Birthday Items are gifts you will receive in Animal Crossing: New Horizons every year on your birthday. A week before your birthday, there will be an announcement in your village that there will be celebrations on the day.
Once your birthday arrives, Tom Nook or Isabelle will make an announcement. However, to actually start getting gifts from villagers, you have to attend the actual birthday celebration in Animal Crossing New Horizons.
Getting birthday gifts from villagers in ACNH
On the day of your Birthday, a villager will take you to their home. At their home, you will find three of your close friends and birthday celebrations preparations for you. Just blow the Birthday candles, and you will get a birthday item as a gift in ACNH.
After this, you can trigger the event; you must hit a piñata to break it. Press the A button repeatedly to get 10 Cupcakes that will help you get gifts from other villagers. If you hit Pinata slowly, you will only receive six birthday cupcakes, which means fewer gifts.
Once you have birthday cupcakes, you can trade them with villagers, and they will give you a gift in exchange. However, you need to be at least friendship level 3 with a villager in ACNH before they will give you gifts in exchange for birthday cupcakes.
Besides the gifts from Villagers, you will receive 2,000 Nook Miles and a Handmade Cake from Mom with three variations. On your Birthday, we will recommend you play at night so you can enjoy a particular song from K.K. Slider. K.K. Slider will appear on your Birthday, irrespective of the day, so ensure you are there to enjoy it.
