Summary | Wishing someone a happy birthday over social media is very pale in comparison to for instance staying up till midnight and surprising someone with a call or visit. Also a better option than wishing someone a happy birthday via social media is to give them a gift - it does not need to be expensive, bought, or material. All it takes is a thought. That said, happy birthday wishes via social media can be nice, especially if some thought was put into them. Posting a personalized e-card or an old photo of the birthday boy or girl (where they look good) is a nice gesture for instance. What should be avoided is not even taking the time to spell our 'happy birthday, XYZ' and writing something like 'HBD'.
