🎉 Pro Tip: Match the Mood to the Milestone

• 40s — Go for self-aware humor about adulting and chaos.
• 50s — Lean into elegance with a twist of sass.
• 60s — Celebrate survival with warmth and wit.

No matter the number, the goal is the same: make them laugh, feel loved, and maybe forget what age they just turned.

Getting older might not be optional, but laughing about it definitely is.
So go ahead — send that text, bake that cake, and remind someone that every decade deserves its own punchline.
