In fairy tales, fearsome dragons and evil wizards often stand in the way of the main characters’ “happily ever after.” And although in reality they, fortunately, do not exist, romantic relationships have no less insidious enemies - such as boredom and habit.
Do not underestimate them: they are quite capable of extinguishing the flame of even a very bright passion. But everything is not so hopeless - you can always throw a few fresh logs into the fire of your love, and it will flare up with renewed vigor.
One easy way to do this is to organize a surprise for your beloved guy. Below we will suggest some unusual and effective ideas.
A surprise for a man for no reason - what can you give?
Start with the simplest thing - buying something useful and interesting for your loved one:
- Freelancer. Is it difficult to get a man out of the house due to his constant employment? Organize a quest game in your own apartment with several text clues. Write on the notes places that bring back pleasant memories of your life together to your beloved man. The end game could be either something useful in his work or his girlfriend in an intriguing image.
- To the fan. Buy tickets to his favorite football team's game. Join the company and double surprise your husband or give him the opportunity to go with a friend. If your husband likes sports programs, subscribe to a package of sports programs on cable TV. Before every time he watches TV, your husband will remember you.
- Thrill seeker. There are plenty of entertainment options that raise your adrenaline level. Paragliding, traveling on ATVs, horse riding or go-karting – a certificate for one of these types of entertainment will bring a bit of extreme sports into your relationship.
Only you know what kind of surprise your partner will appreciate.
If he is far from home
There are two simple ways to please your loved one during his absence:
- Record a video. Record a video on your phone of yourself playing the guitar or another musical instrument that is within your control. Film an erotic dance that will warm up his feelings. A poem you created about how you are waiting for your loved one to come home is also a great option. Send the gift in private messages or by e-mail.
- Order a radio greeting. If your significant other is outside the house driving and listening to the radio, then send an SMS with a pleasant text to the radio station. The main thing is to agree that he does not switch the wave. If you can get through on the air and talk about your feelings yourself, it will be doubly pleasant for the man.
After work
A guy exhausted from an eight or ten hour workday will not refuse to relax in a hot bath, especially if his partner joins him. Prepare a light dinner, after which you take him to the bath. An intimate atmosphere will be created by rose petals or aromatic bath foam, candles and pre-prepared champagne.
Secret declarations of love2
If a girl lives with a guy in the same house or apartment, a good idea for a surprise would be to hide secret declarations of love. First, you need to cut small pieces of paper and write confessions on them, for example, “I love you,” “I still think only about you,” and so on. After this, you should scatter these notes throughout the house. Love notes can be scattered and posted anywhere, for example, a mirror, closet, shelf, shoes, jacket or any part of the room. Just remember that you shouldn’t write anything complicated. And under no circumstances should you write a long text, because it might bore the guy.

How to arrange an unforgettable surprise for your beloved husband?
If at some point you decide that you are living according to the rules, then it’s time to do what your partner does not expect from you:
- Never had a candlelit dinner before? Do it.
- Didn't you kiss your husband before leaving for work? Get started.
- Do you think that you are not meant to be a mother and don’t want children? Is your husband only for it? Change your position to the opposite and discuss this issue with him.
- Don’t like his mother and rarely invite him to visit? Change yourself and invite her to a family dinner.
A small change in your usual behavior will be a surprise for your husband and will make you look at you in a new way, perhaps even make you fall in love with him again.
Erotic
A small change in usual behavior will be a surprise for your husband
. There are a lot of ideas for surprises on a sexual topic, especially if your couple is ready to open up and trust each other:
- Changing clothes. Appear to your husband dressed as a sweet maid, a strict boss or a modest schoolgirl. Your husband will be happy with such a gift! In order not to make a mistake, find out in advance about the preferences of your significant other.
- Unexpected meeting. Let a completely different girl appear on the threshold: a wig with long curly strands and smoky eyes makeup will do the trick. Add some sexy lingerie and elegant heels to make yourself the star of the evening.
- Erotic dance. Take a few strip dance classes so that the parter will be delighted with your dance. Remember that the female body looks best in dim lighting. The following singles can be selected as musical accompaniment:
- Nicole Scherzinger Ft. T.I. - Whatever You Like
- Elvis Presley – Fever
- Joe Cocker - You Can Leave Your Hat On
- Jamelia – Stop
- Eurythmics – Sweet dreams
- Cheryl Cole – Ghetto baby
On a rest
Japan, Turkey, Tunisia, New York, Bulgaria or the Bahamas - resort surprises can be as original as the host country:
- On vacation near the sea, try to surprise a guy with a romantic inscription in the sand.
- Discreetly buy a nice thing in the store that would remind your partner of your vacation together.
- A date in a restaurant or cafe, especially a spontaneous one, will add a touch of surprise to your vacation.
Romantic surprises without investing money
Romance... Do you think that this requires money and large expenses? But no. Below are a few ideas. I believe that in order to please and surprise your soul mate, you only need desire.

