Let it be known, I love a good surprise.... not so much for myself (I'm terrible at guessing, prodding and prying), but surprising others - especially my husband.
It all started years ago when I surprised him for Christmas. He had been going on and on... and on, about getting a new lcd tv. While he was away in Denver for work, I, with the help of his roommate, removed his old clunky tv and replaced in with a new one, equipped with a giant red bow. Sadly, I wasn't there when he returned home from his trip, but apparently he did a double take and was shocked to find exactly what he had been talking about for months...
I'm pretty sure this is how I sealed the future deal...
For our wedding, we exchanged gifts before the ceremony.... I think the Husband was SHOCKED when he was handed a wrapped up Movado watch case only to find a golf ball stating his present inside....

His 30th Birthday proved to be tricky. Being a May baby, most of his friends have already had their requisite "Surprise 30th Birthday" parties this year. Knowing the Husband hates being the center of attention, I told him it would be impossible to throw him one since it'd be expected.
However, for this surprisaholic, that just wasn't going to do. So I picked a favorite past time that is also something we typically do together every year, and I told him we were going to the Phillies Game.
Husband wearing his new Halladay tee that I bought, washed, and hid on top of the pile in his t-shirt drawer... the man has to have everything washed before wearing, surprise again Husband...
The surprise was, all of his friends would be there to meet us and we'd have a raging tailgate and party into the night, you know since UFC was on AGAIN..... Any other wives/girlfriends out there that feel like there is a fight every freakin' weekend?? I swear it's always on...
All and all, great time had and the husband was shocked and honored that so many people came out to celebrate and have a good time...
The Phillies actually lost, but I don't think anyone even cared.
Are you good at surprises, or do you spill the beans?
