They always say the way to a guy’s heart is through his stomach, but we think that’s a little unfair for the ladies. Every gal deserves a sweet, delicious treat, and you can make her day, week, or month with the right scrumptious surprises. If you’re in need of some ideas, read on and figure out how you can really blow her away for any special occasion, or for a “just because” surprise she’ll never see coming.
A Basket of Treats
A delicious basket filled with fun goodies from Shari’s Berries will definitely bring a smile to any woman’s face, and you can choose from a variety of themes to give her one that she’s sure to enjoy. Whether it’s organic fruits and nuts, chocolate dipped berries, or even a decadent Mrs. Fields’ basket, a delivery of one of these bad boys to her office is definitely going to make her the envy of all of her coworkers—and score you some major romance points. With any luck there will be some left over and you can enjoy right along with her.
A Homemade Meal
If you’d rather do something out of the norm and really surprise her, consider pulling out all the stops for a delicious homemade meal. Even if you’re not the most experienced of chefs, the effort and time are sure to be appreciated. Leave work a couple of hours early if you can, and head over to get everything set up early. Light the candles, set the table, and dress up in your best to really blow her mind.
A Childhood Memory
You’ll have to go the extra mile for this idea, guys. Call up your lady’s mom or dad, or grandma or aunt—whoever really—and get a recipe from your best gal’s childhood. Ask her family member to keep it a surprise, and you’ll really shock your girlfriend when she gets home and discovers your efforts. Whether it’s a dessert that she had every birthday, or her mom’s special macaroni and cheese, your thoughtfulness will gain you points with your lady and her family in one fell swoop.
Her Favorite Restaurant
Does she have a favorite restaurant? If she does, call ahead and make reservations. There are various ways you can make the regular restaurant date feel more special. Go old school debonair, and give her the star-studded treatment. If they have a private room, book it. Lay out a new dress and necklace on the bed that you think she’ll love (enlist the help of her bestie if fashion is not your forte) and tell her to put it on. Have champagne ready and make sure she knows money is no object—this is a splurge gift for sure.
Special Delivery
If she texts you that she’s having a hard day at work, provide a bit of brightness with a delicious surprise delivery. Show up with a bag of her favorite foods and have lunch together. If you can’t get away from work, have her favorite restaurant or fast food joint delivered straight to her desk with a service like Door Dash. Tell her to be in the office at the designated time and wait for her call of thanks.
The Libation Lover
If your lady loves beer, then you’ve got a few more scrumptious options to choose from. You can sign her up for a monthly delivery of worldwide brewed beers. When each delivery comes, you two can spend the night sampling and laughing—a pre-designated date night that she will adore. If your lady loves to experiment in the kitchen, consider buying her an at-home brewing kit. You can laugh together while brewing up your very own hops concoction.
Breakfast in Bed
Who doesn’t love a good breakfast in bed? In the winter months when getting out from under the covers sounds like the hardest task in the world, help her out while bring some delicious nutrition straight to her. Set your alarm and get up without her knowing if possible, then create the best breakfast possible. Find a breakfast tray table, set with a vase and flower, and wake her up gently with the best morning surprise.
The special lady in your life deserves special treatment, so make her day with a surprise delivery of one of her favorite treats and have her eating like a queen.
