Birthdays, everyone has one and for the most part, it is the one day of the year that belongs to you and you alone. It is and should be a celebration of your own life. It is funny that the older you get, the less important your birthday seems to get...in fact, for some people, a birthday is nothing more than a reminder that you are getting older. What about your birthday falling on a workday....should you have to work?

Babies have been used in some of the most creative commercials of all time and seem to be such an obvious choice, but its how you present the babies that will make or break any campaign.
