10 Fascinating Birthday Facts

1: THE BIRTHDAY

The birthday is the most widely celebrated anniversary in the world. The celebration of birthdays was spread by Roman soldiers stationed throughout their Empire.

2: THE BIRTHDAY CAKE

The Ancient Greeks first conceived the birthday cake. Apparently, rather than going down the pub for a few pints, they took a moon-shaped cake to the temple of Artemis, Goddess of the Moon, once per year.

3: THE BIRTHDAY CAKE CANDLES

Those crazy Greeks also invented birthday cake candles by sticking candles into the cakes to light their way to the temple and celebrate and imitate the light of the moon.

4: THE BIRTHDAY TREATS

In the Middle Ages, (before Christmas was invented) Germans used to give each other little sweet dough treats in the shape of Jesus, each year, to celebrate his birth. And so began the tradition of giving edible treats on the celebration of someone's birthday.

5: THE BIRTHDAY CARD

There is absolutely no concrete evidence about who sent the first birthday cards, but we know that the clever Chinese were sending greetings cards to each other long before anyone else. We do know that royalty in England sent each other little decorate cards to celebrate special occasions hundreds of years ago.

6: THE BIRTHDAY GIFT

Obviously, if you're a Christian, or even if you're not, you'll be aware that Three Wise Men visited the Baby Jesus when he was born. They brought with them gifts and so the tradition of birthday gifts began.

7: THE BIRTHDAY PRESENT

Birthday presents were given to people on their birthday to bring them happiness (known as good cheer in the olden days) and to fight off evil spirits. The only evil spirit most people need to fight off these days on their birthday is vodka!

8: THE BIRTHDAY PARTY

Of course, the Greeks gathering to give Artemis her moon-cake (not much of a birthday present) was the first birthday 'gathering'. But Birthday Parties began on record in Germany, with the celebration of KinderFest, parties to celebrate a child's life. In times when the life expectancy wasn't high, celebrating your birthday was a joyous occasion and not just one year older. Of course, attending a birthday party meant bringing the lucky boy or girl a birthday gift.

9: BIRTHDAYS

The Queen of England has TWO birthdays, a real birthday and an official birthday. That must mean she gets loads of birthday presents.

10: THE BIRTHDAY SONG

The tune for the Birthday Song was written by Mildred Hills in 1890, her sister later wrote the words we have come to know for it and it was first published in 1935. We can't write the words to the song here, amazingly, the song is still under copyright protection, which means technically, you should pay a fee each time you sing it!

How in the world does one come up with a different idea for a birthday gift. For Birthdays or a Wedding Anniversary, the answer could be the certificates that celebrate the events of that particular day. Gifts for Christmas are a different matter, even more difficult. But we have the answers. Hand puppets, balance toys, bar globes, novelty clocks, wooden toys, musical boxes, cuckoo clocks are amongst the most popular. Looking for collectables, then we have Camberwick Green, Trumpton, The Herbs and Magic Roundabout figurines. Cuckoo clocks could be a house warming present. The Freddie Mercury statue, Doctor Who memorabilia, a balance toy, as an idea for birthdays.

How about a Cuckoo Clock or Globe, as a delightful Housewarming Gift, a World Globe is always welcome. What a range of gifts we have, from Novelty Clocks to Freddie Mercury Statues. Housewarming Gifts seem to be very popular and Cuckoo Clocks and World Globes are ideal. Musical Boxes from the Camberwick Green collection make great collectables and a Globe Bar is a great House Warming Gift Idea. Looking for a Birthday gift for someone over 40, then how about a good old Windy Miller figure.

World Globes are extremely popular, and at the other extreme, the Trumpton figures from more relaxed childhoods are also much sought after. House Warming Gifts are always difficult to dream up, but a Globe Bar is always welcome. Musical Boxes of all types abound, but for something different, a Camberwick Green musical box breaks the mould. House Warming Gift Ideas are always difficult to come by, almost as difficult as thinking up a gift for a Dad Birthday. Windy Miller of Kellogs fame as well as Camberwick Green, would have loved to have owned a Cuckoo Clock but no-one ever thought of giving him a Housewarming Gift when he moved into the mill. Although a World Globe would be an appropriate housewarming gift, Novelty Clocks and Freddie Mercury Statues could hardly be classed as Housewarming Gifts, Cuckoo Clocks might though.

If you are looking for Birthday presents or Christmas gifts, then do try the Prezzy Shop. Birthday certificates are a novel and different way of celebrating someone's birthday. In the same way, instead of traumatising over Wedding Presents, give Wedding certificates that in future years will be a reminder of what happened on their wedding day. For Anniversary presents, we would suggest World globes or Bar globes or even Musical boxes. Cuckoo clocks make great House warming presents. For children, we have Balance toys, Hand puppets and Wooden toys. For pure nostagia, we have a comprehensive range of the Camberwick Green figures and a wonderful statue of Freddie Mercury for those fans that still enjoy his music.
