Frequently Asked Questions

Download Article

1

Is 24 a significant birthday? Turning 24 isn’t considered a significant birthday, like 18 , 21 , or 30 . However, it’s still a memorable occasion that can feel special. 24 is the age at which many people start figuring out their life and career goals, or at least have a better idea of what they want to achieve. 24 also marks the end of your early 20s, which means you’re deeper into adulthood (and probably dealing with more bills, rent, and responsibilities).
2
What can I write on a 24th birthday cake? If you’re in charge of ordering (or making) the cake, pick a short message that matches the personality of the birthday boy/girl. Here are some sweet and witty ideas that can be frosted easily:
- Adult-ish.
- Hello, 24!
- 24 wishes.
- Help! I’m 24!
- Make a wish!
- 24 Years of Chaos.
- Level 24 Unlocked.
- Cheers to 24 years!
- Adulting on the way…
- Twenty-four & fabulous!
- Main Character Turns 24!
- The one where she turns 24.
3
What are some good 24th birthday gift ideas? The best birthday gift is one that aligns with the birthday boy or girl’s hobbies, interests, and lifestyle. If they’re an avid baker, for example, you could get them a customized apron or electric mixer . If they’re a gym rat, a massage gun or fitness gift card is a great choice. Think about previous conversations where they might have mentioned things they want, and go from there. Here are some general gift ideas for anyone:
- A Polaroid camera
- Personalized jewelry
- A gourmet food gift basket
- A book by their favorite author
- Concert or sports game tickets
- A weekend getaway or surprise vacation
- A personalized photo book or framed photo
