How NOT to ruin your husband's birthday surprises!
Here are some quick and simple tips how NOT to keep a birthday surprise secret until your husband's birthday!
Tip#1 - Don't buy him 2 packs of DVD R- from Target a month before his birthday, keep them hidden in the closet and then in desperation when you need to burn something onto a DVD for a class project the next day and he thinks that there are no blank DVD's, confess that you bought him some for his birthday and pull them out of the closet so you can finish your project!!!!
Tip #2 - Don't try to buy him a French Cuff link shirt but remember him saying something a while ago how he wants a new size shirt compared to the ones that are already in his closet then have to try to ask him casually what size shirt he would wear if he were to get one. Busted! There is no other time of the year except his birthday (maybe Christmas) that I would even care what size French Cuff link shirt he wears and he knows that!
Tip #3 - Don't search for James Taylor concert tickets on the internet and forget to clear the history!
Tip # 4 - Don't leave a post-it note by the computer that has an itemized list of your husband's presents and the estimated cost. For example : James Taylor - $$ , Clothes - $$, new LCD 42" $$$$, new macbook $$$$, season tickets to Jazz $$$$ etc. (the last 3 Colin wishes was on my post-it note)
Tip #5- Don't start crying when your husband sees the list from #4 and remembers what he saw from #3 and puts it all together, 2 WEEKS before his birthday!!!!
I am so sorry Colin that I failed miserably at keeping everything a surprise for you. But at least you don't know what I have planned on your actual birthday!!! Hopefully you will be surprised a little bit.

I think it is so funny that for some reason you just couldn't keep the presents secret. haha. Don't worry, I think he will love everything just as much as if he didn't know. And, you're right. He doesn't know what you have planned for that day and maybe you won't get those things for him. Maybe you are just doing this all to throw him off the scent of what you're really doing! You're brilliant!
How cute. It's hard not to let secrets like that come out somehow. Hope you have a good time when the day actually comes!
Funny post! When is Colin's b-day? He's growing up so fast, now we won't be the same age anymore.
hehe.
That is hilarious Mandy! I find it very funny since you claim that no one has ever been able to surprise you. SEE...it's really hard! Hi Colin!
Haha! Thanks, Em! You just made me feel better! I guess I am brilliant after all! just kidding
Hey Mandy...maybe you should do what old married couples do and let him buy his own gifts and then let you give them to him :)
Love from Sweden
