Some Fun birthday ideas for your wife

Hide birthday and special message notes

A fun way to make your wife feel special the entire day is to write a series of different notes that have special birthday wishes and special messages on them and hide them all over the house. If she is going to work, you can put a couple in her handbag, lunch bag, a jacket or even hide some in her car for her to find.

What is great about these messages is that you can be very creative with them and they don’t only have to be about birthday wishes, they can also be about anything from something romantic, something special about the life you have shared together so far or specific things that you love about her or even about some sort of adventure that you both want to experience together sometime in the future.

Birthday gifts treasure hunt

Another fun idea that will keep things very interesting is for you to buy your wife a few different small but special gifts and then maybe one larger gift. You can get as creative with this one as much as you please as you can turn the way you give the gifts to her into a treasure hunt or scavenger hunt for her to find each and every gift. Remember to leave the best and biggest surprise gift as the final gift for her to receive. 

When it comes to choosing the type of small gifts to get her, pieces of jewelry that your wife loves, are always great ideas. Here you can choose items from a beautiful necklace, a pair of earrings, rings or bracelets. Decide on a design that she might love or may have some meaning to her birthday like her birthstone or a special message that has been engraved on to it.

Small but meaningful Gifts for Her

If your wife is not into the treasure hunt or scavenger hunt type thing, you can still have some fun by buying a couple of small but meaningful gifts. You can either find other ways about how to surprise someone with a gift or you can then give or send them to her maybe every hour or so throughout the day. She will love opening up so many little amazing gifts from you and they will really make her feel special because of the time and thought you put into each and every little gift.

Some romantic birthday ideas for your wife

A romantic dinner for two

To make your wife feel special on her birthday, you could plan a romantic dinner for the two of you but one that you prepared yourself. You can choose a special theme for her birthday that she would love and decorate a room in your house according to the theme. Move your usual dinner table into the room that you have chosen with the candles, flowers and romantic music. If the room you have chosen is the room that you usually have all your meals together, then change it up to have a more romantic look and feel to it.

Self-given pamper spa

Something that is romantic and will always make your wife feel special is to arrange everything for you to give her a self-given pamper spa. Women love to pampered and even more so if it is performed by her husband even if it is just for a couple of hours. Create an atmosphere that is calm with some scented candles, scented oils, facial, body creams and different types of scrubs for you to use to give her a nice and relaxing massage. Have a bath ready or get it ready after she has had her massage that is filled with some scented bubble bath for her to relax in as well.

Plan a Romantic weekend away  

If you are lucky enough and this year your wife’s birthday happens to fall on or close to a weekend. Then a great way to make your wife’s birthday special is to plan a weekend away for the two of you. When planning this weekend away, try to plan and organize as much of her favorite things to do while you are there. Things like seeing a movie or shows, site seeing or adventures and activities that she enjoys and then to finish the day of her birthday off with dinner reservations at a fancy restaurant.

Have a picnic under the stars

Having a picnic under the stars in the privacy of your own garden is another romantic and intimate way to make your wife’s birthday special. You might not have the time or funds to organize a weekend away or a dinner party for two or she just has to work the entire day.

Pick a nice open area in your yard where you can view the stars, then set up a picnic blanket, a great bottle wine with lots of her favorite things to snack on. You can even have a fire going for some warmth nearby, some soft music playing from the nearest window of your house or a portable music player. When she arrives home to spend the evening together, talking, relaxing and laughing.
