Quarantined birthday ideas?
My boyfriend's birthday is coming up. We had a long weekend in Boston planned for a while (since we were going to be there for a wedding any way): I got him a nice AirBnB, tickets to a baseball game, and was going to take him to dinner at his favorite restaurant! He was super, super excited - but given the circumstances, I obviously had to cancel it all. He understands, of course, but would love to still surprise him with a celebration or something to take our minds off of the current situation we're all living in. Any ideas?!

BUY DESSERT EARLY!
My birthday was Monday, and we decided to go out at 9 to get Dairy Queen after I discovered that I couldn't get a pie from Baker's Square same day. DQ was closed.
Tuesday, we went out earlier, DQ had a line around the block, Baker's Square was closed, Aldi was closed... we ended up at Target doing a grocery run and picking up some Ben and Jerry's instead.
Dinner, though? We splurged and ordered delivery from a local steakhouse, and it was DIVINE.

Love it - I actually pre-ordered some treats for us through Goldbelly! Can't wait - thanks for the idea :)

A friend of mine had her 40th birthday at the end of March and the party was canceled, too. Her wife asked us each to send a video, no longer than 60 seconds (in landscape mode rather than portrait, as that’s easier to edit) saying something that we love about the birthday gal. Her family edited the videos in iMovie and added music! They made a surprise movie night of it at home to virtually see the faces of loved ones gush with adoration and their bday wishes :-)

My birthday was last Friday and we had to stay in as well. I'm just planning on recreating the day when we are able to celebrate at a later time :)

Happy belated birthday! I'm sorry you had to be quarantined for your birthday, but hopefully that makes the future celebration THAT much better!!

Love this idea! I was actually thinking of possibly having family and friends send in short "Happy Birthday" videos so I can give him a little montage on his birthday - and it's sort of like his friends are all celebrating with us!

Could you "bring the weekend" into your home? I'm thinking recreating a baseball stadium in the house with hot dogs, beer, fan attire, and clips of his favorite team!

Cassy - I am in a very similar situation. My plan was to take my boyfriend to a Brazilian steakhouse followed by a Broadway show he really wants to see. I intend on doing that for him when the shelter-in-place is lifted. His birthday is on Saturday, and my plan now is to bake him a simple cake, probably a boxed mix, order in dinner and watch a movie. I rarely, if ever cook/bake, so it's something special and unexpected. He will get a birthday card possibly something small I can pick up the next time I go to the store, but a cake baked at home is the best I can do right now. I am sure whatever you decide to do will be great and appreciated!

So sorry your plans have to be postponed, but the night you have in mind for this weekend sounds incredible! I'm sure he will love it, too! Thanks for the inspo :)
