call a nice spa in your area and ask them if they are known for a specific treatment. One thing i LOVE is the Hot stone massage.
i would think a nice massage and then the other stuff would be perfect.
Facial
massage
mani-pedi
make-up
hair style (perhaps?)
that will be the perfect amount of time to get her to relax and enjoy the rest of the evening.

and, trust me, she will *feel* sexy with = 😀 for you!
 
Wow, you must make good money and/or are a good bf. The stuff you seem to be doing so far is really cool. Keep it up.

screw a spa....do it yourself...its MUCH more romantic...or see if the spa that you lookinto has massage lessons, that you can learn how to massage her back neck etc etc...my girlfriend and i went on a cruise and we did a team teach massasge class, we didnt really learn anything new, but it was really nice to be massasged by the one you love and not some really random weird person you dont know.

just my thoughts, i know i'd rather spend time with my girlfriend on her bday, rather then just send her away for the day and do a dinner :-\

my vote would be have her over for dinner (can you cook)?

after dinner a nice relaxing massasge, then a nice hot bath...then bed 😉

Yeah i did think about that...i was thinking i would send her while i was at work, and then come home and do the other stuff...
 
Take her to the park or a nice dinner for starters....

For gifts, flowers are good.
Chicks like sappy stuff....make her a coupon book with all kinds of coupons good for stuff. My gf got me one of these...it was pretty cool. Get creative. Buy a basket and fill it with a bunch of small items and individually wrap each one. Make a trip to Bath and Body works and get some massage oil while you're there. (about $22) I recommend the Jasmine-Vanilla.

I'm sure you'll have no trouble coming up with some other small items she might want/need.
Ohh yeah, check into foot rubs too...they sell those things and all you need is a tub of warm water so her feet can soak. My gf loves those.
 
Set up a nice romantic dinner for two at a classy candle lit restaurant and buy her a nice ring or neclace w/ diamonds.
 
Wanted to stray away from jewelry this time...got her a ring and a braclet already...from baily banks and biddle...it was pretty nice.

How about a dress. Seems like alot of the women in here seem to think a dress is a great thing for a guy to buy. Any comments women? There was a thread on it yesterday.
 
I dont know how partial to shopping for clothing for my girlfriend i am....i can barely stand to shop for myself and she does it half the time.
 
capture 100 butterflies and release them in the morning before she wakes up. then take a video clip of it. hilarity ensues.

haha...shed freak out se hates bugs...and would end up with her crying for sure
 
There aren't enough guys like you in the world. Sounds like you've been taking care of her and just ran out of ideas. I liked the day spa thing.
 
can you afford one night at a really nice hotel in your area?
that is always nice.

If you can, check in early and spread rose petals and put candles everywhere. order a nice meal from room service too. just enjoy her company and have fun!

there is something fun and almost exciting about being in a nice hotel and feeling papered!
you can also tweak this idea to your liking!
