Let’s face it; sometimes our relationships fall into a rut. Our day-to-day lives have become routine. There aren’t any more surprises left in us – or at least, that’s how it seems. Well, there comes a time to snap out of it, and that time is now.
Command his attention by going commando

Employ “Panty-Free Fridays” at your house.
Love Letters

Okay, so this may not seem very original but put your own twist on them. Cut the letter up into puzzle-shaped pieces and have him piece it together. Have his friends and family write him letters about the things that they enjoy most about him.
Surprise party

Why? Because it’s Saturday! It will be more of a surprise if there isn’t a tangible reason for the party other than to have a good time.
Items that you can enjoy together

Instead of buying him presents that only he can enjoy, why not buy something for him that includes yourself? Unless it’s his birthday – then look into his favorite things. But try buying experiences (trips to the zoo, amusement park, a sporting event, etc.) instead, that way, the gift can help your relationship as well.
Surprise day trip

These are so much fun. Fill the tank, pack some road snacks, and find the best gas and destination apps that you can put on your phone. Spontaneous day trips are great ways to just let loose and have some fun.
Take a few boudoir photos for him

It’s something that he’ll treasure and love. Of course, that’s the romantic in me. In reality they will probably make him drop what he’s doing, sweep you off of your feet, and head straight for the bedroom.
Surprise Key Card

If you have a crazy, hectic family life, this may be the best thing for you and your man. Grab a sitter for a Saturday (or a day when you and your man both have the day off). Surprise him when he gets home from work with a key card to a nice hotel. When you get there, don’t plan to leave the room until your reservation is done.
Gas up his car

It’s not the most romantic gift, but it is a nice surprise – especially when he’s been having a tough week at work.
Fill the fridge with beer

I’m not talking about the entire fridge but grabbing a few six-packs of his favorites should suffice.
Do something that you hate

Not just anything, but something that he likes that you’re not too, ahem, thrilled about. If you’re not one for video games, join him for an afternoon. Putting forth that extra effort will make him happy. Who knows, he may reciprocate one day.
“Strangers in a bar”

I love to be able to surprise my man, especially after how long we’ve been together. Try this neat trick: grab a wig, a seductive outfit, and meet him in the living room. If you can woo him and add a little extra spice in your love life, then kudos to you.
Personalized gift basket

You can make this basket full of things that he likes or you can make it specifically for the bedroom.
Fixing up his favorite clothes

You know that holey shirt that he just won’t throw away? Or that college hoodie that he refuses to let go of? Instead of complaining about it, why not just fix it up for him.
Wake him up

And I don’t just mean throwing him out of bed or hitting him with a pillow. I mean, morning spicy time.
Create a Video for Him

It can be a hot dance. It can be a goofy music video. Just make sure that it brings a smile to his face.
Dedicate a Song for Him on the Radio
Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock
Make it the first song that you danced to on your wedding day. If he’s not that sappy, then make it something goofy like “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-A-Lot.
Make a Love Trail

How hot would it be for your man to come home to a love trail leading up to the bedroom.
Massage His Back

Sometimes that’s all it takes to make him feel better after a long day at work.
Send Him Flirty Texts All Day
Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock
You don’t have to get raunchy. Throw in some sexual innuendos and talk about how much you want him.
Dinner at His Favorite Restaurant

The twist? Order it out and bring it home to him so he can eat it in his pjs.
Leave Him a Honeydo List
Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock
Before you leave for work. Except, instead of making it a chore list, make it a list of things that he loves to do.
Leave Love Notes in His Pockets
Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock
Sure, some of them might end up in the wash, but he’ll love the ones that he does find.
Help Him Shave
Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock
It’s an exercise in trust. Really.
Bake Him a Cake
Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock
Why? Because you love him.
Hug and Kiss Him before He Leaves for Work
Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock
This should be something that you do every day, but for those who don’t, it’s a great habit to start.
Draw Funny Faces on the Eggs in the Fridge
Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock
It’s a bit childish, but if it gets him to smile, then you’ve done your job.
Reward His Chores with Make-Out Sessions
Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock
What married couple makes-out enough anymore? None of them, that’s what. It’s all cuddling on the couch while you watch Netflix. So pretend you’re dating again and have a make-out session on the couch.
Drop off a Treat for Him at His Office
Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock
Make it a homemade gift or his favorite cupcake from the bakery down the street.
Change His Desktop Screen to a Hot Picture of You
Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock
This is, of course, best if your kids and his friends don’t use his computer.
Bring Him a Cup of Coffee
Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock
It’s simple, but it’s sweet and thoughtful.
