I really want to surprise my wife for her 30 something birthday, which is round the corner. Not just to celebrate her birthday, but also to apprepriate her hard work in delivering our first born son. I want to present her with a whole day worth of surprises in doses till the final 'surprise gift'. I'm wondering if anyone can furnish me with the day's itinerary and gifts ideas.

I think lots of little thoughtful gifts are more appreciated than one big expensive gift. So here are some ideas:
> Buying a copy of a subscription to her favorite magazine.
> Is there something she alwyas says she wanted, bt never got round to getting.
> She is probably tired, and doesn't want to clean the house, get some professional cleaners in.
> Could she benefit from some expert advise, for meal planning, some personal problem or home decorating project? Arrange an appointment with a nutritionalist, therapist or designer.
> Is there some distant relative or old school friend who lives far away, fly them in.
> Dig out some old home movies, photographs and slides, get the, digitised, get friends to video record happy birthday messages and compile a Happy 30th birthday DVD.
> Has she always wanted to trace her family tree but never had time? Get a professional genealogist to do it for you.
> Have a surprise party, leave the house, when you come back in the evening it will be full of friends and family hiding in the dark saying "Surprise!".
> Is there a room or garden needing attention, call in the TV makeover team, when you come back the house is transformed.
> Is there a home appliance you have always been meaning to buy? Let her come home and see it installed.

Bath & Body works, a trip to the massage parlor, a nice new nightie, and anything that will make her feel beautiful and special. Try getting a sitter fot the night and go to a honeymoon suite - That is if the baby's o;d enough and her health is good. If not write her a letter and give her a raincheck for when the time is right.

i think as a mother , i can understand what your wife has gone thru, and it is rather good of you to share in the joy..( not may hubbies are like you)...anyway a good way to start the day would be breakfast in bed, as she nurses the baby..you can prepare the breakfast...and then if she is ready to hit the road, you may want to book a massage day spa for her, to recoup her energy , a massage is great esp after all that labour pains..and finally top it off with a beautiful candle light dinner, and get her some mother gifts like a stylish baby bag..or something.in that area....i am sure she would be very happi.....good luck and all the best

My husband seems like you. I think it would be best if you will giver her roses or make a suprise celebration. Give her what you think she likes most. Or take her to SPA, i know some of them giving afterbirth massage.
She just delivered baby, make her feel that shes still pretty eventhough her looks change. Women suffer to postpartum depression, because they are losing self confidence and build self pity on themselves, make sure your wife will not suffer this. Give her and the baby a lot of attention by helping her with the baby.
Im glad there are guys out there that really loved their wife.

To start, CONGRATULATIONS!!! i would say that your wife would love a day of pampering, massages, facials, a manicure (nails and hands), a pedicure (feet and toes). i know that this is something i would just love, however, i have never given birth before. You know you could take her away to a nice cottage somewhere and she can just relax and revive and you could take care of the newborn the whole time. My friend's wife also just gave birth to a son, he had a beautiful necklace made (similar to the one in the link below), i guess it all comes down to what your wife likes. they are my suggestions, i hope this helps and once again Congratulations on your new arrival.

Lots and lots of pampering. I know from experience, being a new mom is lots of hard work, and very exhausting. Let her take a nap, take the baby out for a few hours. Surprise her by having the baby's picture made. Make sure to do things to take her mind off being a new mom, yet also remind her of being a new mom so she knows how much she's appreciated.

bunch of flowers and balloons to celebrate her effort, then a chef coming in giving her fave food on a silver tray, all with class....
then dessert served up...
then a singer or a band delivering her fave song.
ur a great man.. keep it up for its hard to find nowadays.... and whatever happens in the future, think about this magical moment, when u were so happy and in love with her.. keep her, hold her and love her forever...
The best to u both...

Oh my!
Take care of the baby as far as changing diapers, entertaining etc. She has to feed if she is Brest feeding.
Let her stay in BED! If you do not have a TV in bedroom, move one there. Bring her food to her! Rub her feet, and back (while you are taking care of Jr.). Let her sleep!
This was my ultimate b day gift after having my three, but I never got it :0(

You can give rose,after birth spa or even be as wife maid. All this is not so important than your "LOVE AT HEARTS".What she need more is your love, care and protection for herself and your baby.So Man, Go do it for your family. God Bless your family, Amen.
