So yesterday was my wonderful boyfriend’s birthday. As he normally stays round mine all the time I thought it would be nice to be somewhere different for the night. I searched high and low on Airbnb to try and find a place for us. Not only was there a very limited amount of places due to where I live, but I had to contact a lot of the hosts to see if it was possible to stay for one night (majority of them were a two night minimum stay) but I also had to try and find somewhere that will let me check in about eight in the morning to decorate the place before he arrives haha. But cut the long story short, I found a lovely place for us to stay and everything went to plan.
I didn’t get to celebrate his birthday last year, so I knew for a fact that I wanted to go to the extreme and make it extra special for him. Whilst browsing on Pinterest and Tumblr, I’ve seen pictures of those tissue paper pom poms and big happy birthday balloons banners, so of course, that gave me the idea to recreate it for Eli and that is what I did. I will leave all the links at the bottom if you want to buy the decorations for anything. I hunted for all the best/low prices I could possibly get.
We went for a lovely little walk and explored a little bit. We then went back to the little flat I decorated, snuggled up on the sofa with the duvet and watched a film. Later that evening, we went out for a gorgeous meal. We then walked back and watched The Great British Bake off whilst eating more food. It doesn’t sound like we did much but spending the whole day together, just us two and doing small things like going for a walk or watching GBBO, really made the day perfect.

The big 1 and 9 balloons I got inflated with helium in Clintons because they were the cheapest to inflate balloons with helium that are not bought from their store. The small white and silver ones I just blow up with a small balloon pump/my mouth haha and then the happy birthday balloon banner comes with a little straw that you poke through the bottom and blow it up and they then self seal! xx
