[For the Best Day Ever] Surprise Birthday Ideas (21–30)
A message from the box of sweets
Hiding a message card inside a snack is a great surprise because you can hand it over naturally without raising suspicion.
Simply open the package from a spot different from the main opening, slip the card in, and use double-sided tape to restore it so it looks unopened—easy, right? Just be careful: if the box looks warped, it’s more likely to give you away.
If a casually given snack contains a congratulatory message, the birthday person will probably feel twice the joy.
Give a surprise present through card magic
If you’re planning a surprise gift for someone special’s birthday, why not combine it with a bit of card magic? The unique presentation will surely amaze and move them! The idea is to produce the card that matches their birth date using card magic, and then reveal that a message and the hidden location of the gift are written on the back of the card.
It’s a jam-packed routine, but the key is stacking the cards in a specific order during the preparation stage.
By getting creative with how you arrange and display the cards, you can pull off this surprise without the other person catching on!
Locker Surprise
A surprise using a school locker is something you can only do at school, so the person being celebrated probably won’t see it coming.
If it’s a locker that no one else is likely to open, you can plan the surprise without it being discovered—highly recommended.
When they open it and see decorations or nostalgic photos, the birthday person will likely feel glad they spent their day at school.
However, lockers are private spaces, so be sure to consider your relationship and closeness with the friend before planning this.
Send a celebratory LINE message to everyone at once
Isn’t almost everyone keeping in touch with friends on LINE? Here’s a surprise idea: send a flood of celebratory LINE messages all at once.
The plan is to decide on a time in advance and have everyone send their congratulatory messages simultaneously.
If you send from individual chats, the screens will fill up with celebration messages, boosting the sense of happiness.
Try thinking up warm messages to send.
As a variation, you can also send stickers or gifts.
Celebrate with the star’s mask
Some people prefer surprises that pack a punch.
Here’s a suggestion: a surprise using a mask of the person you want to celebrate.
First, prepare a photo of them, enlarge it, and cut out the face.
Then reinforce it with cardboard to finish it as a mask.
Make lots of these, and if everyone wears one to celebrate, they’ll be truly stunned.
The bold look will also pop in commemorative photos.
Start by choosing a great photo of their face.
A gift of 100 lists

Why not give a heartfelt gift: a list of 100 messages that resonate with someone special who’s always by your side? Bind 100 cards with a ring and let them flip through each one as you express your love and gratitude—a delightful surprise.
Just imagining 100 things you love about them—from “what makes you cool” to “how hard you work”—is exciting in itself.
Share words that showcase unique ideas and personal touches.
Write a final message on the last card and give a gift that will become a cherished memory.

We’ve introduced some recommended surprise ideas for birthdays.
