Romantic Things to Do for Your Boyfriend
Truly Memorable Dates and Romantic Gestures for Him
Although home-cooked dinners and dates out are nice, in the long run, I've found that those memories are not the ones that stand out. In the long run, it's best to be creative and original. The more personal, the better.
I have been with my boyfriend for six years now. Over the years, there have been a handful of romantic gestures on my part that really made him glow. I hope to share these moments, so that you have ideas for how to do the same within your relationship.
1. Stage a Birthday Surprise: Hide His Gift
This one may not seem so original, but it worked! Hide his birthday gift under his bed or pillow or anywhere you know he will find out the next morning. Of course, you must hide it the day before his birthday.
2. Record an Original CD or Tape
If you are a musician, you may want to make him a song. Sneak it onto a playlist he always listens to or create a whole new playlist. Or if you are old-fashioned like me, make a CD or a mix-tape. I've literally stuck a microphone inside my piano to record a few songs on a tape recorder, and he says that is still the best gift he remembers. If you can't play an instrument, record a poem or a letter simply letting him know how much he means to you. You can leave it in his car for a surprise!
3. Arrange for a Gift—for His Mother
This one is very original. Thought it may seem odd at first, it is extremely memorable, and by making his mother melt, you will see how happy he become in return. On his birthday, buy a present for him to send as a gift to his mother. Letting her know how much he loves her on his birthday is a gesture that will warm the hearts of everyone involved.
4. If You're Long Distance, Deliver a Surprise Care Package—Yourself!
When we were in a long-distance relationship, I flew over on a 32-hour journey in order to surprise him for his birthday. If you plan ahead, this is probably one of the best things you could do—literally delivering yourself at an important time. We all know how hard a long-distance relationship can be, and that makes a surprise in-person visit even more meaningful!
5. Plan an Adult Hooky Day
Think Ferris Beuller's Day Off. Plan a random day to both take off "sick" from work. Then make a mental list of things you can do that day, such as museums, movies, walks through the city, and restaurants you've always wanted to try (especially ones that have strange hours or that are difficult to make reservations at during normal times). Then with this arsenal of possibilities at hand, seize the day and follow it where it leads you!
6. Use Food
As they say, food is the door to the heart. Surprise him by baking cookies in the shapes of letters spelling, "You are the sweetest guy I've ever met" (this is easy to do with store-bought cookie dough), or by asking your regular pizza place to make a specialty pizza in the shape of a heart and adding a note saying, "Is this too cheesy?"
7. Flip the Script and Make Him Breakfast in Bed
Guys making their girls breakfast in bed is notoriously romantic and thoughtful—but the same is true in reverse. He will definitely remember the day where he woke up to eggs, coffee, hash browns, and fruit. The time that he usually spends in his daily routine preparing breakfast will be able to be spent instead on leisurely enjoying breakfast together. If you are feeling especially romantic, prepare strawberries and champagne as well—there's nothing like starting the day off with some bubbly.
8. Creative Yardwork
Creative yardwork can be the equivalent of shouting your love from the rooftops, only more thoughtful. If it is snows overnight, wake up before him to write "I Love You" outside of the window with your footsteps or with a shovel. If you have a lawn, you can mow the same message in the grass facing the house. The surprise on his face will be worth it!
9. A Thoughtful Gift That Costs Time, Not Money
The most romantic gifts cost time, not money. Think back over your time together and write a poem about the time you first met. Instead of writing an "I love you" letter, make an "I love you" video filled with your favorite inside jokes and places you've visited together. Think of that thing he lingered over when you were window shopping, and go back to that store and get it for him as a surprise. The thought and time involved will make the gift one-of-a-kind.
10. Make Plans to Step Outside Your Boundaries
For me, stepping outside of my boundaries was taking my boyfriend to a motel three hours away from the city, whipping out the alcohol, and proceeding to have one of the most memorable nights of my life. Of course, he remembers this night too, as I stepped out of my box to please him and be a bit naughty.
Admittedly, getting wasted is not the most romantic or healthy piece of advice to end on. But for a special day, such as a birthday, anniversary, or holiday, pick a weekend to get away from the city and do something that you do not usually do. Maybe it will involve backpacking in the wilderness or bungee jumping, maybe it will involve parades at Mardi Gras or a clothing-optional beach. Stepping outside of your boundaries together will create a lasting memory, and bring you closer.
Final Thoughts
Those are my contributions. I would like to hear your truly memorable dates and romantic gestures as well. If you've had a great idea, please share it in the comments!

