Your husband is the one you lean on, confide in, and he is the father of your lovely kids. Apart from your wedding anniversary with him, his birthday is a big deal given how special he is to you. You may seem to have run out of birthday ideas for your husband (which is most likely the reason why you are here), but the birthday ideas below are sure to help you make this year's birthday celebration for your husband unique in a thoughtful way.
1. Photo Shoot Session
If your husband is busy round the clock, it is likely that he doesn't have any fun pictures of himself professionally shot by a photographer. His birthday is an opportunity to make that happen for him. Depending on his personality and likes, you can choose scenic locations or a studio where the photoshoot will be held. Ensure that the booking and every arrangement have been taken care of before you whisk him out of the house or office. Video coverage of him posing in different awkward styles and having fun at it will be a cherry on the cake.
2. Write Him a Love Letter
Go the old-school way and write your beloved a love letter detailing how much he means to you. Recount your love story - how it all began - and how grateful you are for the journey so far with him. Go on to write about your dreams and desires for him, never forgetting to add that you will remain his greatest support system. Close the letter with your birthday wishes for him and seal it with your lips.
3. Write Him a Poem
Taking the writing gift further, a poem to your husband as a birthday gift will be highly appreciated, especially if he loves reading poems. It isn't important to rhyme - just let the words flow freely from your heart. Also, there are no restrictions on the length of the poem as long as it contains no less than ten lines.
4. A Gift Collection
Here, you can go as far as buying him gifts that represent the number of days he has lived on earth. Don't panic about the cost; they could be as cheap as pen holders and phone stickers. All in all, these gift items should be fun to open, so you will have to wrap them in such a way that unwrapping one reveals another to be unwrapped, and that one will show another to be unwrapped, and so on.
5. A Trip to His Favorite Place
Note: his favorite place, not yours. In this case, you should know of a couple of places that your husband holds dear to his heart, whether newly discovered or as old as your marriage. His birthday this year can be celebrated in that location. To make it an amazing experience for him, keep it a secret and make sure he doesn't get an idea of the trip until the last minute. We trust you can pull that off successfully.
6. A Special Dinner With Him
As the chef you are, here is your opportunity to delight your man's palate with your culinary skill. But if you don't have time to execute that in your kitchen, you can make an arrangement for a special dinner in a nice restaurant. Ensure you will have reserved a space for only the two of you with soft music playing in the background. What a romantic outing that would be!
7. A Surprise Birthday Celebration at His Workplace
The beautiful thing about this kind of birthday surprise for your husband is that his colleagues and friends will be participants in the grand scheme of the event. Two or more of them could help you set the plan in place, and everybody will be treated to slices of the cake and refreshments. Let's talk about your husband's reaction: he will be mightily blown away. Don't forget your hankie at home, by the way.
8. Make It a Work-Free Day for Him at Home
This will be for the man who is relevant in the home front with his hands. As a birthday present, urge him to relax or even go out with his friends while you take care of his chores. To make it more interesting, ask him to list his requests for the day which he wouldn't need to move a muscle to attend to. In short, let him rule as an exquisite king for a day in his household.
9. A Special Song for Him
This you can compose for the occasion or find on the internet. You could sing it for him as he is waking up on the morning of his birthday, have it sung specially for him on his favorite radio station, or do both.
10. Surprise Him With a New Skill
Maybe he has been dying to see you try speaking a certain language or play a musical instrument - his birthday is the blessed day to show him that you have his desires at heart. Mind you, this isn't a last-minute birthday gift idea unless the last minute to you means the three-months worth of preparation time.
11. Treat Him to a Special Adventure With Your Body
Do we have to explain this one? Let's add two or three lines to give it some weight and we are done. It isn't like you've not been getting intimate all this while with your hubby. However, for his birthday, give him something he has never experienced with you. Girl, you have to fortify yourself beforehand with lots of amorous knowledge so that you won't end the adventure halfway because you ran out of imaginative power.
12. A Love Notebook
This notebook could be filled with drawings and words that depict your husband's daily life which you've been documenting for the last 365 days.
13. Grooming Kit
Your man ought to look his best for himself and for your admiration. Help him achieve that suave look with a birthday gift of a grooming kit containing shaving sticks, razors, beard oil, etc. He will surely appreciate it.
14. A Couple's Massage
You will have a lot to gain from this birthday gift idea. Plan to visit a massage parlor with your husband for the two of you to be treated to a luxurious body massage by professional masseuses. In the end, your muscles and skin will thank you for such a well-deserved treat.
15. Charitable Donation
If your husband is a philanthropist who loves putting smiles on people's faces with his money, you can choose one of the organizations he identifies with to donate some money to as his birthday gift. Request that the organization writes a special letter to him, first to celebrate his birthday, and secondly, to thank him for the money given through you. This will be about the best gift he could ever receive from you.
