Bring out the romantic in you! Try surprising your man with these easy to make and frugal romantic gift ideas. He’ll be glad you invested some time in making him something special!
1. Naughty jar
You could fill up a glass jar with paper chits. In each chit mention one romantic aspect of your relationship. You could get imaginative and write down some naughty things as well! Once it’s made just ask him to pick one chit out every morning and read it before going to office!
2. Treasure hunt!
We bet you played treasure hunt when you were kid. Well then you know the rules of the game! Just place one clue in a place where he’ll find it in the morning. That clue should lead him to another place where he will find the next clue. Your link of clues should lead him to the hidden gift! Great way to keep him guessing!
3. Call his friends over!
Maybe he wants his birthday to be a quiet affair – after all he’s grown up and all! But who doesn’t like a surprise birthday bash? So go ahead and call his friends but keep it a surprise. Then watch his jaw drop as he sees his friends call out ‘Happy Birthday’ when he comes through the door!
4. Write a poem!
This one’s a little tricky but it’s possible! Even if you are not a poetic genius with a little imagination it is possible. Just be honest and write it from your heart. It doesn’t even have to rhyme!
5. Cook him his favourite meal!
This one’s a classic way to please your man! Try cooking up his favourite meal. Look up on the Net for free recipes or if you have a cookbook at home get creative in the kitchen! Then watch him eat merrily away!



These ideas are really great. Especially I like Treasure Hunt, the First Kiss idea and romantic getaway:)
the best gift for man is recognition from women
These are great ideas. Maybe you can add doing the laundry for him. Isnt that romantic as well?
I love baking so I baked a birthday cake for my boyfriend. He was really pleased and was very proud of me.
That’s ridiculous. All a man wants on his birthday is a couple beers, a steak and a blowjob. End of.
Oh, come on Jon, there is got to be some place for romance in a man’s life too! Don’t tell me you would not like to hear 100 compliments in a row :)
Men sometimes are just scared of showing their emotions. Am I right Jon?
I’m going to try all of these
These are so romantic…my favourite is the naughty jar!!!
This is such a great post…even for single people…it’s good tips on what to do once you’ve met that special someone:)
i have to agree with Jon.
“Oh, come on Jon, there is got to be some place for romance in a man’s life too! Don’t tell me you would not like to hear 100 compliments in a row :)”
Wouldn’t you get bored? and i don’t think you would be able to think of 100 positive things anyway.
“Men sometimes are just scared of showing their emotions. Am I right Jon?”
i wouldn’t say so, women just don’t let men show their emotions
Some of the ideas are kinda stupid, like the fortune cookie one, i would piss my self if my girlfriend made me fortune cookies
I have to agree, those are nice and romantic gestures and i think any man would apreciate it BUT nothing beats a blowjob for your birthday. add a beer or two to the equation and you got yourself a winning recipe. sorry girls, just being real.
The best gift my girlfriend could ever give me was a sweet smile, I’ve always loved that smile of hers =] Yup, little things like that matter to me the most. which ever, i love my Girl no matter what! True love, Speaks the truth.
Everyone’s different so try to mix it up a little to whatever you and your lover enjoy the most. (Wait a min,i ma guy… WHY AM I HERE?!) =000…. *vanishes*
I have to agree with the guys… the cute kinda stuff is okay. but if i had to listen to 100 things about me, id just walk away. and girls, would YOU like a blow job and a pina colada on your bday and call it a night?
i liked this a lot!
and it really gave me wonderfull ideas.
my boyfriends birthday is coming up so im doing a lot of different things to make it special :)
Bwahahaha these are hilarious. I think we did the compliments jar for my grandparents one year. They loved it.
I agree with the BJ crew. So far, pretty much every guy has been like, BJs! All the girls are trying to make us fortune cookies. Things that come out of Cosmo do not work in real life.
What about a fortune cookie that says “you will get a blowjob.” ?
LOL I laughed at the the quiet time talking lol. For a birthday gift is that a present for him or for me. I don’t know maybe i am the type of woman that thinks words sometimes are overated and Bj’s can be romantic especially when he doesn’t know he’s getting it but maybe that is for another site.
HAHAHA, is this written by a woman? Please ladies do not follow this advice, I feel like these are great gifts ideas for a husband to give to his wife NOT a wife to give to her husband. I can see myself getting some of these for my birhtday with and wiht a huge fake smile, saying, what a great idea! I love you so much BABY! I will keep these in mind for my wife’s birthday!
I agree that you DO NOT need to spend money, but, speaking from the heart, most men want three things to have a great birthday: 1) Sex, 2) A good meal (Cooking him a meal is a double plus, even if it isnt that good!), 3) Some peace and quiet. Now if you guy is more the party and drinking type, switch 3 to party or night on the town with his friends. But, my god, I cannot think of worse gift then no watching TV or going out and just “talking.” I talk to my wife everyday. As one other commenter said “just keeping it real.”
i think every guy is different, and ladies know their men. so do what you think and know he will love. i know my boyfriend would love it if i gave him 100 compliments.!