Даже если тень матери встанет из могилы, ей не остановить сына. Граф приказал оседлать коня. Быстро скачет конь по крутой дороге. Тут бы попридержать коня, а рыцарь ещё вонзает шпоры в покрытые пеной бока. Красным закатным огнём горят вершины гор. Рыцарь выехал на берег Рейна.

Hi sim: congrats for you and your bf's 1 year anniversary!
I think getting 21 gifts is a sweet idea however you may be treating him just too much! Remember he will absolutely love that you flew over to see him. I think that is good enough!
does he have a good watch? if you can afford, getting him a new watch for the anniversary/21st bday is an awesome idea. Guys often don't like jewellery but they do appreciate a good watch! I got my bf a watch that cost me an arm and a leg (seiko) but he still wears it and loves it and he's now 28! definitely long lasting gift.
Hi!
My boyfriend and I will be having our 1year anniversary next month and he turns 21 in July. I want to get him something special. We are in a long distance relationship and i'm flying up to go visit him for our anniversary and his birthday. II was thinking of getting him 21 gifts, lots of small ones and a couple of big ones. Any suggestions?

Hi there, congrats on your 1 year anniversary! This may sound boring but you could get a plant in a pot (a seedling or a small plant) that she could have in her room or balcony and watch it grow? It's a nice reminder as that plant will always resemble your 1 year anniversary. Try getting a sturdy type of plant that will last years (even a cute cactus, the smooth type!). My bf didn't like the idea of cut flowers (or may just be his excuse!) so he once got me a plant which i adored!
Something personal will always last forever, even a heart felt letter, a CD with songs that both of you will enjoy?
There are so many activities you can do but for marking 1.2.or 3 years anniversary I think it will be really neat to get away from all of that and just have a quiet time at a beach or somewhere peaceful and just let it be! hope it helped and congrats again!
Hey. I need a little advice on what to do for me and my girlfriends one year. It's soon and I need help on thinking what we should do on that day. I'm 17 and she's 16 (both still in high school). She has her license but I don't. I want to do something special that we will both remember. Please help :)

Hello, i'm so lazy at checking comments sorry! Congratulations on you & your bf's 1st year anniversary!
How about taking him one of the places where you used to go to when you first started dating that you don't go to anymore? That will bring back memories and remind him how you felt towards him. I don't think an expensive "gift" is appropriate or necessary for a 1 year anniversary, make it more meaningful by writing him a letter (perhaps spritzed with perfume you wore when you first started dating him). Just anything to remind him the moments you cherished that brought you two upto this very important 1 year mark. Did i make any sense? hope it helped, and let me know how it went and what you ended up doing (too nosy i am). xox

Aww that is a great idea. thank you!!

hope this helps :)

What does he like? how old are you two? i think food-type of gift of what your man likes will be quite nice. If i were you i'd want nothing but a giant macaroon baked just for me! :)

Wow, congratulations!
How about a sensual massage therapy session for you and your hubby? You can either get it done by someone or have a lesson so you engage with each other-
or if that's too much i think a relaxing "for two" spa therapies & warm bath will be perfect! Especially for your bubz too x good luck! you deserve to be pampered!!

Hi XDIANVIE, i would be useless for suggestions on this, as i can't begin to think what 9 y.o. boy would like for his bday! But i'm sure he appreciates you as his gf and whatever you decide to do/give him, he will love! Maybe you could arrange to decorate his desk with bday goodies like balloons, card from his friends etc before he gets there? and pop in in the morning and give him a kiss! I would do something sneaky like that at school, so his day is special!

@flower- 6month anniversary- congratulations! How about a beautiful card or gift you can make and write something special- either poem, quotes or even fill an envelope with things that mean something to you two. I have recently discovered the fun of putting together a glory box, but i think you will scare him off if you were to present him with this at such an early stage!
Make a canvas of your fav photo, he will forever cherish!
Other than that, just being there for him and not being grouchy x)
I THINK YOU SHOULD TAKE THE GIFT AND HIDE IT WHERE HE DOSENT GO MOST OF THE TIME
For all those middle school girls out there that want tips, here ya go! Me and my boyfriend are in middle school too and we have been 2 gether for 2 years and if you want to do something nice for him on his b day just spend time w/ him. My bf had a b day party at the bowling alley and i sat next to him and cheered him on. A present idea is to either make him something nice but not too mushy, or get him something simple. I made a card for him and gave him a box of triangular dominos and him and i played with them for a while. Get to know him for 7- 10 months and them if he's comfortable around you, give him hugs every once in a while. Hope this helps!
So, I my boyfriend and I's 6th month anniversary is coming up. I was wondering what if anything I should do? We are in middle school...yes I know its very young! But, any suggestions? Thanks

