Identify his interests. Whether he prefers the outdoors or a weekend of pampering and luxury, pinpoint what he prefers doing in his free time and center a weekend around that activity. Plan a budget and choose activities and places based on cost and proximity. Research hotels, rental cars, dining options and location to know what to expect and choose the best option.
Book your weekend. Do this when he is not home and hide all the evidence to maintain your secret. Book the hotel, car and activities. If you are hiking or planning an outdoor activity, reserve your equipment before you leave. If you hope to have a fancy dinner, spa or couples massage, make plans early so you do not scramble upon your arrival.
Present your weekend getaway creatively. Place the itinerary in a card and hide it in his gym bag or brief case so he will find it during the course of his day. Have a coworker place it on his desk or in a file that he opens constantly. Plan a scavenger hunt through your house and backyard with the itinerary concealed in the final location. Wrap the itinerary in multiple boxes so he unwraps each box individually leading to the smallest box with your trip plans.
