Birthdays are a chance to show that you pay attention. Instead of a predictable gift, plan an experience built around something he loves: a cooking class, a match, a concert or a day trip to a place he keeps mentioning.
Recreate your first date, hide small notes around the house or invite his oldest friends for a surprise dinner. A playlist of songs from every year you have spent together is cheap to make and hard to forget.
Whatever you choose, keep the day about him. The best celebrations feel personal, not expensive.