@Prnyta Sorry i missed this, was on holiday! What did you end up getting for him? There is nothing to worry about when it comes to "gifts"- the best gift to him is you in his life, and anything else, that YOU've thought of, is extra. So begin skyping with him and keep your communication going and you can do something special together when you can reunite!
@Emmylou7
Hmm..that's a hard one. You could take him to a specialty beer brewery/restaurant? depending on where you live though i guess...(?)
i guess choose a rustic kinda restaurant that serve interesting food matched with beer.
What to do after dinner for a country guy....hmmm...can't suggest specific activities as i don't know where you live (where i am is Summer! so id take him hiking/evening beach walk etc).
Most guys like games so you could hit gaming alley and let him play his fav game (probably driving games?) and also old school basketball & air hockey game with you :P
4-wheel drive adventures if you can afford, or hiring his fav car for the night may be cool too! let me know what you plan to do x
Hey, I wanted to do something special for my boyfriend just because. We go out a lot but its always the same usual thing. I wanted to take him out to dinner but he's kind of picky about food. I also wanted to do something different after dinner but I don't know what because he normally likes to go to the bar for a few drinks and he doesn't like normal things like bowling or the movies and stuff like that. He's a country guy who likes going out to the woods, mudding, bombfires etc. I just want to do something different but I want him to like it. He always pays for everything and I just want to do sometthing for him for once. What would be a perfect date for someone like him?
Not sure about sending my mum a gift on my own birthday...
hi christy i really really need help my bf's bday s day after dats on 4th of jan, nd i really don't know wat to do for his bday cox our s distance relation. and i cant even go to his place due to my work. and pls suggest me wat to gift him.... waitin for ur reply.

Hi Katy- your situation sounds a bit nasty to be honest. that b**ch friend of his should just be ignored.
Let your friends do their thing, but you can also do something just with him before/after that. He would probably want to have a good time with bunch of his mates, but maybe not his so called girl "friends". not really sure how i can help you, but if i were you i'd stay aside for the friend-organised event then plan intimate time between just you and him and keep it separate. don't bring up your complaints about his mean friends on his bday though! x
- AUTHOR
Hello- thanks for all your comments, and i'm soooo sorry i couldn't answer your questions- hope you all found a great gift for your partner- remember just being able to spend time with him in person or online on his special day or your anniversary will all add up and deepen your relationship, so don't fuss over gifts! funny thing is the longer you've been in a relationship (cf i am still with my man after 9 years =) still gf/bf for now, but i'm loving it and in no hurry to get married =)) the more you appreciate little gifts on those special days. because you as a person is special to him, you don't need to please him with "stuff". =) xoxo
Well hello there uhm my boyfriend will have a birthday soon the thing is that his friends always plan something and don't include me this time i want to do something for him but what if their friends planned something idk wat to do since one of his friends and I don't get along she hates my guts and does everything to make me feel uncomfortable without him noticing should i just plan something for us or let his friends do it and just let him go and stay aside? :/

I really don't know what we can do & can't stop thinking about it, he's 16 and just started college, he doesn't have a job at the moment so I'm not sure how much he can do & I'm 15 and in my last year of school, I don't have a job either but I've got money in my banks or I'll just get it of my mum & dad(a)..

Hey this is my first time on this website and im confused cuz well i was with this guy for two months and then he said he wanted a break cuz i was a distraction and all he could think about was me. A month later he said he wanted a second chance and i wasn't going to but.... i love him and he said he cried every night and i think that's like the sweetest thing. He has never lied to me before. Hes really a sweet guy and i love him sooo much. Do u think i made the right choice? I guess that's my question cuz my mom thinks hes playing with my emotions but hes not that kind of guy and wht else would he cry every night if i don't mean something to him? Tell me what you think asap please!
My boyfriends birthday is in a few weeks time. I've ordered him a mug with his favourite cartoon character on it and got him some posh fudge because he loves it ! Didn't cost a lot but its quite personal which I feel is best as he'll appreciate it more. I've also made a birthday card as its more special :) hope it helps people.

