Romanticize Your Home

Surprise the birthday guy or gal with inexpensive romantic touches around the home for them to find when they come home from work, picking up the kids, or a day of shopping.

• Scatter a rose petal path in your home's entryway. No rose petals around? Try other botanicals from the garden such as a simple aisle made of leaves or greenery.
• Dim the lights and place candles in various rooms.
• Play a selection of tunes from his or her favorite artists.
• Think of the birthday person as a guest in their own home and set out a plate of appetizers.
• Greet the guest of honor with a cocktail or beverage at the front door.
• Place a homemade birthday card on his or her pillow and rose petals all over the bedspread.
