As your boyfriend gets older, you'll want to celebrate! Try a variety of fun activities like thematic parties, romantic dinners, or find something new. If you're in a long distance relationship, look for extra special ways to celebrate his birthday, like sending birthday wishes from all his friends and family, or sending a special gift. Complete her birthday celebration by giving the perfect gift.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Celebrating Birthdays Together
Step 1. Take your girlfriend to dinner
The best way to celebrate a birthday is to take your boyfriend to his favorite restaurant. You don't need to go to a fancy restaurant. Just choose the place he likes.
Alternatively, you can cook your boyfriend's favorite dinner at home
Step 2. Have a fun thematic party for your girlfriend
You don't have to celebrate your boyfriend's birthday alone. Invite his friends, then invite them to celebrate with you! Decide on a fun theme that your boyfriend likes to make him feel even more special.
- For example, if your boyfriend loves football and his birthday is in the fall, throw a world cup-themed open-air party and make a bloody Mary bar.
- You can also throw a decade-themed party, such as a 1940s or 1980s style party.
- Determine the theme of the party according to his favorite food. For example, try creating a taco bar where you can make your own tacos. You can also make a nachos bar or have your own pizza party.
Step 3. Do an interesting activity with your girlfriend or in a group
Take your boyfriend out together to do something he enjoys, like a self-brewing class, or a one-night painting class. As an alternative, you can invite friends to experience activities in a group.
For example, you could experience flying in zero gravity, playing escape room, or taking part in a wine tasting on a nearby cruise ship
Step 4. Make your own cake or buy a really good one
You can't celebrate a birthday without a cake or a sweet treat! Whenever you buy or bake your own cake, be sure to choose a flavor that he likes.
- If your boyfriend has a good sense of humor, make a silly cake, such as a unicorn cake.
- Make cakes that are decorated according to your boyfriend's interests and hobbies, such as football or golf themed cakes.
- If your boyfriend doesn't like cake, give him his favorite sweet treat, like cookies, pies, or brownies.
- If he doesn't like sweets, make something special for him, like beef jerky or Chex Mix.
Step 5. Pamper your boyfriend by giving him a special massage and a special day to relax
Make his birthday more special by giving him a special day to relax. Massage him, or order a special massage for couples. Relax in the hot tub with him after the massage, then eat together!
Look for something that can make him relax. His definition of relax might be fishing or doing something in the backyard. Focus on the things he likes
Step 6. Be spontaneous and have fun like a child
Even if you are a teenager or an adult, you can still have fun like a child. Plan something silly, but fun.
- For example, have a water balloon filling contest and a water gun fight at home, or have a hula hoop race with your friends.
- Get on a roller coaster ride with him, or take him on an impromptu walk for a day, then choose your destination at random during the trip.
Method 2 of 3: Celebrating Birthdays Remotely
Step 1. Make an extra special video call
If you're away from him, you're bound to make video calls a lot. To celebrate his birthday, make a special call by preparing the same meal, then eating it together while making a video call.
- Alternatively, you can order food for him, then order the same food for yourself and eat it together.
- You can also read him a poem written especially for him or sing a self-composed song, or a song that reminds you of him.
Step 2. Send a special gift to your loved one
There's no better way to convey your longing than to send a gift! If he was away from home, he would be happy to get things he hadn't seen in a long time. If it's you far from home, send him a special gift filled with items typical of your area.
- For example, if you're at home when your boyfriend is out of town or another country, send him a favorite treat that can only be found in your area. Add homemade cookies or other things she likes, like her favorite shampoo that you can't find anywhere else.
- Alternatively, you can send something unique to your area, such as local food or handicrafts.
- You can also send something sentimental, like a rock from the park you met, or sand from a beach you've been to together.
Step 3. Make a mosaic of your photos with it in various locations
You just need to print the photo, then take the photo to special places near you. Take a photo of yourself holding the photo, then send a compilation of these photos to your lover.
This gift will make him feel right there with you
Step 4. Involve your boyfriend's friends and family in his birthday celebration
Collect messages, notes, and small gifts from your boyfriend's friends and family, then send them all in one package. Your boyfriend will feel loved even though he is far away!
Alternatively, record a video of congratulations from friends and family. Put the videos together and send them to your boyfriend on his birthday
Step 5. Make a picture birthday card involving friends and family
Have each person hold one letter of the congratulatory sentence, such as “Happy Birthday, Joni”, then take a photo of each person holding it. Put the photos together on a card, then ask them to sign it before the card is sent.
You can also ask them to hold up a banner and then take one big photo
Method 3 of 3: Giving Special Gifts
Step 1. Buy your girlfriend access to a paid streaming service
If your boyfriend hasn't subscribed to Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, or HBO Go, consider buying him access to one of these services. You can decide how long the subscription period is based on your budget.
For example, you can buy access for 1 year if the budget is adequate, or only 3 months if you don't have much money
Step 2. Pay attention to your boyfriend's interests
A memorable gift is one that shows that you know the recipient's preferences. Think of something he likes, then find a gift that relates to that.
- For example, if he likes a musical group, give him something related to that group.
- If he likes to watch movies, buy some tickets to the nearest cinema.
- If she enjoys baking cakes, buy her a new baking pan or recipe book.
Step 3. Give something practical
Practical gifts show that you care about their needs. This is a gesture of love. Your gift can also be made as attractive as possible so that the lover appreciates it.
- For example, if you notice that the gloves or scarf are worn out, buy them new ones.
- Alternatively, if he often says he needs a tool for his new project, buy it for him.
- As another option, you can buy him a new device he's always wanted, such as a game console controller or a device to enjoy streaming services.
Step 4. Buy your boyfriend something he doesn't normally buy himself
Everyone has the desire to buy certain things, but it's a shame to spend money, like a watch or an expensive cup of coffee. Buy your boyfriend something he likes, but rarely or never buys himself.
- For example, your lover may like sunglasses, but won't buy expensive ones. Give him a gift of glasses that are a bit expensive.
- If your partner likes coffee, buy him coffee from an expensive coffee shop or a gift card from his favorite coffee shop.
Step 5. Make your girlfriend a gift full of love
If you love to crochet or paint, give your boyfriend a homemade gift to show that you really love him. Try to find out what he wants, then use it as a gift idea.
- For example, if you want to make a blanket, use colors that he likes.
- If you're making a painting, include something he likes in the painting, such as a fishing scene.
- If you're not creative, keep it simple. Buy some plain wooden boxes from the store and paint them in the color your lover likes. Add a picture of the two of you in it to make it more sentimental.
