Q&A for How to Make Up for Forgetting Someone's Birthday

Try Etsy, Ebay, dollar stores, or thrift shops. You can also make a card or bake something special.

First of all, set a reminder in your phone's calendar app. If you still miss your birthday, get a little treat like an ice cream as soon as you remind yourself.

Make them a lovely card stating when it will arrive, and maybe bake something like cookies to go with the card. You could even buy them a box of popcorn wrapped up and say it is a hint.

Use an app called Grammarly to check your spelling, or the spell check function on Microsoft Word. You can also ask someone to check whatever you're writing for mistakes.

If you're a kid, don't worry too much. Parents don't usually expect their kids to remember stuff like birthdays. Just think of something special you can do for him now, even if it's just making him a card that says how much you love him. Tell him "happy birthday" and that you're sorry you forgot.

Apologise to them and explain why you forgot. Also, you can give them a card (handmade is best because it shows you took the time to care) and add a gift card or money inside it. Or, give the card with a gift. Offer to spend time with them to make up for forgetting.
