Men actually love surprises, even though some of them will pretend they don't. 😂 I can remember the first year of our marriage. I surprised my husband with breakfast in bed on his birthday. Omo, this man was so happy! He was blushing and genuinely excited. But after everything, he told me, "You shouldn't be doing this. 😂 I said, "Okay, sir." The second year, I didn't do much, but I made sure he had a special meal. I always try to make very good meals for him on his birthdays. Then came the years he travelled out of the country. Things weren't easy financially, and there was no room for any elaborate birthday plans. Fast-forward to our fouth year of marriage. I still didn't have money. I was looking for a job, and the businesses I tried starting weren't working. I'm still a stay-at-home mum looking for work, by the way. If you know anyone looking to employ someone, please recommend me. I would genuinely appreciate it. Anyway, I wanted to do something special for my husband with my own personal savings. Not the money he gives me for upkeep. I wanted to do this with money I had saved myself. So I called his friend who was with him abroad and asked him to find out how much a birthday cake would cost. Omo! Exchange rate, na your mates 😭😂 I told him I still wanted to do something for my husband and asked what else I could get him. He mentioned a particular brand of sardine my husband loves, bananas and some other things he enjoys. I said, perfect! Please help me get them and package everything nicely. After calculating the cost, everything, it was something I could afford. And before someone asks why I didn't use the money my husband gives me, let me explain. I know my husband. If I had spent more than that on a birthday surprise, he would have been very angry with me. 😂 The guy bought everything, packaged it beautifully and sent me pictures. I kept quiet and waited for his birthday. Now, my husband is the kind of person who can be celebrating his birthday and, if you are around him, you wouldn't even know. He doesn't announce it, he doesn't post about it, nothing! So imagine his surprise when his friend woke up that morning and wished him a happy birthday. He was wondering how the guy even knew. Then the friend presented the package and told him it was from his wife. According to his friend, my husband almost cried. He called me immediately. When did you plan this? How did you get this guy's number? How did you arrange all of this?" Questions upon questions! 😂 Then came the big one: "How much did you spend?" I told him to calm down. I wanted to do more, but I knew he would be angry if I spent beyond my means. He started asking where I got the money from and reminding me that there were things I could have used that money to buy for the children, take care of myself and other responsibilities. But that wasn't even the point for me. I just wanted him to know that I remembered his day. I wanted him to feel special. I wanted him to know that even though he doesn't make a big deal out of his birthday, somebody is happy that he was born. And honestly, this is something I would continue doing whenever I can afford it, even if all I have is a little. I would buy my husband flowers. I would buy him cakes. I would find ways to surprise him. Men deserve to be pampered too. It's not always women, get cakes and flowers for them. Some of these men are just waiting for somebody to make them feel special. Surprises are not only for women. Men love them too! ❤️
