Valentines Ideas For Your Man

It's so hard to think of things to suprise your husband or boyfriend! It seems like every holiday or birthday I'm stuck. So I decided to give some ideas to make them feel special! Hopefully this gives some inspiration! 

1. Plan a night out for HIM! 

Instead of him trying to plan something for you all the time, take matters in your own hands! Get a babysitter, plan where you are going. Maybe it's dinner out of town. Or a romantic ride through the country. Dinner and a movie in town. Plan everything and make it a surprise. He will love it because he didn't have to worry about a thing! 

2. Suprise him at work

Take him a coffee or lunch to his work and let him know you are thinking about him. It will most definately make him feel special since it's unexpected. 

3. Go to different restaraunts

Plan for cocktails and an appetizer at one restaraunt, then the main course at another, then dessert somewhere else! It makes a date night last longer and seems spontaneous and fun! 

4. Get up early and make him breakfast

Who doesn't love breakfast in bed? Sneak out of bed early and whip up his favorite breakfast! To make things extra festive, make The Pioneer Woman's red velvet pancakes in the shape of a heart. Awwww! Or if you don't feel like cooking. Make a Starbucks run! 

5. Write him a love note

It's the best gift. So heartfelt and meaningful. Plus it's free. Trust me, a honest love note will help your relationship so much. It lets your spouse know how you feel. Instead of assuming that they know. 

6. Make a basket of fun!

Put together a basket of goodies for your love. Fill it with their favorite candy, magazines, beer, clothes, movies, gift cards, whatever they are interested in. It's such a thoughtful thing to do! 

7. Make coupons for your man

These are also free! Some ideas include, a massage, breakfast in bed, day of their choice, fishing trip at their favorite spot, dessert of their choice, whatever interests them! 

8. Night out of town!

Plan a night away, just the two of you! Have a fancy dinner, go dancing, have a few drinks, just have fun! You won't regret it!

9. Go on a walk or hike

Enjoy the fresh air with your love! There's nothing better that getting outside! Take pictures of scenery and just savor the moment. Take a picnic if you plan on being gone for a while! 

10. Reminisce about when you first got together

Talk about when you met, got engaged, married, got pregnant, all of the major life moments. It's fun to think about the happy times and it will also bring you closer. Make plans for the future too! Write them down and see where they take you! 

11. Play a board game!

This is so exciting and fun! Get competitive and have a few beers while you're at it! ;-)

12. Cook together

Make a romantic dinner for two together. Light candles and turn on some music. Cook a new meal together. I don't know about you but most of the time I'm cooking in the kitchen and Eric is grilling or watching the baby. Make it special and do it together. Try a new beer or wine with dinner that you pick out together. 

13. Plan or pretend plan a trip

Talk about where you would go if you could go anywhere in the world. It's interesting to know where your spouse would pick! 

Hopefully this sparked some ideas in your head to make that hardworking man in your life feel special! Happy Valentines Day everyone!
