31 Gifts You Can Send To Friends Celebrating Birthdays On Lockdown

We hope you love the products we recommend! Just so you know, BuzzFeed may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page. Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.

1. '90s-themed candle with a personalized birthday gift box from Otherland, so they can channel an era of childhood birthday parties that, quite frankly, will never be beat.

The '90s-themed candle collection includes DreamlightBlue Jean Baby, and Glosspop, reminiscent of era-specific scents like freesias, worn-out jeans, and lip gloss. Tamagotchi and Lion King-themed pinata not included.
Get it from Otherland for $36 (available in three scents).

2. A dozen Magnolia Bakery cupcakes with frosting so buttery and decadent they'll be gone within the hour, whether your friend is socially-distancing with family or all on their own.

Goldbelly
Each birthday dozen comes with six vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with vanilla icing, complete with assorted birthday decorations and sprinkles 🧁.
Get a dozen from Goldbelly for $65.
(I feel it is my duty as a dessert consumer to inform you that you can also buy a giant vat of Magnolia Bakery's famous banana pudding for $54, if that's more your friend's speed.)

3. A fast-growing birth month flower grow kit that will thrive indoors just like the rest of us finally getting through our Netflix queues — plus, once it gets big enough to plant outside, your friend can use the glass grower as a beautiful vase.

UncommonGoods
Promising review: "Daughter-in-law is a tad difficult to buy for--she's very undemanding and pleased with anything. I wanted to get her something that showed I was thinking about her specifically, and this flower grow kit was perfect for that. It was personal in that it was tailored to her birth month, and also worked well because her home is filled with plants. When I saw her recently, she was pleased that the flowers had already started to sprout, and I could tell she really enjoyed the gift." —Virginia
Get it from UncommonGoods for $34.

4. birthday cake in a mug complete with its own candle, so your friend can light it and boomie it for the perfect #StayHome birthday 'gram, and have the ideal mug for all future microwaveable cake needs.

UncommonGoods
Promising review: "THANK YOU UncommonGoods for getting these items out so quickly to my local friends isolated at home due to self-quarantine on their birthdays this month! My friends loved them & the Birthday Cake Mugs really cheered them up. Now I am ordering them for my friends across the country who I can never be with to celebrate on their birthdays. What a great gift!" —UncommonGoods Customer
Get it from UncommonGoods for $20.

5. personalized Disney cup because birthdays are great, but glitter-filled hydrated birthdays are better. (Although I personally would not judge any birthday-haver for using this for bathtub wine.)

Lillybelle On Main/Etsy
Promising review: "Such good quality. Better than expected and she put the most adorable little Micky mouse confetti and matching tissue paper. Presentation with packaging was unexpected and so cute. I love it so much. Bought for a friend and I already know she's gonna love it." —Shelby
Get it from Lillybelle On Main from Etsy for $19+ (available in Mickey and Minnie and two different font styles).

6. Friends photo frame mug that lets you put a pic of the two of you in it — a way of saying 🎶I'll be there for you 🎵even when you gotta say it from afar.
