Make a good wish feel personal.

01

Start with their name.

Even a simple “Happy birthday, Alex” feels warmer than a message that could go to anyone.

02

Add one real detail.

Mention that long walk, their brilliant advice, or the joke you’re both still laughing about.

03

Give them a little hope.

Wish them something they actually care about: a new adventure, more rest, or a year of good company.

A thoughtful note. A birthday treat.

Make someone’s day a little sweeter.
