  From a trip to the spa to a romantic weekend getaway, there are several romantic ways to celebrate your wife's birthday. Use your wife's birthday as an opportunity to show her how much you love her and how much you care. Be creative and consider ideas that would make her happy on her birthday.

Romantic Evening

• If your wife enjoys bubble baths and chocolate-dipped fruits, try this romantic evening. Spread rose petals from your bedroom door to the bathtub. Have the bathtub filled with warm water, bubble bath, rose petals and maybe even a glass of Champagne. While she enjoys a nice long bath, scatter more rose petals to form a path to the bed. Spread rose petals all over the bed and carry in a tray of chocolate-dipped fruits to feed your wife. For extra romance, write her a poem, and read it to her while she is sipping on wine and eating her fruit. Dim the lights and burn candles in the bedroom.

Gift Hunt

• Hide all your wife's birthday gifts around the house and create a gift hunt for her to find them. Write down clues on a sheet of paper as to where each one of her gifts is hidden. She will have to figure out where her birthday gifts are by reading your clues. Hide a gift in the bathtub, and use a clue like "Somewhere you go to relax in warm water." Wrap the gifts so there is still suspense even after she finds each gift.

Picnic

• Find a quiet park and take your wife to enjoy a picnic. Pack a picnic basket with a bottle of wine, wine glasses, sandwiches, fruit and small snacks. Spread out a large blanket. Write your wife a letter about memories of you and her since you have been together. Make a small sign that says, "Lover's Lane," and put it up by the picnic basket. Take along a CD player and play romantic songs or songs from your wedding day.

Cabin Getaway

• Plan a romantic weekend getaway to a cabin. Check around your local area for cabins that you can rent for the weekend. Many of these offer romantic packages that include heart-shaped Jacuzzi tubs, bottles of bubbly, flowers, chocolates and fruit baskets. Some of the cabins are located near mountains, where the atmosphere is quiet, relaxed and offers beautiful scenery.
