We had a group of folks at one point that would make note of everyone's birthday and posted it on a common area space, ie. cafeteria, or a common board that everyone sees (our boards are by the bathrooms, so eventually you get the idea), and posted each month everyones birthday on a calendar, and posted usually the last month and the current month, birthdays and work anniversaries. Also they have the hallmark card maker on computer in the office and someone will print a bunch of cards and have the "team" sign them, and give to that person on their birthday or closest to it if it were on a weekend. They would also provide a muffin or something special for that day. Usually a big blueberry or cranberry, or bran muffin with a candle in it. Something small, but just to remember your birthday. Got to be too much for the team and since our team has been disbanned for other reasons. But it was good for a while, and they did sing happy birthday too. Kinda fun for a while while it lasted, but seemed like they were doing an aweful lot of that in some months and it got distracting.
