Go Beyond Gifts<\/h3>\n
Material gifts are great \u2014 but experiences often leave a deeper mark. Plan an activity he\u2019s always wanted to try. Book a couple\u2019s massage. Arrange a staycation. Rent a private karaoke booth and sing that one sappy song. The key is personalization. The more \u201chim\u201d it feels, the more impact it makes.<\/p>\n
Sexy Surprises Done Right<\/h2>\n
If you want to turn up the heat, surprise him with something sensual \u2014 but make sure it\u2019s within his comfort zone.
