If you are David Beckham and you want to give your wife a romantic birthday, a whirlwind trip to Paris is the only option.

To celebrate her turning 33, Victoria was whisked to the French capital for a 12-hour trip which cost £110,000.

They left their sons Brooklyn, eight, Romeo, four, and two-year-old Cruz with Beckham's mother Sandra.

Time to shop: David and Victoria hit the trendy Paris stores including Alaia and Colette

A girl can never have too many shoes

...Or too much jewellery

After arriving in Paris at about 4pm yesterday, the pair went shopping, looking at jewellery, cameras and - obviously - clothes.

They reportedly spent £70,000 at several shops in the trendy Marais district.

Beckham, 31, had spent weeks organising private sessions at the showrooms of designers including Christian Louboutin, where Posh snapped up a pair of made-to-measure heels for £1,500.

He then took her to one of her favourites, Azzedine Alaia to select a £7,000 dress.

Their suite at the Ritz, and hiring the renowned Guy Savoy restaurant so they could dine alone would have set Beckham back another £15,000. The Real Madrid star sprang the surprise trip after a training session with the Spanish club.

Victoria had only been expecting lunch in Madrid, but instead he drove her to the airport where he had spent £25,000 on a private jet.

A source said: "Victoria was overwhelmed. She thought she was going to have a Chinese meal with David and the boys."

After dinner the couple retired to their suite at 1am - but they were back at Paris's Bourget airport at 4am for the flight back to Madrid.
