24 ROMANTIC WAYS TO SURPRISE YOUR PARTNER TO WOW THEM
You have probably heard so much about spicing up your relationship/marriage and finding romantic ways to surprise your partner for no reason.
But some people – even during special occasions – do not see the need to do something from the usual to put a smile on their partner’s face.
I will be blunt and say this is wrong.
If you love someone, then you should definitely celebrate them and your love always but more importantly, on certain occasions or for certain reasons.
However, you will agree with me that sometimes, we just don’t know what to do and so, we just don’t bother.
Well, you don’t have to do that anymore; I have highlighted 24 different romantic ways to surprise your partner to wow them today. Let’s get to it.
Romantic Tips to Surprise Your Partner On Their Birthday
Home-Made Video
If you want to get your partner feeling all mushy and emotional first thing on their birthday, then this is a perfect gift.
Just make a video of you wishing your partner a happy birthday, you can include video clips of memories you’ve made together and if you want to spice it up the more, you can get some of their family and friends in on it as well.
This is so much effective if it is the first thing they wake up to, so make sure they get it in the morning or you wake them to it.
Picture Hangers
While your partner is at work, gather pictures of both of you and hang it in different places of the room.
To make it more interesting, you can start with pictures of when you just met, when you started dating, events you’ve been to, together and so on.
You can trust that your partner will have a good walk down memory lane and such a birthday will not be forgotten in a hurry.
Also, you can add a little décor using ribbons and balloons to make the room cheerier but ensure that the hanging pictures stand out.
The 5-Senses Gift Set
Gifts are normal, everyday ways of celebrating a special one on their special day but why not spice it up and make your partner squeal for delight?
You can achieve this by using the 5-senses gift set.
What is a 5-senses gift set, you may ask?
Well, it is simply getting 5 gifts that they can touch (handmade quilt, flower vase or message boards), see (a diary), taste (a food tray, cake, fruit hamper, etc), smell (colognes, body spray, perfume oils, etc) and hear (instruments like violin, saxophone, guitar, etc).
But ensure they are cute things your partner will appreciate or like.
Put them in 5 boxes fitting into each other with cute notes like “Touch me” “see me” “hear me” “taste me” and “smell me”.
Candle-Lit Dinner Date
You can also go the route of the good-old candle-lit dinner date.
Depending on their taste, you can reserve a private or a public dinner date at their favourite restaurant.
You can also do it at home if you know your partner will appreciate that more.
Order in or prepare meals besides the usual and set the environment with candles and romantic music.
It will definitely make your partner fall head in love with you again.
Romantic Ways to Surprise Your Partner On Your Anniversary
Fun Trip
An exciting and fun trip is certainly a welcome idea to celebrate your anniversary with your partner outside of the hustle and bustle of your everyday lives.
You can plan a trip to the amusement park, to the zoo, to the mall, to a new city, to a new country, to the park; it can be anywhere apart from the environment y’all are used to.
The aim is to do it differently in a relaxing, warm and exciting environment, to do something fun and relaxing and to have that day to each other.
If you are parents, send them to their grandparents or get a babysitter, so you don’t have to worry about them and you can enjoy your anniversary to the fullest.
Kayaking and Karaoke
They sound like two things that are seemingly not combined together but the fact stands that both are fun, exciting and challenging.
You don’t go kayaking or to a karaoke every day.
So, get on that boat together and enjoy a great time together on calm waters then hit the karaoke after that to have fun singing your favourite songs together.
You can be tone-deaf and karaoke doesn’t care; all that matters is that you have fun.
Go to the Movies.
Take a trip to see a movie, preferably a movie you both want to see that is showing or even just go and pick a random one.
If you or your partner are not the outdoorsy type, you can have a movie night at home with popcorn and a chilled bottle of wine, alone.
The aim is to chill out together, relax, have fun, and laugh.
Honeymoon/First Meeting Reloaded
Your anniversary is a perfect time to relive and re-enact how your first honeymoon was like if you are married.
If you are not, you can go where you first met, had your first date or somewhere that presents a great memory to you both.

Visit
This is a no-brainer.
If you are in a long-distance relationship, the most important thing for the both of you will probably be seeing each other.
So, imagine the joy in their face when you visit them when they weren’t expecting to see you.
Now, remember that some people don’t like to be visited unannounced. If your partner is like that; you should inform them.
Telling them you are visiting when they least expect is a surprise in itself.
Send a Gift
You can hardly go wrong with a gift, especially if you are gifting them something they like or will enjoy.
So, go online, find something they will like and send it to them or put in their address so it is shipped directly to them.

What makes this even more beautiful is that you are in different places.
It will mean a lot to them that you found a restaurant in their city or town and got them to send them lunch.
Write a Letter

The effort it takes to write a letter and mail it when you could send it via email or SMS or WhatsApp and the various messaging platforms available today will be meaningful to your partner.
