Actually someone else may have been born on the same day, but never will there be another individual for whom you are wishing the Perfect Birthday Celebration. Wish Happy Birthday with the person's uniqueness in mind!!!
Flowers are very traditional birthday gifts.
There are specific birth flowers for each month.
To make the arrangement unique and special, start with fresh flowers for the specifc birth month and add colored glass beads to the vase in the birth stone color. This will make the arrangement uniquely personal and thoughtful.
For example, the birth flower for March is the daffodil and the birth stone is the aquamarine. Prepare a tall clear glass vase with ice blue or aquamarine glass beads and fill with water. Then arrange fresh cut daffodils in the vase. Tie a ribbon combo that is yellow and blue around the vase for more color and cheer.
Birthstones are very traditional birthday gifts. There are specific birthstones for each month.
To make the party unique and special, use glitter for tables the color of his or birthstone. Use colored glass beads around a column candle in the same color as the centerpiece for the honoree to take home with him or her. From an arts and crafts store buy extra large gem crystals in plastic to glue to birthday presents and other decorations. These will make the presents and the event uniquely personal.
Some birth flowers and birthstones are birth names. For example, girls are named for April, May, and June. Boys may be named for August. Girls also are named for birth stones, such as, Ruby, Opal and Pearl. The history of birth stones reveals the desire of people to offer blessings and good luck through nature’s unusual stones.
Speaking of birth names… the birthday date may also be associated with the birth name. There are names associated with saint's days for boys and saint's days for girls.
The US Social Security Administration offers a list of the most popular birth names.
If possible locate name gifts of mugs, keychains, bracelets as favors for all guests. Buy ceramic paint from an arts and crafts store for the guests to write a unique message on the mug set as a gift to the honoree.
The stars of the constellations of the Zodiac may be incorporated into birthday celebrations for birthday party themes and birthday gifts, as well as flowers and birthstones. Perfect Birthday Celebrations offers free, printable Zodiac birthday cards.
For the birthday party, if possible find small zodiac figurines to add to the table centerpiece for the honoree to take home.

"Happy Birthday Taurus!!! Taurus is the second sign of the Zodiac. It is associated with loyalty and strength. Individuals born under this sign are thought to have a calm, patient, reliable, affectionate, sensuous, ambitious, and determined character."