DIY gift options for your loved one
In such gifts, the basis is your passion for the cause, because the time spent and efforts made are always noticeable and pleasant to a loved one.
DIY gift options for your loved one
Four suitable options:
- One hundred reasons for love. You can describe your feelings on pieces of colored block paper, cut out pieces of paper in the shape of a heart, or roll up small scrolls from scrap paper. Put all the “100 reasons for your love” in a jar, a beautiful box and present it to your loved one.
- Useful thing. Practical men will be pleased to receive a hand-knitted scarf, gloves, sweater or warm socks for the winter from their beloved girl.
- Tattoo. For some men, a tattoo stamped on a girl’s body in honor of him becomes the most memorable surprise for the rest of her life. This is a serious step that not everyone will take. A modest drawing of the date the relationship began or his initials can be printed in a place hidden from other eyes.
- The bouquet is not made of flowers. Bouquets made from small souvenir bottles with alcohol look great as a gift. For men who prefer to relax on the weekend with a bottle of low-alcohol drink, you can easily make a bouquet from a battering ram wrapped in newspaper, like in gift wrapping.
How to choose a New Year's surprise for a man according to his age?
In addition to the interests and hobbies of a man, your budget allocated for the purchase of gifts and surprises, you should also think about the age of your beloved man. Of course, there are 60-year-olds who enjoy playing football with the boys, just like those who are too lazy to get off the couch at 30. But it is still possible to classify the expected type of surprise for the New Year depending on the age of the man.
- From 18 to 22 years old: all kinds of gadgets, branded items that would be nice to have engraved as a keepsake;
- Up to 25 years: accessories for work, various tools, certificates for purchases in stores for men are also suitable;
- Up to 30 years: a universal surprise gift will be smartphones and all kinds of add-ons for their operation;
- Up to 35 years old: surprises may be related to the type of their activity, and also at this age a man is interested in certificates for health procedures;
- Up to 40 years: something personalized, connected with the personality of a particular man, since this is precisely the age when such things are especially valuable for representatives of the stronger half of humanity;
- Up to 45 years old: the best surprise is impressions , especially romantic ones, so that the period called the midlife crisis passes as easily as possible
- Up to 55 years: everything related to physical education and sports, maintaining health;
- Up to 65 years old: an age when men, still full of strength and energy, spend a lot of time at their dachas and in vegetable gardens, so the most welcome surprise will be everything related to such activities and other housework;
- From 65 and older: games that train memory and intelligence, health surprises, and all kinds of auxiliary devices will be of interest.
Romantic dinner: how to surprise your loved one?
To prevent a culinary masterpiece from going sideways, it is better to take on a proven dish. However, the real surprise will be a new experiment.
Romantic dinner: how to surprise your loved one?
Choose a recipe that has been tested by hundreds of housewives, with ingredients that your partner likes.
Remember, that:
- Candles will create a romantic atmosphere.
- For dessert, cookies or heart-shaped snacks are suitable.
- Only an avid athlete would refuse homemade pizza for dinner.
By adding a smile and warm words to the gift, you will make any modest surprise doubly attractive. Like any person, a man values attention. Don’t forget to please him at least sometimes, and your relationship will sparkle with new colors.
Memories5
If a girl wants to surprise her lover with something unusual, she can make him an album with photos of them together. Such a gift can melt the heart of even the most inveterate pessimist. It is necessary to put all the most pleasant moments of the relationship in the album. You can also write small, short declarations of love next to the photographs. If a girl knows how to draw and is very creative, then you can beautifully paint every page of the album. Draw hearts or flowers.
You shouldn’t rack your brain for hours thinking about: “What kind of surprise can you give a man?” Making a surprise for your loved one is actually not at all difficult. The most important thing is to turn on your imagination and think carefully about what your man might like. It is important to love your loved ones and not forget to pamper them!

