Surprises For Their Birthday

Whether they're turning 18, 30, or 50, here is how to plan a surprise that will be talked about for years.

Stop buying "things", offer "emotions"

People quickly forget what perfume they got for their 25th birthday, but they never forget how they felt. Your focus for a birthday should be creating an emotion.

The Digital Greeting Card (Guaranteed Surprise)

Instead of sending a boring "Happy Birthday!" on WhatsApp, send them a link to their own birthday website. Add funny pictures, party (or emotional) music, and a long wish.

Create The Card

3 Classic but Effective Ideas

1. Breakfast in Bed

If you live together, nothing beats starting the day with pancakes, fresh coffee, and a beautiful message placed on the tray.

2. A day full of sticky notes

Hide dozens of sticky notes with reasons why you love that person around the house, in their jacket pockets, in their wallet, on the bathroom mirror.

3. Kidnapping the Birthday Person

Without telling them, pack their bag, pick them up from work (with the complicity of their colleagues) and head straight to a weekend getaway in the mountains or at the sea.
