Tired of lacklustre presents from family and friends? Hook up with a fellow redditor who shares your birth month and exchange gifts with them!

Birthday Exchange is designed to hook up redditors born in the same month! Simply request a birthday buddy, get chatting and when your big day comes around send your gift! Don't forget this is an exchange! You choose who you want to exchange with! If you don't like someone's profile, just say no!

The recommended amount to spend is US$20 unless a different amount is agreed on by both parties. You are encouraged to chat privately before sending out any gifts! Be wary of people approaching you via PM and make sure you check out userpages before making a trade!

International shipping can be very expensive, please be aware of this before you agree to trade with a user in another country or use online shopping.

Rules:

  • Non-verified users must have 600 comment karma or 3 months reddit history to post or exchange.

  • If you have successful trades in other subreddits, email the mods and we may award your spanking pink present flair straightaway to let people know you're an all-round good egg!

  • Once you have a verified exchange on /r/birthdayexchange, you get an extra-special flair, a birthday Snoo!

  • Once you have hooked up with a buddy, change your post flair to "Buddy Found". You can always change this if you decide not to exchange with that particular user.

All posts must contain one of the following tags:

[Request] Make sure you add your birth month and location and where you'd be prepared to ship to eg:

[Request] January New Zealand to WW or [Request] January US to US

[Thanks] Thank people for a sucessful exchange and get them their flair! And we all love lots of photos!

[Random] For any other posts you'd like to make

[Meta] For official post type thingies!

[Request] March Birthday

Hello! My birthday is March 15th and I was hoping I could exchange presents with someone on here for the first time next year for my 23rd birthday. I live in the US and am willing to consider birthdayexchange buddies from anywhere in the world, although I'd be especially interested in an exchange with someone in Italy since my birthday is on the both the Ides of March and the day Julius Caesar was killed, and I'm an ancient Latin nerd. But otherwise, I'm just happy to find a buddy to exchange gifts with! Let me know if you'd like to and we can discuss details!

[REQUEST] September (23) EU to EU

Hey, guys, I'm new in this sub and very excited to try it out! I rarely celebrate my birthday, but this year I thought it would be lovely to treat ma' self. I am probably starting this way too early, but, as a rather indecisive Libra, I need lots of time to figure out the best gift.

I love making/preparing and giving gifts, sometimes even more than receiving them. I like to personalize them a bit, too.

I will be turning 28 this autumn. I love hiking and camping with my dog, reading and watching Sci-Fi, picking herbs, drawing, crocheting, playing board games, listening to indie music, and, in general - all things practical and crafty tbh.

I hope to find someone with similar interests or at least such in areas I'm good at in order to make choosing easier. So, let's have fun and see what happens!

[Request] June Birthday Buddies (Australia, or internationally)

Hey :) I’d like to exchange present with any reddit user who wants to celebrate their birthday in June. That’s when all the best people are born :P I jest. I’m happy to post internationally but I’d have to keep it below one kilogram because it gets expensive fast. If you want to trade present let me know by replying or giving me a PM.

[REQUEST] February 15th Birthday UK to UK or UK to US

I hope I’ve done this right, please correct me if I’m wrong! First time poster to Birthday Exchange but have been a Secret Santa for a good couple of years. Stumbled across this page and thought I’d give it a go, since I enjoy SS so much already!

I know February is fast approaching but if there’s anyone out there who would like to exchange, give me a shout ☺️!

[Request] March(17th). Denmark to WW

I don't usually make a big deal out of my birthday, but this year I thought it would be nice to do something selfish.

I love making and sending gifts, so what could be more fun, then a birthday exchange, as a birthday present for myself? And for someone else!

I turn 33.

I love knitting and sewing and, everything crafty actually. So you will probably get something handmade, most of my gifts are.

But this also means that I need time to figure out the right gift, and making it. So please reply sooner, rather then later, if you think this might be fun.

If expensive shipping is what is keeping you from replying, we can agree to send something that fits in a largish envelope/weighs within your postage budget.
A small gift can be just as nice as a big one, in my opinion.

[Request] Any fellow Decemberists out there?

My birthday is mid December and I'd like to find another fellow Redditor who shares my winter month. I figured asking a little far out from the date gives us some time to get to know one another to make the gift/s special. :D

[Thanks] Thank you, /u/beefreak! My birthday present arrived today, & it's beautiful. <3

The postman brought me a present today, thank you so much! I love it - it'll come in handy, as I'm forever forgetting to put on perfume before I leave the house to go to something. I always remember the accessories though, so this is perfect. Thank you. X

For everyone else, I got a gorgeous aromatherapy necklace, with a silver pendant that holds a felt circle, with several different colour options included, which you put perfume or essential oil on instead of applying it to your skin directly. /u/beefreak is such a wonderful, generous soul, & offered to be my birthday buddy, without expecting anything in return, due to my financial limitations & us being in different countries. A fine example of altruism personified, what a wonderful person. :)

[Request]

While I know I don't have a strong Reddit history and not sure what my Reddit Karma is, I turned 19 today. I work a telemarketing job where I make 8.50 an hour. But I just started this job a month ago, and money's tight for now. If there's anybody out there who'd be willing to trust me (I know. This is the internet.) My one request is a copy of Watch_Dogs 2, I've been a fan since the first game and really want to play it. If you don't or can't help, I understand. Hell, if my post is removed I'd understand. I just figured I'd give it a shot.

[REQUEST] June (15th), AU to AU, ideally - postage is a killer!

Hoping to find a birthday exchange buddy in Australia for my month, June (my birthday is the 15th). I wish I could commit to accepting worldwide buddies, alas money is tight, & postage is highway robbery. . .

[Thanks] /u/kitty_vayne for the wonderful gift package!

My first exchange here and I was sooooo excited!! We agreed to up the exchange to $40 and I was abit unsure of what I want honestly. I'm really glad, however, that she has managed to pick up what I liked to do (which is to read) and favourite drink (coffee).

I haven't read the 2 books nor tried the coffee yet, but I will do it soon! Honestly, the coffee looked really tempting but I will wait until the week after when I really need the extra kick :)

I've received 2 books which I'm quite excited to start reading once I finished the current one I'm on, a gorgeous Mother-of-Pearl bookmark, bunny paperclips and the Death Wish Coffee (strongest coffee on Earth!).

Dear u/kitty_vayne, I'm really really thankful to have you as my exchange buddy :) Your gifts is definitely one of the best I've received for my birthday! I can't wait to try the coffee and start reading the books and I've already replaced my receipt and start using your bookmark!

Thank you soooo much for the gifts! I hope that you would like my parcel as much as I've like yours. :D

[Random]This is neat. Wish I would of found it sooner

So I just wanted to say what an awesome idea for a reddit this is. It's rough not getting a birthday gift so this is a fun way to give a smile and get one in return. Kudos to everyone on here.
