The Husband\u2019s birthday was here sooner than I had expected it to arrive. The plans for a lavish party already had gone kaput. I wanted him to have a really special birthday and hence decided to do everything I could<\/p>\n\n\n\n

List of ideas for the Birthday Boy to make his quarantine birthday a memorable one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His favorite food.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I started off by preparing his favorite street food items. Both of us can hog on street food, hence I prepared the ragda pattice<\/a> and pani puri<\/a>! I also baked him a cake with chocolate ganache<\/a>. The cooking was cumbersome but the joy on his face was worth it all. The birthday breakfast was ordered from outside and we took all precautions while ordering food from a restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trail of Birthday Gifts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

He is someone who loves finding little surprise gifts here and there in the house on his birthday. Hence, I left him a little gift trail. We even turned it into a scavenger hunt for gifts. He had to decipher clues and find his gifts. His gifts included a few electronic items that help him with his everyday chores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decorate the house.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Colourful balloons have a different feeling attached to them. I used balloons and streamers to decorate the house. Thankfully I have a little flair for drawing which I used to draw quirky images and used them for the d\u00e9cor too. We also git the birthday boy to participate in choosing what colors he wants. We got him to enter the house and did a little confetti sprinkling too. Got him a little crown made as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His favorite music<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We got him to groove to his favourite tunes. We danced and sang his favourite songs. I managed to put some fairy tail lights which helped set the perfect ambience of the birthday. Listening to all the songs from the 90\u2019s was a beautiful experience in itself. It helped set the perfect mood for a memorable birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
