If you’re ever on Pinterest, I’m sure you’ve seen the photo of the balloons taped to a person’s door as a fun way to start off someone’s birthday. I mean, it’s everywhere. I think that idea is awesome but you can’t do it every year, so try out these fun birthday scavenger hunt ideas this year instead.
This birthday scavenger hunt is the perfect way to start someone’s day off right from the very moment they wake up. Instead of waiting until later at night to have cake and open presents, why not give them one or two right off the bat? I swear someone has proven in a study somewhere that your day goes better if it starts off well. If someone hasn’t proven it, I’d better start working on that because I swear it’s true.
I only created four clues because it’s just supposed to be a way to start off someone’s birthday happy, not their full gift. And I wrote the clues in an easy way to give them a couple of gifts along the way – their favorite breakfast or treat, a card (or something else) in the mailbox, and then finishing it off with an actual gift to open.
All you have to do is download the free printable scavenger hunt cards below, put one either under their door at night or if it’s someone who won’t wake up, right on their bedside table so they’ll see it as soon as they wake up. Make their favorite breakfast and leave the second card next to their breakfast plate. Continue leaving clues and small little gifts along the hunt with a larger more exciting gift at the end of the hunt.

This is so cute! My husband would probably love this! I almost tried doing the balloons on the door thing for Little J’s birthday, but I figured it would probably scare him to have a bunch of balloons fall on him when I opened his door in the morning!
Haha definitely understand that Chelsea, we did balloons in my son’s crib for him to play with. I’m going to try the balloon thing someday but thought this was a fun alternative for people who might not appreciate being scared with balloons. 🙂
I love the birthday scavenger hunt! How fun! Thank you very much for joining in the celebration of #purebloglove, we enjoy having you each week. I hope to see you on Thursday at 8PM, EST through Sunday night. ~Cydnee
Hi!
I can’t seem to be able to open the link to download the printables for the birthday boy. I’m doing this for my husband. Could you please email them to me? That would be wonderful.
Regards.
Just sent them over Simoni!
