Aren’t you sick of the same party-gift-dinner routine when it comes to preparing a birthday for your boyfriend or husband? Get out of the circle, because it’s no longer a surprise for the guy enjoying his special day these days. Instead, consider creative ideas that you will like arranging and that will make that special someone feel, well, special! We’ve compiled a list of out-of-the-box ideas that you might attempt from dawn to night to make his birthday genuinely unforgettable.

A picture collage: ‘Just me and you’ birthdays get old fast, so incorporate his family and friends and gain brownie points! Plan ahead of time and give his loved ones an alphabet starting with H-A-P-P-Y B-I-R-T-H-D-A-Y. (including yourself). You may either write it down or have it printed, and then ask each of them to pose with it and email you a photo. When all of the images are in, construct a collage, show it to him, and see the joy on his face. The best part? Distance is no barrier, and you may include all of his friends and family, even if they are all across the world.

Chalk it out: Buy some colored chalks and write happy birthday in huge, bold letters on the bedroom floor or wall. Allow him to view it first thing in the morning when he wakes up. There’s little question he’ll feel like the world’s ruler.

The heart of a king: Get him a crown, coronate him, and declare him the king of that day. Now urge him to write down his day’s wishes and make him feel supreme.

Treasure hunting: Put sticky love notes in areas where he is likely to discover them if you are the lovey-dovey pair. Consider the toilet, lunchbox, automobile, pockets of his pants, breakfast tray, and cupboard, and make him feel comfortable.
