Premise

It’s Ziggy’s birthday, and everyone in LazyTown is excited to throw him a surprise party. When Stingy shows up with an empty box for a present, the kids do their best to find a way to make the present valuable by using their imagination. The kids learn the important lesson that it is better to give than to receive.

Plot synopsis

Prologue

Daytime, Sportacus is checking his calendar in the air ship. He realises that it is Ziggy's birthday. He takes Ziggy's large present out of a wall cabinet and prepares to finish wrapping it. He uses red ribbon which he wraps around the gift by executing a pommel horse gymnastic maneuver. When he is complete he says "Now that's how you wrap a gift!"

Main episode

Stephanie and Trixie are sitting on a park bench. Stephanie is busy writing a birthday song for Ziggy (Boogie Woogie Boo). She is playing the tune on a small pink banjo like instrument. She lets Trixie hear what she has written so far. When Trixie likes it then Stephanie writes the lines into her pink diary. Ziggy comes walking along and they hide what they are doing as his birthday party is a surprise. Ziggy notices them sitting on the bench and he acts nonchalant while wondering if they have remembered his birthday.

Trivia

• Ziggy's birthday is on the 14th day of the month, but which month is not clear. Chloe Lang, the actress who plays Stephanie has a birthday on November 14th.
• Ziggy's birthday was also celebrated in the episode "Happy Brush Day"
• The pommel horse maneuver that Sportacus uses to wrap Ziggy's gift is no difficulty for Magnús Scheving who was once a gymnastic champion.
• The box that Sportacus uses for Ziggy's gift must be fairly strong to hold his weight while doing his wrapping routine and a hand stand on top of it.
• Robbie's calendar has a picture of Stephanie played by Julianna Rose Mauriello despite that she is played by Chloe Lang in Season 3.
• Trixie's practical jokes seem to have been toned down this season. We don't see her doing as much naughty stuff as previous seasons.
• While pretending not to notice Ziggy, Trixie asks Stephanie what she had for lunch. Stephanie answers "Chicken". So Stephanie doesn't only eat SportsCandy all the time and is not a vegetarian.
