When you're dating someone, you automatically put more pressure on yourself before your partner's birthday. You're constantly trying to figure that one perfect birthday gift for him. But what about the other little things? Things you can do, on a budget no less, that will take him by surprise and make his day extra special? Here are a few ideas.
1. Video to wake up to
Just use your cellphone to make a video of you wishing him on his birthday and maybe even get his close friends to do the same. Combine all of the videos into one and make sure you send it to him before he wakes up in the morning. It will be the perfect start to his day.
2. Goofy selfie montage
We all have those picture perfect moments that we post on Instagram or Facebook. But for every perfect picture, there are 20 imperfect ones. So gather up the goofiest ones of the lot, print them out and put them in different places for him to find. With sweet messages scribbled on the back, of course.
3. Romantic room decor
Everyone loves a little bit of romance on their birthdays. Get tons of heart-shaped balloons, chocolates and some scented candles and set up his room with them when he's at work. It'll be the perfect surprise when he gets back home.
4. Customize his alarms
You've got to be a bit sneaky here. Borrow his phone for something the day before his birthday and change all of the alarms he has on it for the next day. No, we don't mean for you to let him sleep in - just edit the names to something more exciting. Like, 'Time for the birthday boy to wake up!'
5. A treasure hunt...
...that leads to a surprise party! Yes, we know it takes quite a bit of planning usually but it doesn't have to be a big gala. Just call a few of his close friends, gather up his favourite video games and order in some pizza. He'll be thrilled with even that much, trust us.
