Romantic Birthday Gift Ideas

You can come up with some ideas for your sweetheart's special occasion.

From a day at the spa to a romantic dinner to a weekend getaway filled with romance, you have several ways to make your beau smile and his heart melt. Put some thought into romantic birthday gifts and come up with some ideas for your sweetheart's special occasion.

Spa Day

Surprise your lady with the ultimate pampering birthday gift--a day at the spa for two. Find out which spa is her favorite by calling friends and family. Most spas have romantic spa packages for two, where spa goers are treated to couples' massages by candlelight, lunches with Champagne and bubble-packed and rose petal--sprinkled jacuzzi baths. Amp up this romantic spa birthday gift with a chauffeured ride from your home to the spa and toast champagne on the way.

Diamonds

Diamonds are a girl's best friend and can be the ultimate way to show your affection. Surprise your lady with a romantic night on the town and pick up a diamond bracelet or necklace that will make her swoon. Head to a restaurant in your area known for its romantic atmosphere; these restaurants usually have private rooms, low lighting and intimate settings.

Let management know it is your lady's birthday and ask them to prepare her favorite dessert. Order her favorite bottle of wine or Champagne. After you've eaten dinner and the waiter brings the dessert, surprise her with the diamond jewelry you have selected and tell her how much she means to you.

Weekend Getaway

Surprise your sweetie with a weekend getaway. To make it extravagant, whisk him away to an island in the Caribbean and spend the weekend having romantic, candlelit dinners on the beach and basking in your luxurious hotel room with views of the ocean. Or take a romantic cruise at sunset and dine on lobster and sip Champagne.

If you're on a budget, take your beau on a weekend getaway in your city. Have dinner at a romantic restaurant, and book a room at a romantic hotel in your town; try to get a room that has a view of the city's skyline.

Day of Pampering

The most romantic birthday gifts are not about the extravagance but about the thought. Treat your lady or your beau to a "king for the day" or "queen for the day" birthday surprise, entitling them to a full day of pampering by you on their birthday. Buy a bouquet of roses, make breakfast in bed, treat your loved one to a massage complete with massage oil and lotion, and take your sweetheart to a favorite restaurant for dinner. If you live near a beach, plan a romantic picnic on the beach at sunset.

Considerations

When you're thinking about a romantic birthday gift idea for your partner, consider her interests. Think about things she likes to do and come up with ways to put a romantic spin on it. For example, if your man loves a certain sport and is obsessed with a team, plan a romantic evening with that in mind. Surprise him with tickets to a game. If your lady is a fan of a certain music artist, surprise her with tickets to a concert. Make a romantic night out of it with a candlelit dinner at her favorite restaurant.
