Well, last year for my wife's birthday, I surprised her with a trip to her favorite beach. I had secretly packed all her things and when she woke up that morning, I told her to get in the car. She was so excited when she realized where we were going. We spent the whole day there, just walking on the beach, having a picnic, and watching the sunset. It was a simple yet wonderful surprise.

You could try to recreate your first date. Go to the same places, do the same things. For example, a friend of mine did this for his wife. He even wore the same clothes as on their first date. His wife was extremely touched and surprised.

In the beach trip surprise, the best part was the sunset. The sky was painted with beautiful colors and we sat on the beach, holding hands, just enjoying the moment. It was a very romantic and peaceful time.

One time, I arranged a surprise dinner at her favorite restaurant. I secretly invited all her close friends and family. When we walked in and she saw everyone, her face lit up with pure joy. It was a simple yet very effective surprise.

In the novel "Celebrating Years," the male protagonist, Fan Xian, had three wives: - Lin Wan 'er was the illegitimate daughter of the Eldest Princess Li Yunrui and Prime Minister Lin Ruofu.

You could plan a surprise trip. For example, if she has always wanted to go to Paris, book a flight and hotel secretly. Then on her birthday, present her with the tickets. It's a hot surprise because it's a big adventure and something she may have only dreamed of. Also, pack a suitcase for her in advance with some new clothes for the trip. This adds an extra element of surprise and thoughtfulness.

A husband arranged for a private concert in their backyard. He knew his wife loved a particular local band. He set up a beautiful stage area with fairy lights. When the band started playing as she came home on her birthday, she was stunned. It was a hot surprise because it was something she always wanted but never expected. The whole atmosphere was filled with music and love, making it an unforgettable birthday for her.

If it is in a very private and loving environment where the wife is fully on board with the idea, it might be appropriate. For example, if it's just the two of them in their own home or a private, secluded place they have chosen together. But it's not appropriate in public or if it makes either partner feel uncomfortable or violated in any way.
