Tom Cruise threw a corker of a surprise treat for the Beckhams as a joint birthday present - a luxury wine tasting trip.
David had been in touch with the Mission Impossible actor over ideas for Victoria's 34th birthday.
Tom offered his private jet and recommended a trip to a friend's vineyard in Napa Valley, California.

But when the Beckhams got to LAX airport, it turned into a surprise party.
Tom and wife Katie Holmes were waiting on board. And so were new LA pals Heidi Klum, Seal, Kate Beckinsale and Len Wiseman. The A-listers set a course for the Napa Valley for a tour of the vineyards then had dinner cooked by the private chef.
A friend of the Beckhams told me: "They were expecting a quiet trip for two, but Tom secretly laid on the trip for Victoria's birthday last weekend and David's on Friday. They waited in the jet with cake and champers!"
La Galaxy may not be top of the league, but the Beckhams have netted some cool mates.
There was lots on display at the British Soap Awards last night - and there was nearly a lot more after Roxanne Pallett suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.
The Emmerdale actress's dress snapped undone as she was midway down the red carpet at the BBC TV Centre in West London.
She was forced to beg an autograph hunter to do it up.
Hollyoaks was the big winner of the night - picking up six gongs including Sexiest Actress for Roxanne McKee.
But EastEnders bagged the prestigious Best Soap Award and Best Storyline for Max and Stacey's affair.
The event - hosted by Fern Britton and Phillip Schofield - has become one of the most glamorous in the showbiz diary.
Here's my pick of the winners and losers...
THE WINNERS
Best Soap: EastEnders
Best Actor: Chris Fountain (Hollyoaks' Justin)
Best Actress: Emma Rigby (Hollyoaks' Hannah)
Sexiest Male: Rob James Collier (Corrie's Liam)
Sexiest Female: Roxanne McKee (Hollyoaks' Louise)
Best Villain: Jack P. Shepherd (Corrie's David)
Best Storyline: Max & Stacey's EastEnders affair
Life Achievement: Liz Dawn (Vera Duckworth, Corrie)
Lily Allen (Pic:Goff)
Lily Allen was all smiles in her wedding style dress at her 23rd birthday do at London's Claridges. Mind you, she had kissed James Corden the night before.
Wayne Rooney's feeling horny - horny, horny, horny. The Man U striker's hired Nikki Belle to DJ at the June 12 wedding. She and Mouse T had a hit in '98 with I'm Horny. I'd rather have a slow number if a lucky dude gets me down the aisle...
Can't wait for the Sex and The City movie, out a week tomorow. Geri Halliwell is so excited she gushed: "I LOVE Carrie. I'm really like her in the way I analyse, and I have the hair and the prom dresses." Earth to Geri - Carrie is a fictional character, love.
Mark Ronson is taking new girl Daisy Lowe, 19, to Paris. I was sceptical (and jealous!) to hear she'd pulled the hitmaker. But he wants a Eurostar ticket for Daisy when he plays with Duran Duran at July's Smirnoff Experience festival. Knowing she's pulled Ronson, 32, is an, erm, Lowe blow.
Grace Jones: Backed out of a gig at the last minute after a pay dispute.
Celebrities writing kids books: Jordan, Geri Halliwell - who next?
The Ting Tings: Loving their catchy tune That's not my Name. Ex-Streets singer Leo Ihenacho's new single, Indecent Proposal.