Surprise gadget for your beloved guy for the New Year
- Smartphone . None of the men will refuse a new phone. The main thing when choosing a gift is to take into account age: the older the person, the simpler and more understandable the model should be.
- glasses will delight those who like to spend time playing computer games. You can also give just computer glasses, which reduce eye strain. You can also present a computer gamer with a new video game that has just appeared on sale - he will appreciate this gift.
- New joysticks in a set are inexpensive and always in demand.
- Computer chair . If your male computer genius sits for hours in front of the monitor, he simply needs such a surprise for the New Year.

- Any components for a computer - a mouse (including a gaming mouse), a backlit keyboard, a monitor. Such a surprise will be especially useful if you know that recently the gadget has begun to cause problems for your young man.

- Wireless charger . This is especially true for a guy who has a pet at home that likes to play with wires and chew on them. If funds allow, buy a wooden charger and engrave it. Or opt for a robot charger with a powerful battery that will remind you of the Star Wars movie.
- Case for any gadget: tablet, smartphone, laptop. This is, first of all, protection from damage, and if you decorate the surface with a memorable drawing or inscription, it will also be a manifestation of your love.

Technical genius
What surprise to prepare for a girl or guy
An interesting date, like a surprise
If you decide to have a date, you can write on small pieces of paper several options for places where you would like to go, fold the pieces of paper and put them in a jar. You can decorate the jar first, and then invite the girl to choose one of the options.
* A date can be arranged based on common interests, or if some interests differ, then you can plan several dates (for example, once a month) - prepare 12 options for each month.
Wardrobe surprise for your beloved guy or man for the New Year
A practical, necessary and sought-after New Year's gift for a man is wardrobe items. Fashion is changing rapidly, and any loving woman should help her man look modern and stylish.
- Sweater with deers. On no other holiday is it as appropriate as on the New Year. The Norwegian pattern on a sweater is also suitable - it also reminds of cold weather and the need to dress warmly.
- A sweatshirt is another comfortable, practical and, most importantly, warm option. Put a print on it and you will see how surprised and happy your man will be.
- Thermal underwear . This surprise has it all - attention, care, and comfort.
- Personalized robe. This gift is appropriate for a man with whom you have a long-term, strong relationship. And it will even be funny if he dresses up in it on New Year’s Eve, because it is, after all, a family holiday (of course, if you are not supposed to celebrate it in a large company).
- Beach suit . It will be a real surprise due to its unexpectedness: summer notes on a cold winter day.
- Pajamas . A cozy element of your night wardrobe that will also please a man close enough to you. If you just started dating a guy, refrain from such a surprise.
- The scarf and hat are warm, soft, and made in the same style.
- A tie and belt is another ensemble that can be endless. In addition, you can make a memorable engraving on the belt, which will give it exclusivity.
- Socks . A hackneyed, banal gift can be turned into a real surprise if you approach the matter creatively. For example, give a man a year's supply, decorating it with a lush bouquet.
- Transformable jacket for adults. A fun set that doubles as a sweatshirt or a soft toy that can be used as a pillow.