Kate- i've replied through email, please let me know how it goes!
DesyinLuv- im glad you asked what "what should I Do" a lot of girls expect it's all guys and if they've cooled off they will resent them. But it goes both ways. there will definitely be a period of "no fire" or how id describe "cosy-couch bear" period. relationship shouldn't always be fire. do something together to understand each other more (some sort of activity) and make the most of this comfy period. As long as you both appreciate the fact tht you're next to each other should be thought of as a blessing. It should be comfortable to sit next to him without saying a word knowing your hearts connected. then fire should just come naturally. If you mean in a pure sexual sense there are TONS of toys and advice on the net already on how to spice it up a bit in that department. Use deferent techniques without warning and let him enjoy the new sensations e.g. have you tried ice, crushed fruit and crackle candy? you get the idea.
or it's always exciting to travel and see new places together. if you can afford the time and $ pack your things and head off somewhere for a few nights! good luck!

CB- i know it's late i'm sorry, i hope the dinner went well. I seriously don't see a problem with taking him to the steakhouse... if he really feels uncomfortable he will tell you...but just say you are spoiling him to celebrate his anniversary for being born!
devon- don't force the "kiss" it will come naturally, i promise!
El- this is a tricky 1. makes life difficult if you two can't find time together and if you're going away especially. I think boys will always be boys (i.e sexual)so don't make hard rules about this as boys thinks romantic=sex. Just try to figure out how much he means for you and how you will practically work things out with timing and seeing each other and if it seems like it will be o.k. THEN think about sex. Too much on your mind is not good for sexual times :) good luck and let me know how it goes

Okay so ive got a problem. My boyfriend is turning 18 November 5th and i was planning on taking him out to a steak house and everything. but he comes from a different economic situation then i do and if you want to put it this way, financially im better off. and i don't want him to feel awkward if i take him to like an expensive restaurant. and i know i could just take him to a not so expensive one but i really don't want to. so im kinda confused about what i should do.
my boyfriends birthday is on the 2nd of november, and his turning 23!!! and i don't know what to do! really need ideas etc.
thanks
:)

Mistty16- If you can afford to, try to be there in person. Or if possible, meet half-way for a special weekend?
If you really can't get together on your birthdays video chat isn't a bad idea either. You can always send him a gift aswel, whatever the case, he will appreciate the thought/time you've put into it! good luck and let me know what you've decided to do!! xox

9 hours is a loooong way to drive...sounds like you two are meant to be ! :) xox
My boyfriend loves it and thinks it is Most special when I make him something. It's better than buying a gift because you put your hard work, thought, and love into it. I used to draw him pictures all the time, once I made him a special pillow case that took two weeks to make and he took such good care of it never wanting to get it dirty or anything it was so cute. I also made him a teddy bear once lol
well. i am a gal, but i agree with boynextdoor. my boyfriend likes it most when he spends time together.he lives 9 hours away from my house. he is very loving and i love him too. he drives all the way just to spend time with me. he does like suprises, but he says they are not that necessary. am planning to throw a surprise bash party next year for him.
am crazily inlove with him...
hi, i am a boy and i can see your problems here.
Actually, boys doesn't care for special gifts or romantic things. We just want our girlfriends to be there when we need them. To cheer us up in bad times. That would mean a lot to us.
By the way, minor girls should not look for a boyfriend until she reach the adult age. She should study first coz the smarter you are the more respect you'll get.

Hey, i believe a man needs to be told in simple terms. No mind games. No suprises. Just tell him straight up for example :"Hey i want to spend more time together and spice things up a bit. Lets try to make a real effort. We NEED it" "I feel you're on your computer too much" and just go out of your room and DO something. Even a stroll, petshop (I love going to petshops) anywhere! and if he doesn't respond, find a more quiet time to discuss this. i.e. when he is not on his computer. good luck!

Hi Deserie, I've found personalised gifts most memorable for both parties- I say this because i'm sure you've already thought of taking him out to dinner! You could compile a photo-album consisting of your happy treasured times like OE or graduation etc. And write little messages to go with each page- it takes a bit of time but you'll enjoy making it too! If you two have some time off you could also go on a small trip to a spa or get close to nature.
If all else fails and you really want to take him out, how about getting a nice hotel room and feeling like VIP again? :P
Let me know how it goes!!
thanks for the comment too
love Christy
Well hi my boyfriend will be 29 yrs old and he doesn't want a party i want to take him out??
The most important thing about having a romantic date with your partner is to put other concerns aside and enjoy being with each other. You don't have to spend a fortune.
