Given that I have one (just secured the last piece of it an hour ago) and wanted to share, I thought I might as well start a new thread and solicit the biggest / most over the top birthday surprise/gift that you've done for spouse or SO. Maybe we can all steal ideas from each other for future years... :smthumbup:
My fiance and I enjoy going to concerts, but this year has been quiet music-wise. There was exactly one concert that she wanted to go to this year - her favorite band - not the biggest band but one that's had a few hits in the charts over the years. She had tickets for their local show, including meeting the band. (We've met them on previous tours and I found out the bassist is a huge fan of my work). Some of the bands song lyrics are being sewn into her wedding dress at this very time.
She spent the day of the show in the ER, getting a kidney to bladder stent removed - third time in the ER/Hospital in 4 days. A no show for the show obviously. That was a couple months ago. She is still bummed out.
Her birthday was yesterday, but I'm out of town. The band had been touring Europe, but is back and playing a show halfway across the country this weekend. You can probably guess where this is going...
Non stop airline tickets, upgraded to First class on the outbound leg.
Limo from the airport to the hotel.
Top Floor Executive suite at the Ritz-Carlton.
Upon arrival, two gifts will be wrapped and awaiting in the room: Tickets to the show, including meeting the band, and a 1 pound Reeses Peanut Butter cup.
Limo from the hotel to the show.
I told her to expect to be unavailable this upcoming weekend and plan accordingly, but nothing more. Going to be cryptic when it comes time to pack. I'm going to see how far we can make it before she figures out what the trip is for...
I've told her several times she's made me happier than I can put into words - maybe this can do some explaining that words can't.

Put the internet to work for you.
