6 Creative Ways to Surprise Your Husband on the Holiday Season
Marriages, the good ones, often take a lot of work and
commitment. Two people who show their love and devotion to each other make
their married life together a bliss, despite the obstacles and challenges. This
holiday season, grand gestures and beautiful presents are in order.
Both the husband and the wife should go the extra mile to
put a smile on each other’s faces. If flowers, chocolates, and even a good book
can melt a woman’s heart, a man has his own weaknesses too. And what better way
to let your beloved man know how much he means to you than by giving him a
wonderful surprise.
Let Him Experience a Scavenger
Hunt
Many men love an adventure, and if your husband is one of
them, then organizing a scavenger hunt will tickle his fancy. You can do it at home, in the
backyard, or the nearby picnic field. The hunt can be themed to make it more
fun and exciting.
There are plenty of themes that you can choose from,
including a good old treasure hunt, Christmas, or pirate adventure. This will
help you pick the list of tasks and clues easier. Just make sure that the gift
is worth all the trouble.
Let Him Solve His Prize
Presenting the gift is as much fun as the gift itself.
Make him work for it by giving him a customized jigsaw puzzle to solve. His
brain cells will welcome the challenge as he puts the pieces back together and
finds his prize.
You can be as creative as you want to be, but the best way
to pull this off is by revealing his gift in the puzzle. It can be a ticket to
his favorite football team or a picture of a beautiful destination. His joy at
unveiling his prize will make the effort worth it.
Leave Him a Note
A surprise does not have to be filled with action and
burning brain cells. It can still be a wonderful gift revelation even if you
use subtlety. Leaving notes in the most unlikely places like the bathroom sink or
inside his briefcase can still be a sweet gesture, especially if you make the
note witty and heartwarming at the same time.
Better yet, try putting pieces of notes inside a bouquet
of balloons, and present it to him once he gets home. Imagine his face as he
bursts each one and assembles the notes. This is the most suitable form of
surprise if you are getting him a gift card or giving him cash to buy something
he has always meant to save up for, like the newest installation of his
favorite video game or the latest gadget.
Give Him the Experience of a
Lifetime
Nothing can beat an experience when it comes to any gift.
Why not arrange a trip for you and your husband this holiday season? It can be
a Mediterranean cruise or a weekend at the Caribbean.
If he has an adventurous soul, you can let him try
something for the first time. There are packages for skydiving or paragliding
that will give him all the thrill he needs. To make it more memorable, ask for
one with a videographer to capture this moment forever.
Have the Package Delivered to Your
Doorstep
The simple yet effective kind of surprise of having the
gift delivered to your doorstep can still work like a dream, especially if your
husband works from home. Arrange for a courier to deliver your husband’s
wrapped present to your house.
You can even make it more enjoyable by asking one of his
closest friends to dress as Santa Claus. He will be delighted to receive his
gift in an unconventional way, especially if the gift is unique and useful.
A barber box is a vintage collection that will turn your
grizzly pal into the sophisticated man he can be, perfect if you are planning
to take him out to a special dinner in the evening. Gadget accessories and
organizer are also something to consider.
Do the Fake-Out Packaging Gimmick
This is old but still gold. Remember the gifts wrapped in
big boxes and, when you open one, you will find a slightly smaller box and so
on and so forth? Well, this trick can still pull off a good surprise.
Be creative with the boxes and wrap them nicely. His
frustration and impatience will be apparent as one box gives way to another
box, but if you have thought of a valuable gift to give him, he won’t even mind
the stunt.
Make the present meaningful by getting him something
symbolic. It can be a
new wedding band that will
celebrate your life together, especially if you have reached the ten, twenty or
fifty years’ milestone.
Some Fun and Excitement
Living with each other and going through routine for years
and years can be monotonous, but you can always do something to bring the spark
and excitement into your marriage by making something as ordinary as giving
holiday gifts into wonderful surprise.
Believe in your resourcefulness and creative spirit, and
everything will turn out well. It will be an unforgettable gesture for your
husband, who will appreciate your effort and fall in love with you even more.
What man wouldn’t if you can go to such lengths for a gift?
