Birthday Surprise

Ok, here's how to plan surprises for individual without arousing their suspicions. First, set a date where they would least expect. For instance, get their birthdate wrong (which is not advisable!). After setting a date, make it look like it is an outing/a time for catch-up. Basically, you don't want them to suspect anything! After the date has been set, gather a pool of friends and start planning!! When executing the surprise, just enjoy the entire process!!! I simply love planning surprises!!! Who doesn't like surprises?!

Anyway, Claudia and I planned a little birthday surprise for Serene since I will be away on her birthday. Her present(s) were the toughest as we only thought of what to give her the day before we were meeting. As Serene is a very practical person, thinking of a practical gift did not come instantly. However, while Claudia and I were texting each other, it dawned on Claud to give Serene a plant for her birthday and toilet paper. :) As we continued texting, we began formalising a plan. It was decided that we will surprise Serene by giving her the toilet paper at work. After that at dinner, we will give her the plant and muffins spelling her name to end the night!
