Make a screen saver out of a photo, a special note, or meaningful doodle made by your sweetie. Or, take a picture of the two of you together and surprise her by putting it right on her computer. Change it every month with a seasonal message. And, of course, give her a special screen for the big days-your anniversary and her birthday.
Head to the library or bookstore to find books of love sonnets and early writings on romance (reference librarians can be very helpful if you are at a loss). Yup, it can be beautifully corny stuff, but its fun to see what others have written about love through the ages. Take turns reading to each other with appropriate accents and improvised costumes whenever possible. Spend a little time as a romantic sop swept off his feet crooning by the light of the moon.
Make your sweethearts favorite meal. From cooking to cleaning up, do everything. And, by all means, set a beautiful table and wait on her as if you were at a five-star restaurant. If the service and food are good, you might get a really good tip.
Hide a photograph or something that will evoke an intimate memory in your loves lunchbox, briefcase, personal calendar-anywhere! A loving photo in his jacket pocket found at the right (or wrong) moment can really shift a mood. The discovery of it will be amusingly out of context.
Often the best expression of your affection is just your full and loving attention with your mouth shut. In a quiet moment when theres time to listen, ask your partner powerful questions like What really matters to you right now? or What inside of you needs attention? and really listen to the answer. You may even notice something under the surface that could use more attention and offer it, either at that moment or at another time. This is how she really knows you care.
If you dont already know, do a little detective work and find out what your sweeties favorite childrens book is. Track it down (more detective work, since some classics are out of print) and present it as a particularly timely gift for a special non-occasion: a moment when he may be weary from the pressures of being an adult.
Leave little messages, thoughts, quotes, or romantic poems in everyday places like a jacket pocket, wrapped into the paper towel roll, or in between the pages of a book hes reading. Or, for a little more surprise, tie them to the most mundane objects. A love note attached to the can of shaving cream, or hidden in the newspaper, or taped to the steering wheel or rearview mirror, or an e-mail or IM sent in the middle of an important meeting-a romantic message in any unlikely time or place is sure to make your sweetheart smile.
Make a relationship almanac. In a notebook, album, or on your computer, record anything youve enjoyed together. Include labels from your favorite wines, cards from great B&Bs, sky-lift tickets, the ticket stub from the Rolling Stones concert. In addition, record friends birthdays and dates of significant events in your relationship like the close encounter with a bear at Yosemite. Its more than a scrapbook to enjoy together. Its also a reference for those things from the past you might just want to repeat again one day.
Games of trust and silent communication can be very intimate. In this game, one person is blindfolded or keeps his eyes closed while the other leads him around by the arm. Take a little walk outside stopping to bring something yummy to your blindfolded partners nose, hands, or face. It will not only build trust but will open both of your senses to a luscious world.
In another game, both of you sit or stand face-to-face with your eyes closed. Place your hands palm-to-palm and begin moving while staying in contact. Eventually, your contact may shift from palms to elbows to backs to who knows where. After a while, find your way back to your palms and open your eyes. Make up your own games together.
This one is hard. If there is something your sweetheart has been wanting you to get rid of for the longest time (the torn T-shirt from 1976, the strange pair of shoes you got for your best friends wedding, or that ratty old toothbrush he thinks might be a health hazard), wrap it up as a gift and give it up. Its that simple. You could perform a final fashion show of the offending items before you both stick them in the Goodwill box. There may also be some habits your partner doesnt appreciate, like checking your Blackberry at dinner. Make changing that habit a gift to her and announce it with a card. Its more important to show you are willing to make compromises than to hold on to some things. Besides, you may both be better off in the end.
Give special attention to your romantic life by buying a book on sensual pleasure. Or, you can go to a workshop or class for couples that invites you to learn more about each other and become even more intimate together. Dont worry, youre not suggesting theres anything missing in that department, just that it can always get better.
Create a folder on your computer for your sweetie. As you come across interesting articles, great tunes, and enticing restaurant reviews, add them to it. Capture all the passing references she makes to things she wants to know about, see, or do and keep your eyes open for opportunities. You can add book titles, job announcements, great jokes, movie schedules, and anything else you think might be of interest. Your growing file will be another nice way of showing that you think about her and her interests.
Fill your honeys fridge and cupboards with wonderful goodies. Its especially nice to come home from a trip and find something to drink and eat in the fridge, as well as some staples in the cupboard, in case shopping doesnt get done that first day back. Keep track of her favorite food and next time theres a sale fill a whole shelf in her pantry. While youre filling the fridge, you might notice a few science experiments growing there. Do her a favor and set them free. It will be easier for her to enjoy the goodies if the smell of moldy cottage cheese isnt making her sick.
In every relationship, unspoken annoyances accumulate and if theyre not handled, they can become big deals or even toxic grudges. Make a list of the things that bug you about your sweetie. Then make a list of the things you love about her. Now, go through the first list and look carefully at what you can genuinely let go of. Then, let go of them. Really. You can let her know, or not. Either way, youve given a big gift to the relationship. As for the rest of the listthats for another deck.
Prepare a room for a massage with clean sheets, soft music, and a scented lotion or oil. If you dont have a lot of time, just a foot, hand, or face massage is a lovely gift. If you feel like you have ten thumbs then just remember, loving touch isnt just for professionals-offer to scratch your sweeties back or polish her toenails (be sure to see Bull Durham for ideas). And if youre feeling ambitious, check out a how-to book on massage. You might even pack a little care basket with oil, a relaxing CD, a how-to book, and a clean towel that you could keep handy for special occasions. Focus less on the how-to which makes you think theres a right way, and more on a loving touch, including toenail polishing, or just back scratching.
