How Do I Make My Son's Birthday Amazing?

Does your son have a favorite theme?

Do you love to cook?

Do you plan to buy a surprise gift for your son?

Do you plan to host a party?

Does your son love to travel?

Do you know to bake?

This can be a great time to show how much you love him by curating a birthday party based on his favorite theme. Most stores today sell common birthday theme-based goodies like balloons, masks, party hats, plates, and even theme-based return gifts. These can truly make your son's birthday extra special, especially if your son is young and has a passion for cars, superheroes, or any other cartoon characters.

Think of all the things that your son loves. It could be something as simple as Mac'n'cheese or something elaborate like a three-course meal. Depending on what you plan, you can decide on a surprise table for him. For example, if it's an elaborate meal, the entire family can sit together for dinner. On the other hand, if it is a simple take-away dish, you can consider heading to the local part for a private picnic party. Either way, make sure to cook something he loves or even considering ordering a takeaway if that's easier for you.

Great! Buy something that your son loves and possibly something that he has been asking you for some time now. Be as generous as you can and get him the best gift possible. If you can't, consider buying something similar that is less expensive or even look around used shops for that special gift. It is ok even if the gift is not new as long as it is something that he really wants!

Think about hosting a surprise birthday party for your son, especially if his friends are old enough to keep it a secret. The smile that you'll see on your son's face will be priceless and is worth all your effort.

Make it a point to take your son on a vacation for every birthday. By doing so, you create a tradition of traveling on a particular occasion and this is something that your son is sure to cherish even after he grows up. For all you know, he may even want to pass it on to his kids. Above everything, it is a great way to create lifelong memories for the entire family and it is sure to double up as a stress-buster for you as well.

Great! Bake a cake for your son based on the flavor and theme that he loves. This is sure to bring a loud squeal from him, especially when you keep it a surprise.

No problem! Make sure you order a cake from the local cake shop that he would love. Again, pick his favorite theme and color and make sure that the cake is reasonably-sized to last for him and his friends.
