Savvy mum creates 'smart' hack for those who are 'terrible at remembering birthdays'

Considering how many days there are in a year, it's easy to forget somebody's birthday. However, by the time that awful sinking feeling has hit your gut that you've forgot to wish them well, it's too late to send a birthday card or gift without it arriving late.

In order to become more organised and to tackle her forgetfulness, a mum has shared a nifty tip targeted at those who are 'terrible for remembering birthdays'. Taking to TikTok, mum Em - who boasts more than 93,000 followers on account @organisedbyem sharing her organisation tips and hacks - has been labelled 'great' for her idea.

Since posting, Em's video demonstrating her unique idea has surpassed a whopping 280,000 views to date.

Captioning the post, the mum wrote: "How to make sure you don't miss any birthdays this year."

She explained: "Here's a way to make sure you don't forget any birthdays in 2023 and create a birthday card organiser!"

She went on: "I print a list for all the birthdays I have buy for and stick it on the front of this organiser.

"It's broken down by month and I tick off the cards as I go along. Try and bulk buy so your organiser is fall for the year."

"No more missing birthdays!" She gushed.

Flocking to the video, over 100 TikTok users rushed to the comments where several people praise how 'smart' the idea is.

One person gushed: "I love this idea!"

A keen TikToker wrote: "I'm definitely doing this...I'm terrible for remembering birthdays"

"So smart!" A third added.

One person asked: "Why is this so clever?"

A fifth penned: "I did this since you shared in 2020 it really helps!"

A different user said: "Great idea! Only I would forget about the folder and go out and buy the cards again."
