But you want to be surprised *about* the surprise. Hmmm. That's ... surprising. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-a-surprise-birthday-present-or-do-you-like-to-know-what-youre-getting#post-726943 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 19:02:19 +0000 hilsy85 726943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: THIS. I love being surprised, but if I have an inkling that there is a surprise coming, or if I get any hints on what it is, I go crazy trying to figure it out and it takes away some of the enjoyment for me. I'm too curious for my own good! Luckily Dh is really good at coming up with really surprising surprises! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-a-surprise-birthday-present-or-do-you-like-to-know-what-youre-getting#post-726916 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:57:18 +0000 lovehoneybee 726916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like being surprised but only if I don't know there's a surprise coming. DH told me a few days ago that he had plans for my birthday (well, for this weekend, when he's not working) and then asked if I wanted to know. It made me crazy because I want to be legit surprised....I don't like the anticipation of waiting for it (says the gal that was Team Green...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-a-surprise-birthday-present-or-do-you-like-to-know-what-youre-getting#post-726913 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:56:49 +0000 Dandelion 726913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like surprises, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-a-surprise-birthday-present-or-do-you-like-to-know-what-youre-getting#post-726912 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:56:43 +0000 jmarionsmith 726912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Surprises. DH knows better than to even ask me what I want. What's the point if he doesn't have to put any thought into it?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-a-surprise-birthday-present-or-do-you-like-to-know-what-youre-getting#post-726906 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:55:33 +0000 Bao 726906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like surprises! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-a-surprise-birthday-present-or-do-you-like-to-know-what-youre-getting#post-726903 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:54:53 +0000 apis 726903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DW's birthday is coming up and this year I had a very specific idea what she wanted, and so I mentioned it so we can go to the shop and let her try on a few different versions, to pick the one that suits her best. I know some SOs prefer to be surprised on their birthday, though. What's your preference? </p>
