Ten ways to surprise that special someone

Who does not like good surprises! Finding something lovely when you least expect it is most certainly a pleasant feeling. To know that someone has taken particular efforts to plan something just to make you feel special, just to bring a smile on your face, isn’t that the best feeling in the world? To love and be loved and appreciated in return is definitely one of the most heartfelt desires.

Do you have someone that you love dearly but don’t appreciate often, don’t tell him or her how special he or she is? People tend to take things that closest to their heart for granted. So if you think you have been taking that person for granted, or you feel the need to make him/her special just because they matter to you or it could be just that you think you need a little zing in your monotonous routine life, just express your love in your own way and surprise your other half!

Here are some ways to surprise your loved one

Flowers/chocolates - it’s probably the most common way of expressing affection. Send flowers or chocolates to your loved one when they are away from you, when the least expect it. It will surely bring a smile to their face.

Text - When he or she is at work, give him/her a call or send a text saying ‘i miss you’ or ‘i love you’. Say something sweet that you haven’t said in a while. That will surely touch their heart and make them feel loved.

Cook dinner - cook a meal for your loved one. Prepare the dishes that they love or something they wanted to eat for quite some time but didn’t get the chance. Show that you know and care for their likes, their wishes even the small ones. This one will definitely earn you a smile and a hug.

Massage - When your special one comes home after a long, tiring day, prepare a nice, hot bath for him/her. Indulge him or her with a back massage or leg massage. Make them feel pampered and loved.

Date - Surprise your dearest with a date. Arrange for a dinner, a long drive, or a walk on the beach with him or her. Remind them of the old dates and tell them how they are as special to you now as they were before, if not more.

Make something - Make a small gift or a card for him or her. It could be a craft, an origami, anything that you have made yourself, that shows your love and dedication for the other person. Wrap the present and put it in their car or work bag, so they’ll be pleasantly surprised to find it.

Compile pictures - Collect all the pictures of you both together and create a collage, an album or a CD. You could also frame it and hang it on a wall. This will express how much the memories you both have shared mean to you.
Love notes- make small love notes, with short messages of love and leave them at unexpected places, like in their wallet, near their toothbrush, in pockets, among the clothes. So each time the other person finds a note, it will warm their heart, bring a smile to their face.

Plan a trip - Plan a surprise trip to a destination that your darling always wanted to visit. This will make him/her feel loved and valued.

Propose - Very clichéd but still effective. Propose to your sweetheart, even if you are already married to each other. Tell him/her how much you love him/her and what he/she means to you. That even if you were given another life, you would want to spend it with him/her.
