Remembering someones birthday is the easiest way to make someone feel special but often its the most difficult thing to do. The only birthday we tend to remember without much difficulty is our own! Birthday is one of those wonderful occasions on which everybody wants to get a little pampered and spoiled but if you dont even remember that its the birthday of some one close to you, well...obviously he wont feel very good about it.

Just write down the name of your closest friends and family members, along with the date on which they were born and make a habit of checking the note book every three or four days. Its an excellent idea provided you remember checking out the note book regularly.

Another way of remembering birthday is quite similar to the former method but the new technology has made it a lot more easy. Simply install a reminder software and key in the birthday details that you want to remember and your computer will do the rest.
