1.      Make a CD with your partner’s favorite songs on it and use a favorite picture to decorate the inside of the jewel case. 

 

OR draw or cut out pictures that have personal significance to you to create the CD graphics.  Then leave it on the seat in their car or on their desk.

 

2.      Take pictures of yourself, or have a friend help you take the pictures.  You can get silly and take pictures in funny poses or clothes, or you can be very romantic and seductive in the shots and take the pictures at romantic locations you’ve visited or even holding a magazine or picture of a place you both think is romantic. 

 

Then slip these pictures into the places and things that touch your partner’s life (the refrigerator, a briefcase or purse, a drawer in the bedroom, under a paperweight, under a magnet on the refrigerator, in a cupboard inside a favorite coffee cup.

 

3.      Play Twister!  Be sure you have a bottle of Schnapps or a nice bottle of wine to keep you limber and increase the fun!

 

4.      Bake a heart-shaped meat loaf and surround it with mashed potatoes.  Draw an arrow and point in the mashed potatoes so that the arrow goes through the heart shaped meat loaf.  Make the arrow out of small chunks of tomato or kidney beans.

 

5.      Create a romantic scavenger hunt for your partner by leaving notes and clues in their office or at home. 

 

The last clue should lead them to you at a restaurant, or in another room at home, where you will be waiting with a romantic snack like chocolate covered strawberries and champagne or at a table in a restaurant with a great appetizer and bottle of wine waiting for them to arrive.
