Here is a nice list of some ideas for romance. We would love to hear from our readers. If you have any romance ideas that you would like to share, please send us your idea. We will periodically choose an idea to feature on this page.

  • Mail your loved one a card or letter.
  • Keep a journal of clippings/ideas of things your significant other has shown interest in. You will always have a handy reference for gift ideas.
  • Make a collage of sentimental memories and have it framed. As a surprise you could just hang it as a surprise or give it as a gift.
  • Post an ad to your sweetheart in the personal column of the newspaper.
  • Love coupons. These are so easy to make. It can be anything from a hug to a favorite meal. (or use your imagination)
  • Start a love calendar of important happy sharing moments, or events that are yet to happen.
  • Make a love tape of songs that you both enjoy. What a sweet surprise to find a tape in the cassette player in the car.
  • Find out your sweeties favorite foods and keep a little cookbook handy. Consult his/her family for childhood favorites.
  • Hide love notes in their pockets, in the fridge, on the windshield wipers. Get creative. Remind that person that they are special.
  • Do a chore that they normally do and hate. Choose something that you normally don't do. Does she always vacuum? You do it. Does he
    always take out the trash? You do it instead. May seem silly, but doing something surprising keeps that little element of spontaneity in a relationship.
  • Does your sweetie love something like M&M's? Or ice cream? Or anything? Don't just buy a small package. Buy a huge package. It is sure to get a smile and be enjoyed in the larger size even more.
  • Place a surprise on your sweetie's pillow. It is always nice to end the day on a romantic note. You could add a card or anything special.
  • Get out the chalk and you and the kids write a big love message to your sweetheart on the driveway as a surprise.
  • Start a restaurant/movies ratings book together. This is something fun that helps create lasting memories.
  • Get a special key-chain engraved for your loved one.
  • Read a book together. (Written by their favorite author)
  • Put a together a puzzle.
  • Plan a mystery night out. Plan a surprise outing.
  • Are dinners out getting expensive? Try breakfasts out.
  • Clip funny comics to post on the fridge.
  • When dining casually, sit together booth style.
