Here is a way:
1. Get to know someones ins and outs well enough to surprise them with a delightfully appropriate birthday card that not only
a) has their name written into the joke on the cover
b) has a picture of an old bearded man that may or may not look a future version of them
but c) has an appropriate reference to what happened that day. ie.“No, Timmy, I did not have a pet dinosaur when I was younger, now stop asking!”
2. Provide a well written and touching entry to the card, making it very possible to cause the reader to wonder why they are so fortunate.
3. Purchase a light switch cover with a picture of Johnny Cash on it, for the use of sprucing up that person’s bedroom at home.
4. Capitalize on a noted childhood enjoyment of Batman by purchasing a handbook on how to be like him. Possibly The Batman Handbook will do. No, it will do.
5. Prove to that person how much you know about them in the little, common things that by compiling such a mix of sentiment and understanding, will render the recipient struck dumb and silent, able only to look in your eyes and wonder
“Why am I so fortunate?”

By the way this is a true story. It happened. Here’s the proof.
