1. Framed Photo

In today’s world you can’t do anything or go anywhere without snapping a photo of you doing it, so why not put those photos to good use? Find a favorite photo of the two of you and put it in a nice picture frame.

Can’t decide on only one picture? Go the extra mile and create a photo album for her. The thought and sentiment you put into finding the photos from over the years and taking the time to create a personalized album for her to cherish for years to come will make her swoon.

2. Make Her a Meal

As nice as taking your girl out to a restaurant for dinner is, a homecooked meal is much more appreciated. You may not be the best cook in the neighborhood, but it doesn’t matter what put on the table as long as there are candles and a nice tablecloth. Whether you cook breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the sentiment is the same, especially if you surprise her with the meal.

If you’re nervous about cooking by yourself, plan a night to cook a meal together. It’s a great way to spend some quality time together and let her taste your cooking skills. Cook something in the shape of a heart to show her you love her!

3. Her Favorite Book

If your lady is a book-lover, pick up a copy of her favorite book, or one she’s been meaning to read. It shows you know what her interests are and gives her a chance to sit down, relax, and enjoy a good read.

4. Handwritten Love Letter or Poem

In a world where all communication is through emails or texting, nothing is more romantic than a handwritten love letter, poem, or song. Take some time to write her a note and stick it in her lunch or favorite jacket pocket.

If you aren’t one for words, a simple reminder to have a great day or that you love her will put a smile on her face.

5. Mixed CD/Playlist

We may not be in the 80’s anymore, but mixed CDs are still a popular gift to give. Include a list of songs that have meaning to your relationship or ones which remind you of her.

Add a personal message she can listen to again and again. Another option is to create a playlist instead of a CD. She can listen to this anywhere and anytime she’s thinking of you.

6. Chore Takeover

If you live together, who does the majority of the cleaning in the household? It’s most likely her. Give her a day of rest and relaxation with a chore takeover.

Draw her a bubble bath or send her out shopping. While she’s gone, clean the house by vacuuming, doing the dishes, and folding the laundry. She’ll come home to a fresh, clean house feeling stress-free.

7. Plan a Surprise Party

If there’s a special occasion coming up like her birthday, job promotion, or graduation, a surprise party is a perfect way to celebrate.

Invite all her friends and family, plus some of your own. Make sure this is something she’ll enjoy – if your girlfriend is more shy or introverted, you should consider a different way to celebrate.

8. Bouquet of Flowers

Surprising your girlfriend with a bouquet of flowers is a classic for a reason. Visit your local downtown flower shop and pick out her favorite flavors. Add a sweet message and watch as her face lights up when you hand them to her.
