Surprise birthdays are truly special and can be heartwarming. It's lovely to hear that you'd like to both give and receive surprise birthdays. Your plan to surprise your mom next year is a wonderful gesture. The surprise birthday you organized for your friend during college shows how special these moments can be, even when faced with challenges like exams. I hope your wish for a sewing machine on your birthday comes true, creating your perfect celebration. 🎂🎉
