Surprise box
Didn’t you read pop-up books when you were a child? Let’s make a pop-up gift box that feels like one of those books squeezed into a box.
The box has multiple layers, and when you open it, it unfolds with a flutter.
Attach envelopes and clips inside to tuck in letters or slip in photos.
And place a gift on the base in the center.
Cut and paste freely like a collage and show off your sense of style!
Celebrate with a game theme
Get together with friends and play a party game! Draw a slip of paper from a box and pretend to explain the difficult word written on it as if you know it.
The person who gives the best explanation wins… This rule is used for a birthday surprise idea.
When it’s your turn and you draw a slip, what’s written there is a celebratory message.
The more into the game you are, the more surprised you’ll be.
If you want it to look completely natural, the key is to play the game normally at first.
Only a letter as a birthday present
https://www.tiktok.com/@ari_kazu/video/7107564562290937089As your birthday approaches and you start wondering, “What kind of present will I get?”, the excitement builds—especially if you have a significant other.
You might think, “We talked about how I wanted that thing back then, so maybe it’s that?” Now, here’s a surprise idea: despite all the possible gifts that come to mind, the only thing you receive is a letter.
You might even get that “I mean… I am happy, but!?” kind of reaction.
It’s a slightly mischievous idea.
Just make sure you’ve also prepared the real present!

Surprises all day
Even a single surprise can make you really happy, but wouldn’t it be all the more moving if surprises kept coming throughout your birthday? Planning a trip without revealing the destination and setting up various surprises along the way is fun for the giver, too.
Preparing while imagining someone’s delighted face is such a joyful feeling! It’s sure to be a birthday they’ll remember for a lifetime.
Definitely give it a try!
A prank where we “don’t celebrate” the birthday
You know those common pranks where a cake suddenly appears on someone’s birthday or they’re made to clear a game and then get a birthday present? This is the opposite: it looks like a surprise birthday celebration, but it turns out to be just a game and there’s no birthday celebration—just a prank.
You might even leave birthday decorations out in plain sight so they’ll pretend not to notice the surprise, right? It’s a slightly mischievous surprise idea where you enjoy watching their reaction.
But make sure to celebrate them properly in a big way afterward!
A surprise present in a ‘What’s in the box?’ game!
The classic recreation game “What’s in the Box?” You often see it on TV variety shows.
Players put their hands in from both sides of a box and try to guess what’s inside using only their sense of touch.
This time, though, how about turning it into a birthday surprise by putting a present inside the box? Start by playing it as a regular quiz, and after a few rounds, slip the gift into the box.
Just when they think it’s still part of the game, they discover a present—an unexpected and delightful surprise.
Celebrate without the person noticing

♪ Original song – hi7_.06 – Hinapi
Try a chic birthday surprise! Without the person noticing, display your celebratory message on your phone one character at a time and record a video.
Edit all the clips together and show it to them at the end! You’ll have a gift that makes them say, “When did you film this!?” The key to the staging is how close you can bring your phone—sidle up behind them or slip your body in between as a shield.
They might suddenly turn around, so while acting completely normal, keep a close eye on their movements!
