Your loved one's birthday is getting closer and you are thinking of ways to make their special day even more colorful. Present him with a gift or experience that will wow him and amaze him by giving him a surprise! You'll need to come up with a list of interesting and creative ways to surprise him and make his birthday even more special this year.
Step
Method 1 of 13: Send him a happy birthday video
Step 1. Record a video with a fun birthday message or song
If you want, you can also invite other people to record videos. After that, send a festive video containing a happy birthday directly to your loved one's phone.
- This can be a good idea if your loved one lives out of town or some other place far away.
- If you don't know what to say in the video, tell him how much you care about him and wish his birthday to be the best day ever.
Method 2 of 13: Decorate your car and drive past where he lives
Step 1. Embellish your car with decorations, as if you were in a birthday parade
You can stick balloons, write messages with marker or shoe polish, or put up a banner that says "Happy Birthday!". Send a text message to your friend and ask him to look outside before you drive past his house so he can see his festive birthday surprise!
If you want to have a birthday parade with other friends, have everyone decorate their own cars and drive in a row
Method 3 of 13: Schedule an exciting day
Step 1. What activity does he enjoy the most?
Think about his hobbies, his favorite restaurants or cafes, and the activities he does to relax. Make a schedule and let him know that he can't make plans or appointments on that particular day. After that, you can take him out for a meal, visit the spa, visit his favorite restaurant, or go on a nature tour for the whole day to have fun.
- Spend the morning trying to hike. Try mini golf or paintball in the afternoon. In the evening, you can visit the cinema and watch two films at once.
- You can also prepare a birthday celebration in 12 days. During the 12 days leading up to the D day, give him notes, cards, letters, or his favorite candy and snacks, and plan fun activities. Divide the joy of celebrating his birthday into days, instead of enjoying it all in one day.
Method 4 of 13: Surprise him with a picnic
Step 1. Take her to a nature tour and prepare a delicious meal
Bring a mat to lay out on the grass and serve the food you like. You can bring cheese, crispy biscuits, meat, champagne and special treats for the two of you to enjoy.
To enjoy a more special moment, have a picnic before sunset. However, make sure it's not too dark when you're getting back in the vehicle (or heading home)
Method 5 of 13: Make a massage service reservation
Step 1. Alternatively, book a spa service for her
You can go out with him or stay at home and let him enjoy all the fun and surprises you've prepared. Arrange reservations and make payments in advance so he just needs to relax on his special day.
- If he doesn't really like spa services, you can also take him out for a round of golf or try another fun activity he enjoys.
- If you are married and have children, this solution can provide a way for your partner to leave the house and enjoy the moments of relaxation he or she needs.
Method 6 of 13: Prepare and bring breakfast for her to the room
Step 1. Let him relax while you prepare a delicious meal
You can make pancakes, waffles, eggs, toast, or whatever you want! Place the prepared food on a tray and take it to your room so your loved one can enjoy it without getting out of bed. Add a card with a cute design and a vase filled with fresh flowers to make the birthday breakfast moment even more special.
- Don't forget to clean the kitchen after you're done cooking!
- If you live far enough from your loved ones, try ordering a special breakfast for them via GoFood or GrabFood and have the food delivered to their home.
Method 7 of 13: Collect letters from loved ones
Step 1. Ask his friends and family to write down their prayers and wishes for him on a note
Before his birthday, collect all the letters and put them in a kind of scrapbook so he can read them. He will get many sweet messages from everyone who loves and cares for him at once.
You can also ask each person to write down messages and wishes on small notebooks and post the notes on their car or desk/work area
Method 8 of 13: Buy him flowers
Step 1. Everyone loves a special bouquet on their special day
Visit a florist or even a convenience store and choose a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers. If the birthday person has a favorite flower, make sure the flower is included in the birthday surprise.
Flowers are usually given to a partner or lover, while tulips, lilies, or narcissus are more suitable for friends
Method 9 of 13: Fill the room or the car with balloons
Step 1. Blow up lots of balloons and put them in her wardrobe, car, or private room in her office
When he opens his closet or gets into his car or room, he'll be bombarded with balloons! Choose balloons of various colors to give him a fun and festive surprise that he will never forget.
- If you have enough time, try writing a message on each balloon. You could write, for example, “I love you more than _” or “The _ reason I love you is _.”
- You can also write memories, funny stories, jokes, song lyrics, or meaningful sayings on each balloon to show him how important and special he is to you.
Method 10 of 13: Make a birthday cake for her
Step 1. Surprise her with her favorite treat
Take the time to bake the cake, using either instant cake mix or ingredients from scratch. After that, decorate the cake yourself. The cake will taste even more delicious than when you bought it (and of course it will seem a lot more meaningful).
- If he doesn't like cake that much, you can make cupcakes, pies, or cookies! Her birthday is her special day so make it something she will love.
- If he lives far away, buy dessert from a pastry shop in his city/region and have it delivered to his home.
- If he doesn't eat sugary or sugary foods, try making him his favorite salty dinner or snack.
Method 11 of 13: Decorate his locker if he is still in school
Step 1. This can be an exciting option to surprise your friends
Create some banners or messages that say “Happy Birthday!” and stick it outside his locker. Hang some ribbons or even balloons outside the locker for even more fun! You can also use magnet decorations, group photos, wrapping paper, large birthday cards, and candies.
Some schools enforce a ban on decorating lockers. Make sure you read the student rulebook first so you don't get into trouble
Method 12 of 13: Plan a surprise party
Step 1. A surprise party is a classic option to celebrate a loved one's special day with a surprise
Ask all your friends to gather at your house about 30 minutes before the birthday person arrives. Decorate the place with balloons, ribbons and banners, and prepare a birthday cake in the kitchen. When your loved one arrives, come out of hiding and shout “Surprise!”.
- To make it even more surprising, act as if you forgot his birthday and didn't plan anything. Thus, he would be completely surprised when he arrived at the party.
- If your loved ones live far away, try throwing a surprise party via Zoom. Invite everyone you care about to video chat, then invite the birthday person (but let them know you want to chat with them alone). When he joined the chat, everyone could cheer, “Surprise!”.
Method 13 of 13: Have a surprise dinner
Step 1. This event is similar to a surprise party, but is held in a restaurant
Have everyone meet at a special place for dinner together, then come with the birthday person a little later. When he arrives, he will be surprised by the presence of all his friends and family members who want to celebrate his birthday.
- You can also host a botram dinner at home and ask all guests to bring food to share.
- You can also host dinner via video chat. Have everyone make a delicious meal and sit down at their computer to “eat together”.
