If you hadn\u2019t already realised by the sheer number of cards and gifts you end up having to buy around this time, there\u2019s a whole load of birthdays between September and early October. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, of the 10 most popular birth dates, 8 are in September with the other 2 landing in early October.* Who knew Christmas was so sexy? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve actually done our own research into Christmas sex<\/a> in the past and discovered that an average of 15,000 children are conceived due to the jolly season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As there\u2019s so many birthdays flying about, it\u2019s possible that anyone born during this time might end up feeling like they have to share the spotlight. Now, this doesn\u2019t seem fair to us, and we believe everyone should be able to celebrate their birthday as the main character they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where the team at thortful step in! This September we\u2019re bringing some of that BIG birthday energy. We\u2019re actually taking over a public space near Tower Bridge for the day to celebrate some of our brilliant customers’ birthdays – let\u2019s just say we\u2019re going to make a real song about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big birthday energy means a big song and dance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here at thortful, our goal is to help you make someone feel extra special on their big day. Whether it\u2019s a milestone birthday or not, everyone deserves to be showered with love and attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, we like to think of ourselves as the nation\u2019s unofficial birthday cheerleaders and have whatever you need to celebrate anyone’s birthday \u2013 be it cards, gifts, or even birthday wishes inspiration.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we\u2019re not going to stop there, oh no! Because, after all, they do say go big or go home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why for our big birthday energy campaign, we\u2019re throwing a few lucky people a big (and we mean big) birthday song and dance in the only way we know how. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is our big birthday song and dance going to work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We all know that there are only so many things you can do to celebrate someone\u2019s big day. This got us thinking, why not make a literal song and dance about someone\u2019s birthday? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re talking about a big banner, a big band, dancers, music, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll be setting up camp at a famous landmark in London – Potters Field Park by Tower Bridge, to be precise \u2013 on Thursday 21st<\/sup> of September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find the wonderful people we\u2019ll be celebrating, thortful customers were asked to nominate a friend or family member. From there, we randomly selected six surprise guests who will be joining us for a massive celebration of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On arrival, the marching band will appear out of nowhere and instantly start playing birthday jingles. Around this time, our giant screen will also go live displaying personal messages and photos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ribbon dancers and a perky team of well-wishers will follow closely behind. Then, to round things off, we\u2019ll be giving each guest a big card, bottle of champagne, and gift voucher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, the aim is for London to realise just how wonderful this person is and come together in order to celebrate their birthday. A whole crowd singing happy birthday to you at your very own birthday song and dance, we don\u2019t think you can get much bigger than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
