If co-workers have birthdays coming up, help make them feel extra special while they're stuck at work. Throw a birthday party in the office! Read on for tips on how to surprise your coworkers on their birthdays.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Sticky Notes
  • Balloons
  • Gift Certificate or DVDs
  • Snacks/Drinks
  • Birthday Cake
Step1
Send an email to friends at work and let them know what date you'll be celebrating your co-worker's birthday. Put together a sign-up list on the e-mail with snacks your co-worker likes, such as cookies, chips, etc. Ask each friend to sign up for bringing one of the items for the party.
Step2
Pool money and buy your co-worker a small gift, such as a gift cards for his or her favorite restaurant or a few DVDs.
Step3
Treat your co-worker to lunch. Or, have another co-worker take that person to lunch so that you can get him or her out of the office while you prepare the party.
Step4
Grab some colorful sticky notes and write "Happy Birthday!" "We Love You!" "Have a Great Day!," etc. Put them all over his/her desk and computer screen when the person is away from the desk (probably during the lunch break).
Step5
Bring in a birthday cake, a few balloons and your co-worker's favorite snacks. Gather your co-worker's friends together and bring all the treats and gifts to the desk at the same time. Once the birthday guy or girl comes back to the office, start the party.

Tips & Warnings

  • Might be a good idea to clear the party time with your boss.
