Although
it seems by stereotype that men are notoriously forgetful of
anniversaries and women seem very much the opposite, if you are a
couple, an anniversary is indeed a milestone worth celebrating. You can
take the opportunity to show your partner how much you love him/her, and
more importantly, value him/her. Relationships are not something
automatic. Even if you love each other very much, there still are some
things you have to work on nurturing. It can be a task thinking up
someway to make it special, more special than the routine dinner date.
These top ten ideas may be of help.
01. A Nighttime picnic
This could be a romantic
experience past comparison. You just have to find a suitable spot with a
beautiful view. Pack the picnic basket full of special goodies like
chocolates, wine, champagne, hot chocolate, cookies and other ‘romantic’
food. Let the locale handle the rest. 09 more after the break...
02. Cook them Dinner
Cooking a person dinner makes for
superb brownie points. Set the atmosphere. Place lit candles on the
table, and decorate the room with flowers, play romantic songs on the
stereo, scatter rose petals. These set the mood and heighten
anticipation.
03. Recreating Fond Memories
If you have a special day or time
that you both remember, such as where you had your first date, or
something relevant, you can try and reawaken fond memories by recreating
the experiences. Take her or him to the place you met, concentrate on
getting the details right, such as the music playing, the food you ate,
the table you sat, the car you came in, all of that. Your partner will
know how much thought you put in the matter.
04. Surprise getaways
Plan a surprise weekend getaway
to somewhere nice, and do not let her or him know until the last minute.
Make sure you respect any commitments she or he may have regarding work
etc, and book every thing in advance. Take her on a seemingly ordinary
long drive, which ends up at the airport, and surprise her with the trip
to the romantic destination.
05. Romantic Scrapbooks or Photo Albums
Making
Scrapbooks or collages is another way of recreating fond memories from
your time together. Collect all the photos you may have of special and
memorable occasions. You can spring it on her when you are done, or
spend a quiet afternoon making it together. The cherished memories that
will awaken will be the objective here.
06. A Visit to childhood neighborhood
Consider taking your partner to
the neighborhood where they grew up. The old home, the school and other
locations will flood in a multitude of precious memories that they can
then share with you.
07. Surprise him or her at work
Show up where your partner works
with a huge bouquet of flowers or over sized box filled with chocolates.
Present it to her or him with everyone watching, and proclaim your love
for him or her. Of course, this could backfire if he or she is easily
embarrassed by public attention.
08. Deck your home up
Give your home a makeover as a
surprise. Clean up stuff, make romantic additions like soft silk
fabrics, scented candles, romantic music, rose petals everywhere. You
can invite him or her to lie down and have a sensual massage.
09. Photo shoot
Find a good photographer, and go
on a romantic photo shot as a couple. Some sensuality in the pictures
wouldn’t be out of place here. It is also possible to opt for a
photographer to follow you around discretely at a suitable park or some
such location and click candid photos of both of you as a couple.
10. Love Coupons
Love
coupons are a flirty and really fun way of saying things. Print a big
batch or two, you can make them yourself or professionally. You can
print whatever romantic gesture you want.
