A surprise is always a great thing to receive from that special someone. Make your man feel appreciated by planning a surprise for him. It's often said we get what we give. So, if you want him to fawn over you like the best thing that ever happened to him, take a little time to plan something nice for him.
If you're wondering how to surprise your boyfriend, we've got some great ideas to get you started. Try one or all of the following suggestions. Be warned, though - he'll be appreciating you a lot.
Bring Him Breakfast in Bed
There is no better way to start the day than feasting like a king in bed. Your boyfriend will feel like true royalty with this one. You don't need to be a gourmet chef to impress him with this surprise. If you can cook an egg and make toast, you'll be a hit. You can even go the extra mile and include some freshly squeezed juice.
Accompany Him in Making One of His Dreams Come True
Your guy probably has a bucket list like everyone else. Set aside some time and help him tick off some of what's included on his list. Whether it be a trip to the Bahamas, skydiving, or just learning to bake a cake, be there for him to help make it happen.
Not only will he have accomplished one of his goals, but the memory of doing so will now always be associated with you making it happen.
Give Him a Gift
Yes, a gift is old-fashioned, but it works. On the list of surprises for your boyfriend, this one is always going to be a hit. Don't worry about expensive gifts. Instead, find one that shows how well you know him. If it takes some effort to find, like a vintage baseball card, he'll be even more appreciative than if you bought him a pricey coat, for example.
Cook Him With a Candlelight Dinner
There are few things more relaxing after a hard day than a delicious, hot meal. Add in some candlelight and a good bottle of wine, and you have a recipe for a romantic, quiet evening together. He'll be sure to unwind because of your efforts and will be basking in his good fortune at having found you.
Leave a Love Note on His Breakfast Plate
Start the morning off right with a sweet little reminder of how much your guy is loved. There is no substitute for a handwritten note. A text just isn't as special. So, spend the extra time crafting a sweet note. Let him know how lucky you feel to be with him and all the wonderful things you notice he does for you. A little abject appreciation can go a long way.
Try a DIY Crafting Project for Something He Can Use in His Daily Life
The only thing better than receiving something useful that you can use every day is to have it made for you by someone who loves you. Show him how much you care by crafting something he needs.
What you make depends on your skills, of course. If you knit, perhaps you can create a hat or scarf. Do you know how to work with clay? If so, you can surprise your boyfriend with a personalized coffee mug. Your creativity is the only limit.
Send Him Naughty Photos
Make him eager to get home to you. Send him naughty photos while he is gone to get him in the mood for a wild night. Be careful how revealing the pictures are if he is at work, of course. Lingerie is usually a safe bet. Not to mention, sometimes less is more.
Teasing is an art. Try starting fully dressed and sending a pic every time you remove an item of clothing until you're down to that sexy lingerie.
Plan an Especially Sexy Night in Bed
Spend an evening fulfilling one of his fantasies in the bedroom. He'll appreciate it more than you can imagine and will be walking with a spring in his step for weeks afterward. If you don't know what he might want, make a game of it. Ask him to text you any secret fantasies he has had that he may be too shy to tell you about.
Give Him a Full Body Massage
Getting a good massage is always a great way to feel appreciated. And it's a great way to leave the stress of the day behind and shift your thoughts to more romantic pursuits.
If you want to have a steamy night in bed, the first order of business is to wash away the cares and concerns of the day. So, put on some soft music, light some candles, and give him a nice, slow massage.
Do an Errand or Chore He Has Been Avoiding
Everyone has something they need to do that they keep procrastinating over because they just don't want to do it. Your guy is no different. Pick one of the things you know he is going to hate doing, and sneak off to do it for him. There are few better surprises than to find out something miserable has been magically taken off your plate.
Clean His Apartment
If your guy doesn't live with you, it's overwhelmingly likely he doesn't keep his place nearly up to the same standards you do yours.
So, sneak off to his place and do some tidying. Not only will you give him a nice surprise, but he might start wondering why he lives alone. It's an excellent nudge if you're trying to get your guy to move along to a more serious relationship. Let him know what he's missing out on.
Bake for Him
There's something magical about the smell of freshly baked bread or cookies. You'll have him reminiscing about his childhood in no time.
Pro tip: If you really want to get his attention, dress up for the occasion in a cute dress, heels, and an apron. You'll be surprised by how effective that sexy homemaker look actually is.
Play Some Video Games With Him
Instead of making him put up his game controller when you come in the room, sit down and join him. Guys love to do activities when they're hanging out. Joining him is a great team-building exercise. Surprisingly, this is a great way to build closeness and trust with him as you struggle to achieve common goals to win together.
