Making birthdays special for the man that has everything can be hard to do. Doing little things throughout the day to make your husband feel special will mean more than a big store-bought gift. So here are 10 ways to make your Husband feel special on his birthday.
Some guys aren’t used to getting love notes or specials surprises from their wives, that’s when it is really special to do something out of the ordinary. My Husband just turned 30 and I wanted to do something to make his day memorable.
10 Ways to Make Your Husband’s Birthday Special
Before the big day, I made my plans and went to Walmart. The first thing I shopped for was the cards. Hallmark has a great selection of cards start at 47 cents.
We always get 2 cards. I let the kids pick one out and I select a special one from me. While I was there I got lots of different cards for other occasions that were coming up, that way I would be prepared ahead of time.
1. Breakfast in Bed
Have you ever done this? Sometimes it’s not that easy. Your husband may need to get up early for work. In that case, you can always make a hot breakfast in a bag to go. One of the easiest things to make is a breakfast sandwich with eggs, ham, and cheese on a bagel or English muffin. Wrap it in tin foil to keep it hot and include a side of fruit or yogurt. Don’t forget the birthday note or Hallmark card from the kids!
2. Birthday Notes in the Car
Surprise him throughout the day by hiding special notes or Hallmark cards in his car. Places to hid them; the glove box, visor, center console, on his umbrella.
3. Birthday Surprise in His Desk
What’s your husband‘s favorite snack or candy bar? Get a co-worker to hide his special snack in his desk or locker at work. If he’s not working, you can dress up his snacks in a special way.
4. Skip the Sack Lunch
Have lunch delivered for him at work or go and pick up his favorite take out and deliver it for him. Yum yum!

5. Get His Boss to Make Him Leave Early
This might be difficult, but it would be very special and surprising if his boss said, “Happy Birthday, you can leave early today!” If your husband already has the day off, you can spare him all the housework for the day. Have the kids do his chores, fold his laundry, and make the bed.
6. Balloons
Balloons just make everything more fun! Make a surprise wall of balloons when he comes out of his room in the morning. Decorate the house with Balloons or his car so that when he gets off early he’ll be really surprised!
7. An Adventure
Instead of getting your husband some thing, plan him an experience to remember. Some ideas are: a helicopter ride, balloon ride, tour of fighter jets, a boat or rafting trip, mountain climbing adventure, zip line tour. If he gets off work early to go, have everything he needs ready to go.
8. Dinner
If you’re not having a party or going out to eat, make dinner special by serving his favorite, or something fancy. Have the kids dress up and serve him like he’s in a restaurant. Of course, having a surprise party is always fun too.
9. The Gift
If you do get a gift, wrapping it in an oversize box will help disguise it. Or, make it fun and do a little scavenger hunt. Draw a map and let your husband find it! Offer encouraging clues about how much you care for him to lead him to the gift and make him feel even more special!
10. Your Card
I always like to save my Hallmark card for the end of the day. Just to make it personal and share a special moment.

My husband and I have our birthdays a week apart, so I’m always trying to find ways to make his a bit more special! The balloon idea is so much fun, and I think he would get a big kick out of it! My one year old daughter would love it, too!
Has anyone looked into where birthday custom come from? I found it really interesting that the Bible only mentions 2 birthdays and both have a negative connotation.
I still think it’s really important to have special family days so we just celebrate on our anniversary or find ways to make ordinary days special. Thanks for the suggestions
Great article Janine! Really loved reading it from top to bottom. These ideas are really wonderful and I would love to see more of your work. Do you have any? And where can I find it? Cheers.
I love the scavenger hunt idea!!! I had done it many years ago when our children were small. The gift was a simple t-shirt, but the fun in finding it made the gift so much more special. The kids helped me come up with the clues and everyone really got into it. Thanks for the reminder…I’m doing this again…now have to come up with cool clues because his birthday is in 3 days!!! God Bless!
Thank you for sharing… I’m going to try some of these ideas. His birthday is on the 2nd, and he works overnights, so I’m going to see if a coworker can drop him off at Denny’s to meet me for breakfast!
Love it! Let me know what he thinks about your surprises! 🙂

Thank you for posting this.Really awesome tips to celebrate birthday
I totally agree with you. People should celebrate their birthdays. Nowadays everyone is so depressed! We should all try to find something beautiful in our lives. We often depend on other people (relatives, friends), so this one day in year should be a special treat!
Thanks for the wonderful article Bro 🙂

What about produce? Do you buy that once a month too or do you make trips for fresh produce? Just curious! To go once s month would make my life much easier!
