Relax! Before you settle for an impersonal gift card or yet another pair of earrings, check out these out-of-the-box birthday ideas for her.
Stepping out of the box in style
If the sky’s the limit, why not wisk your sweetheart away to a place where Princesses are real, and the world comes to watch winners cross the finish line. A trip to Monaco, just in time for the 2010 Monaco Grand Prix, where the celebrity watching is a good as the race. A star-studded charity fashion show and a visit to the castle are included in the package, to make your special someone feel like royalty, too.
Princess style without the Princess prices
If a jaunt to Princess Grace’s castle is not in the budget this year, you can still make your beloved feel like a magic Princess. Find out when a Renaissance Faire is scheduled for your area. If it’s near her special day, buy tickets and let he pick out a dress fit for a queen — or maybe one more suited to a wench, or an enchantress. More fairy-tale birthday ideas for her could include magic wands, a ride in a horse-drawn carriage or a beautiful piece of jewelry featuring a unicorn, wizard or other mythical being.
Give her sparkle of of sapphires
Sure, diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but this is all about different birthday ideas for her. So how about a brilliant sapphire ring set in gold? Or a tennis bracelet in the deep, rich hues of the ocean?
The ethereal beauty of sapphires is associated with pure love, fidelity and happiness. Traditional Kabbalistic sources connect the sapphire with heavenly realms and enlightenment. What a perfect choice for the most important woman in your life!

A basket of romance
Most women say that romance is the one thing they want the most. Why not give her that gift for her birthday? Start with a large basket. Add romantic films like “Love Actually” and classics like Casablanca. Put in a dozen of her favorite scented candles. Next, a bottle of wine and two glasses. Finally, select some rich chocolates or indulgent dessert to complete your basket.
The basket of romance alone would make a wonderful birthday idea for her but you are going to take it one step further. You are going to watch the movies with her. With the candles lit, And the wine open. And — and this is the BIG secret to making this gift spectacular — you are not going to make any comments about “chick flicks” or how you wish something would blow up. Think of it as a chance to learn something new about that wonderful woman you love.
Indulge her neglected passions
Every women has something she love to do, but seldom has the chance. It may be a matter of finances or of time or perhaps it’s location.
Figure out what it is that your wife or girlfriend or fiancee would love to do more often, then make it happen. Some ideas include:
- Scrapbooking
- Trying new restaurants
- Playing tennis, golf or another sport
- Photography, art or music
- Flying or boating
What ever it is, one of the best birthday ideas for her is to make the things she neglects possible. The cost can be low. In fact, it may just be a matter of making time for her to do what she loves to do while you watch the kids or handle the dinner prep or catch up on the laundry.
No matter what gift you choose, from expensive to free, remember that the very best birthday ideas for her start and finish with the love behind the gift. In the end, that is the real heart of everything she wants.
