Moonlight Sonata

  Most women appreciate a man's personal attention. Attend to your wife for her birthday. Ask a friend to take her out for a drink or for coffee. While she's out, order a catered dinner from her favorite restaurant. If weather permits, set a table decked with white tablecloth, china, crystal glasses, silverware, and a single white rose. Buy a dozen votive candles and candle holders. Make a trail of candlelight leading to her birthday dinner. Play her favorite music on a portable player.
  
  

Spa Spin

  For a sensual personal touch, give your wife a spa day. Create a luxurious spa experience at home. Give her a new white spa robe and slippers. Lay out fresh white Egyptian cotton towels and face cloths. Place candles around the bathroom and bedroom. Play soft relaxation music. Begin with a full body massage, complete with fragrant massage oil. Place a chair in front of the bathroom sink. Wash her hair, giving her a scalp massage. Let a facial mask do its work while she rests on soft pillows to gentle music. Set a tray with lavender soap, a loofah, and body lotion. While she is showering or bathing, prepare a light meal of cheese, fruit, crackers, and Godiva chocolates. Place a tray of food with a bottle of red wine and two glasses. When she emerges from the bath, join her in a delicious and relaxing meal for two in bed.
  
  

Amusement

  Take your wife on a birthday trip. If you live near the Pacific Ocean and her birthday falls during the whale migrations, take her to a seaside hotel. Watch the whales migrate while enjoying a beach picnic. If you live near a zoo, go to the zoo. Spend the day laughing at the animals, eating hot dogs and popcorn. Don't overdo, though. After the zoo, visit a restaurant where you have never eaten.
