What surprise should I plan for my boyfriend's birthday during our trip?

I'm a 28-year-old woman, and I’m heading to Brazil with my boyfriend, who’s 30, and his friends (mostly guys, plus two ladies) for the Rio de Janeiro Carnaval 2025 to celebrate his 30th birthday. This trip is fully planned, and he knows all about it. I'm hoping to surprise him with a sweet gesture while we're there, like an excursion or some thoughtful birthday surprises, but I’m having trouble coming up with something special! I already have a gift for him, but I really want to add a cute touch! His actual birthday isn’t during our trip, and we’ll be staying in an Airbnb with his friends. Any ideas? 😊

That sounds like an amazing trip! How about planning a special group dinner at a nice restaurant to celebrate his birthday while you're in Rio? Would you want it to be a private event or something more casual with everyone?

Consider organizing a surprise group outing, like a sunset cruise along the coast or a samba dance class just for your group. You could also create a mini birthday celebration in the Airbnb with decorations, his favorite cake, and a personalized video message from friends or family. These thoughtful touches will make him feel special!

That sounds like an amazing trip! How about planning a surprise birthday brunch at the Airbnb with everyone? You can bring in his favorite food or have it catered. Add fun decorations, a cake, and maybe even a toast where everyone shares a favorite memory of him. Additionally, consider a thoughtful excursion like a scenic hike to Sugarloaf Mountain or a samba dance lesson as a fun group activity! It'll make his birthday feel special amidst the celebrations! 😊✨
