Concert tix...to surprise or not to surprise?


Question Posted Tuesday May 19 2009, 5:48 pm

We're 21/f (me) and 23/m (him).
This is kinda random, I'm just looking for a few responses.

My guy and I have been through some hard times. He's had both physical and psychological difficulties, and he's just starting to come out of them. I'm having financial difficulties, but I decided that I was going to buy a pair of lawn seats for the Incubus concert coming up in July.

My initial idea was to tell him on the day of the concert to be ready by like, six or so, and that I had a surprise for him, then blindfold him when he gets into my car and drive him to the concert.

Problem is, it's about three weeks after his birthday...Because I'm so financially stretched right now, I don't think I'm gonna be able to actually get something to give him on that day. I've made him presents in the past - stuffed animals, portraits of his deceased cats, etc - but I'm running out of ideas now. We've been on and off for nearly four years. We just got back together in February, and our relationship is amazing for the first time.

Anyway, if I go through with my plan to blindfold and totally surprise him, I risk looking like a bitch for three weeks. I thought about giving him his ticket for his birthday, but the blindfolding thing sounds like it'd be a much better present.

I dunno. How would you react if your girlfriend of four years gave you nothing on your birthday? What if she told you you had to wait three weeks for your present instead?

Ideas?

Give him a little note card that says..."To receive your gift, redeem in one week."

When the week is over he redeems his card...you give him a blindfold in a small box with another note, that says..."More to come, redeem in one week."

Week two, he redeems his card and gets another little gift (cd of the band your going to see?) with another card with instructions....

Instructions: Play cd and think of me. Redeem this card next week. Warning! There will be no redemption without blindfold!

Anyway, that's my idea.
