6. Commission a piece of art

Budget: $100 or more, depending on the artist and medium
Perfect timing: Dating for one year or more
How romantic: Very romantic
Hire a local artist to create a work of art just for your man. It can be a painting, drawing, jewelry, a sculpture, even a set of photographs depicting your love and commitment. Present it to him on an otherwise unimportant day, not a birthday or anniversary or holiday. Work closely with the artist to make sure the piece is personal and meaningful, and make sure it’s signed and dated by the artist. Write a simple, romantic note to go along with it.
