Whether your partner is a boyfriend, girlfriend, fiancée, husband or wife, chances are they all love surprises. They are the perfect way to spice things up in your relationship or marriage especially when everything gets chaotic with social and business commitments. So, finding some time to tell your special others how much you miss them and love them is a surefire way to everlasting love and commitment.
And, if you think that these surprises will cost you a lot or you will need to plan it too far ahead, we are here to show you the opposite. These 6 budget-friendly ways will help you to knock your partner’s socks off with minimum effort and lots of love.
Write Them a Love Card
Who doesn’t get goosebumps when finding a card or love letter from their lover? This old but gold way to say someone “I Love You” or “I Miss You” will never get out of fashion. Therefore, use customizable blank cards with envelopes to put your love on paper and tell someone how much they mean to you.
With blank cards and envelopes, you will have an adaptable and personalised medium to convey your ideas, feelings, and thoughts in a way that fits the situation and your style. They also give you the ability to draw something for your special someone. In other words, blank note cards are a flexible and open-ended approach to communicating and writing your emotions.
You have the option to write them an old-school love letter starting with dear and everything that goes with it. You can tell them what you love most about them, how you fell in love with them, and write your heart out on that piece of paper. When you sign it, make sure to spray a bit of your perfume/cologne in it, just to make it extra special.
Furthermore, card envelopes are a terrific approach to hiding notes so that they can find them unexpectedly. On these little notes, you can display your strong feelings. How much you love them, respect them, and appreciate them or everything that takes to make their day. You can hide the notes in your purse or wallet. Or, if they carry lunch, you can place them in their lunchboxes.
On the other hand, blank cards with envelopes allow you to put in them small things like a Hershey’s Kiss or a homemade coupon for a massage or a night at the movies together with your love message. Quotes on the envelope like “Open me when something great happens”, and “open me when you’re feeling lonely” will make the surprise even more thrilling and emotional.
Organize a Spontaneous Date Night
Do you recall those romantic flicks where the lead female character opens a large box containing a stunning dress? Perhaps a card hinting at what’s in store for the evening as well? If you want to do this on a tight budget, arrange her favourite fancy dress (or your favourite dress of hers) on the bed with lovely jewellery or shoes that you’ve also picked out of her closet, and write a letter advising her to get ready for a night out. Although this one is the ideal love scenario for women, guys will also enjoy an impromptu date night. Plan an unexpected night out for them and surprise them with a new restaurant at a reasonable price.
You can also prepare their favourite meal on a date night, especially if you’re someone who doesn’t cook much. Your partner will truly appreciate it if you plan a meal, shop for the ingredients, and prepare something special, even if it’s just mac and cheese, or choose something you both like to eat.
Surprise Them with Breakfast in Bed
Making your significant other breakfast in bed may sound a little cliché but it’s a simple, affordable, and delightful addition to any leisurely Sunday. If they typically eat cereal in the morning, try something different, like pancakes. Pour yourself a cup of your favourite tea or coffee, and if you have a tray lying around, dress it up with a gorgeous napkin or a flower.
Do Something They Won’t Do for Themselves
Many of us would like to have this, do that, or go here, but we are unwilling to invest the time or money to make those things happen. If your partner has mentioned that she needs her favourite boots re-soled or he keeps meaning to return his library books, show them that you are listening by doing whatever it is they have mentioned.
It doesn’t have to be extravagant. Pay special attention to the remarks made informally. You can likely find your partner something that they don’t have time to do for themselves or are unlikely to accomplish. They will be sincerely grateful that you took care of it.
Learn Something New Together
Local manufacturers, artists, and libraries frequently host low-cost workshops for learning new skills. See what events are happening in your neighbourhood by searching Google or looking through your city’s event listings.
If you both enjoy reading, you might be able to join a book club, take a culinary lesson together, or attend a wine and cheese tasting. If your partner has often suggested that they’d love to learn to knit or how to cook Indian food, look specifically for those activities.
