- A home-cooked meal. You know how much he or she loves to eat a particular meal, so cook it with a lot of love. Your mate will be thrilled to come home to their favorite meal and even more excited to have it served up with so much love. Turn down the lights; burn some scented candles, pour a nice glass of wine and play some of their favorite slow jams in the background. You’ll both be ready for a little dessert.
- A surprise purchase. Go out and buy her that tennis bracelet, red bottom shoes or a nice purse and for him, a nice set of golf clubs, an electronic gadget or an expensive watch? Watch his or her face light up. When you do something unselfish, without expecting anything in return, he or she will feel spoiled.
- Lingerie modeling. Ladies, how long has it been since you modeled some sexy lingerie for him? Remember when you first started dating and you did those private dances? Well, start doing them again and tell daddy to get his dollar bills ready. He will love it when you do this for him.
- Household chores. Guys, if your lady is the one responsible for the household chores — take over this responsibility on the weekend or hire a maid and send her to the spa for the day. This action will show her that you care about her well-being and will give you some brownie points.
- A romantic bubble bath. If you’ve never bathed together, now is a good time to prepare a nice, hot bubble bath surrounded by scented candles and a nice glass of champagne or two? Just the two of you … who knows where this may lead? Well, there’s only one sure way to find out.
- A foot massage. Don’t just give your mate a massage; give them the salon treatment at home. Draw a footbath in a tub of warm water. Slice up a lime, as it removes the dead skin and rub his or her feet with it. Use a scrub to rub his/her calves, which also exfoliates the skin. After you wipe off the scrub, finish with a nice body lotion. Now you’re ready to start massing their feet. Something as simple as this can make all the difference in the world. He or she will be your No. 1 fan.
- A nice hotel suite. When you want to surprise your mate and there is not enough time to plan a weekend getaway, book a luxurious suite at a posh hotel. The two of you will have a chance to spend the entire weekend in bed. You can watch movies, order room service, drink champagne and take a nice shower or bubble bath together. With no distractions, the two of you can focus on each other. One last reminder – make sure to hang the Do Not Disturb tag on the door. You don’t want any interruptions.
Again, pampering and spoiling your mate will let him or her know just how much you value them in your life and will undoubtedly improve your relationship. Have fun!
