My best friend is becoming 25 next month and I want celebrate his birthday in 25 funny ways for 25 days. Can you suggest some things I can do? He is someone who is shy and introverted and he loves chicken, chocolate, and sports (specially cricket). He even wants to discover himself and know more about his likings.
I can't provide for all 25 days, but I can give a few suggestions:
Step 1
Tickets to a cricket game.
Step 2
A chicken dinner.
Step 3
A chocolate fondue dessert.
Step 4
A piece of chocolate shaped like a chicken.
Step 5
Doing the chicken dance with him.
Day 1 - a dozen chicken eggs
Day 2 - A stuffed chicken holding a chocolate chicken
Day 3 - A KFC gift certificate
Day 4 - Chicken sandwiches for dinner
Day 5 - A box of See's candy
Day 6 - A bag of chicken flavored chips and a bottle of hot sauce to dip them in.
Day 7 - A homemade card expressing how you feel about your friendship. Tape a chocolate sucker inside from See's.

What can I gift my lover on his 25th birthday? I want to surprise him and want the gift to be something completely different.

A long time ago, when a boyfriend had a birthday I bought a bag of those little balloons to blow up and one of those mylar helium filled balloons. I blew up the small ones and let the helium one float in our bedroom. On the bed I had a gift bag with some silk boxers, a few CD's of music he loved, and a small stuffed teddy bear.
If you've been together a while and are willing to spend the money a trip is fun. Surprise him with a trip somewhere and don't tell him where you are going. I did this for my husband before we got married and I didn't even let him see the tickets when we checked in and I wouldn't let him look at the sign at the gate so he didn't know where we were going until the pilot announced it on the plane!
My son is turning 25 and still a kid at heart. I need fun party ideas. The food isn't a problem, just fun ideas.

What are his interests? If he likes music, a music theme would be good. Movies--an "Oscars" theme (Oriental Trading Company's website has movie-themed party goods).
I have a different party game idea. Get Twister, if you can find it.
If he's a kid at heart you will need lots of games. Check out that TV show, Minute to Win It. It has lots of easy games that can be easily replicated for home because they all use ordinary items.
My husband's 25th birthday is next month and I would like to do something special for him. He has never had a birthday party, even when he was a kid so I would like to give him a surprise birthday party.
You could hold a small gathering at your home? Look into having some 'in' and fun music on in the background. Set up a small bar with a selection of drinks and cocktails pre made in jugs. The party might seem boring but once he starts chatting to everyone and the drink gets flowing it will have a lovely atmosphere! You could look into getting little canapé selection (I don't know where you live but marks and Spencer's do really good ones!)
I am a female and I will be 25 next year in March. I want to throw a party at my place, but I want to do something different, crazy, and fun. Any suggestions? I am from a township.
