  1. Consider the child’s personality and interests when picking out a gift. No two 7-year-olds are exactly alike, so it’s important to keep their interests in mind when deciding on a birthday gift. If you’re not sure what to get them, ask them what they like to do, or ask their parents if you want to keep the gift a secret. If you’re not sure where to start, here are some ideas:

How to Personalize a Birthday Message

PDF download Download Article
  1. 1
    Address the child by their name. It may not matter much to the birthday kid in the moment, but addressing their birthday card to them is a great way to personalize it and show them you care. Address them by their first name or their preferred nickname, if they have one. Try to be as specific as possible when writing your message, and avoid cliches or generic wishes.
  2. 2
    Consider their interests. Try to tailor your birthday card to the birthday kid’s interests. If you’re not sure what they like, ask their parents. For example, if they really like racecars, try to find a card with a racecar on it, or mention racing in your message. This will get the kid excited and show them that you pay attention to them.
  3. 3
    Keep things short and sweet. While you may want to write a long paragraph about how much you love the birthday kid, let’s be honest. They’re only seven years old. Odds are, they care more about cake and presents than reading cards. Write as much as you want to in your card, but it’s probably better to keep things short and sweet. You can always tell the birthday kid how much they mean to you in person… or by getting them a present they really want.
