How to make a birthday special alone?

Question

Im leaving my husband, possibly forever, to get some space after some horrible news came out.
I dont need any advice on my impending divorce nor would I like to talk about it... but ill be moving away to family only a bit before my birthday. Its my grandpas 90th this year so I'm sure they'll do something for him... but I don't think I'll get a birthday this year. I haven't for the last 3 years (at one point my birthday dinner was leftovers). I know birthdays shouldn't be a big deal, like first world problems, but I've never been listened to about what I want for my birthday my whole life.
So I guess... what are things for a late October birthday that one can enjoy by oneself? I'll be moving to a small (like 5k people small) rather isolated community... so idk what is there to really do. It just feels like shit icing on a cake made of shit.
Is there anything you like to do, alone? On your birthday... in order to feel special?
Massage is a good idea. Its a tourist town so there is no shortage of spas of many kinds. I was thinking of taking myself to the movies... but my husband and I are big fans of the movies so I think it make me more sad than not, unfortunately.

Answer

Find out if any restaurants or anything do something special for your birthday like a free meal or dessert or something. This year I got a free desert and a free drink from Starbucks but I didn't look into any other things around me I could have done, going shopping and buying something you've wanted for a long time if your budget allows

Answer

Have a self care day.  Go enjoy a coffee and treat at the local cafe, enjoy a solo lunch with a book, visit a pumpkin patch or go for a walk in the fall leaves, order in or prepare your favourite meal, enjoy a book and bath or a mani/pedi, book a hair treatment, order yourself flowers, go to a movie.
There are a lot of options that can either cost money or be free depending on what your budget for the day is and what you enjoy to do for yourself.  Hope you can find a few things to do in your new town to brighten your day.

Answer

I’m married with two kids. My dream would actually be to go to brunch with a friend or just take myself for a doughnut and coffee, do some shopping for some new outfits, come home and relax, order my favorite take out for supper and watch a movie at home, read a good book…then sleep in late the next day lol I don’t live on the wild side. I don’t like to be touched but you could do a massage, get your nails done, do some shopping, or even see if someone wants to go with you to do pottery painting or a paint and sip.

Answer

Getting your toes/nails done would be nice!! Or your hair! Definitely agree on a massage, or spa day. I also love going to the chiropractor

Answer

Maybe new hair, get toes or nails done. Then go for spa or massages 💆‍♀️💕

Answer

Treat yourself. My husband worked a long day on my last birthday so it was just another day (we did celebrate later). I took the kids to my favorite restaurant for lunch and ordered food that makes me happy and a smoothie drink I never really get myself even though I love them. Did a little shopping. If I didn’t have my kids with me I’d probably just make a day out of it, massage, pedicure, shop a little or go see a movie, eat at a favorite restaurant. Probably get cozy clothes for the night and find something good to watch with some takeout. Whatever makes you happy that you have excuses as to why you can’t or shouldn’t, just do it!

Answer

Is there a massage place u could go to or a nearby big city where you could meet friends and drink or party or spa ?
