Tell him to go home
When’s the last time he hopped a flight and went home to visit his
family and friends? If you really want to get to his heart buy him a
plane ticket home. Better yet, get him a gift card or ticket voucher for
an airline so he can make the trip work around his own schedule. Put it
into a birthday card and tuck it into his underwear drawer for an extra
little surprise.
Step outside of your comfort zone
Sometimes we have to do things we’re less than thrilled about for the
people we love. Has he been bugging you to attend WrestleMania with him?
Does he constantly drop hints about how “awesome” it would be to go
rock climbing? To make his special day extra special, tear down one of
your personal barriers and take on an activity he’s always wanted to
try. It shows him that you really care about his interests.
An honest cliche
The quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach — it’s no lie.
If he’s working on his birthday, try whipping up his favorite lunchtime
snack (for two) and bring a pseudo picnic to his office. It’ll be a nice
break in his busy work day and some extra one-on-one time for the two
of you.
Nurture his nerdy side
If he’s been obsessed with Star Wars since he would talk, buy him the
collector’s edition box set. Or if he’s into bird watching, take him on
an expert-led hike. No matter what his quirky hobby is, do something to
show that you appreciate every side of him. It’ll remind him that you
really do know him better than most people — assuming he doesn’t share
his obsession with Harry Potter with the world.
Get naughty
Doing something sweet and sentimental is very romantic but there’s
nothing like getting kinky to celebrate a special day. Turn your bedroom
into a personal spa, complete with a hot bubble bath and scented oil.
After a dip in the tub, take turns giving each other a long, intimate
massage and see where the evening leads…
Take on his chores
Give your sweetie the day off by taking on his to-do list. Get his car
washed, trim the bushes (or try to, at least), mow the lawn or make
dinner. No matter what he’s got going on, do your best to chip in and
let him focus on a day for himself. After all, women aren’t the only
ones who need a little personal time.
Throw a party — and leave
Invite all of his best guy friends over for a night of cards, beer and
sports (or whatever they’re into). Set the poker table, whip up a
night’s worth of snacks, and have them arrive 30 minutes before your guy
is scheduled to get home. Once you’ve done the whole “surprise” thing,
kiss him good-bye and head out for a night with the girls. He’ll
appreciate the night with the guys and the fact that you are willing to
give him his space.
