Boyfriend birthday

So.... I need help ladies! It’s my boyfriend’s birthday on 21st July. I really want to do something special for him because he deserves it. No one has ever made a fuss of him on his birthday before and last year we had just started dating so I didn’t plan anything for him, just a meal with him and his family. This year, I’m planning on having a surprise meal with all of his best friends. I’m going to tell him we’re going on a date and then his friends will be there when we arrive. I’m also going to either bake or buy a cake for him. I’ve also bought new lingerie to wear for him.😉

But what can I do in the day time??? Knowing my boyfriend he will want to stay in all day and cuddle and watch Netflix which is fine by me, but I also want to surprise him with more and be romantic. We don’t live together and I always go to his house. Any ideas???
