Rose petals on the bed look great and are very romantic however nobody tells you that they stain your sheets and you have to have to clean them up afterwards. A better option is to leave a trail of rose petals leading to a candle lit dinner, bubble bath or bedroom with scented candles and massage oil. If you are doing this for your lady it’s always nice to be waiting with a single red rose or if you’re feeling extravagant a whole bouquet. Make sure that the scent is one that you both like. If you have a cat like I did at the time, you may want to put them in a room for a while, my trail started out looking really good but the spaces had to be widened as my cat kept eating the petals.
If your partner has had a tiring work week, why not surprise them at the door with some balloons, take care of dinner if you don’t usually and leave a love note in the bedroom where they’ll find it when they get changed.
Another nice thing that is inexpensive is to put a note into their lunch bag or pocket once in a while letting them know that you are missing them, how much you love them, how attractive you find them, how much you appreciate them or something a little more personal. I like to make lunch for my husband and every now and then I cut a red napkin into a heart shape. You can send a flower to work or if your partner is a home maker send flowers there.
Go on a day date as well as having date nights and do something that your partner has always wanted to do like dancing or indoor wall climbing.
A little effort goes a long way and showing that you care doesn’t have to be expensive.
