is a must for a 100th birthday. Make sure it is a physical one, not just an ecard, yes it makes a difference to 100 year old.
