<human>: Asked this over at Ask Men, but thought this subreddit might be a good spot, too? Sorry if I'm wrong!

I'm 20 (F) and he's turning 25 soon, and we've been dating for almost a year. This is the longest relationship I've ever been in, and the first real time celebrating a boyfriend's birthday, so I'm a bit over my head here.

I want to do something really nice because he went to a lot of trouble for my birthday back when we started dating.

I bought him a [facehugger stuffie] (huge Aliens fan) and I'm going to do a painting that he hinted at wanting, as well as pick up a little sexy outfit...

But I want to do something, too. I'm going to ask him if there's anything he wants to do, but I just know he's going to leave it up to me.

So, I was thinking of arranging getting the house to myself (living with my folks while I finish school) and making him a really nice dinner. We have a running joke about about how I apparently can't cook when really I just don't like to, so I think if I made a really good dinner it would be a nice surprise.

Also plan on getting a friend to help me make a cake for him.

I'm at a bit of a loss as to what else I could do, though, other than the obvious sexual things which will come later.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
