A romantic surprise works wonders for making a relationship exciting again. No matter how big or small, there are plenty of cute ways you can surprise your lover.
If all else fails, how about a gift you know they’ll love? There are tons of ‘gifts for her’ and ‘gifts for him’ ideas out there. You just have to look in the right places.
But if you want to truly please them, be ultra-smooth and think outside the box…
1. Romantic weekend
There’s nothing more exciting than being whisked away on a surprise trip.
Whether it’s overseas like a romantic break to Paris – or somewhere a little closer to home like a short staycation, both are guaranteed ways to get hearts pumping.
You could even pack their bag for them and reveal the location at the airport. It’s all about the element of surprise!
2. Tick of their list of jobs
What’s the best way to get in your partner’s good books? Secretly tick off their long list of to-dos.
After a long stressful day at work, it’d be amazing to come home only to find out your partner has done all of your jobs for you. We know we’d love that.
3. Leave cute notes
Sometimes the smallest gestures matter most. So why not leave cute notes dotted around the house? A simple compliment can go a long way, especially when you’re least expecting it.
4. Write a love letter
Even go one step further by putting your feelings to paper. This is a particularly great idea if you’re notoriously bad at opening up.
Make it as smoochy as you like – no one else will read it! This is your chance to express just how much you love them.
5. Take interest in something they love
We’ve all got hobbies – so why don’t you try taking an interest in your partner’s? Chances are they’ll appreciate the effort you’re making to get involved, especially if you’ve been reluctant in the past. Step outside your comfort zone.
6. Bring on the bucket
Has your partner always wanted to skydive? Perhaps they want to learn the piano? Have they always wanted to visit a certain place in the world but never actually booked it up? These are the kinds of things you can organise for them as a surprise.
Ticking off your bucket list takes time and money, so stop their procrastination and make it happen yourself.
7. Relaxing spa day
We could all do with a treatment once in a while. We know they’d appreciate the downtime to unwind and recharge.
8. Home-cooked three-course meal
Pop on your apron and whip up some of your partner’s favourites. What better way to get to their heart than through their belly right? It’s all about making the effort.
Why not use a bunch of aphrodisiac ingredients too? Strawberries, oysters, champagne. Anything to spice things up!
