1. Bring flowers
2. Send a card
3. Make a card (then send it)
4. Have someone else deliver the card.
5. Deliver the card yourself.
6. Dress someone up and have them deliver the card (or flowers or gift).
7. Dress yourself up as someone else and deliver the card.
8. Leave it where you know your bride will find it. (Try her briefcase. Or under her pillow. Or in her pajama drawer, unless, of course, you're one of those lucky stiffs whose bride still doesn't wear pajamas….)
9. But where she absolutely won't expect it to be. (Try the freezer!)
10. Leave the card on her desk at work. This scores points because it requires a special trip, or special help.
11. Enlist the help of her boss or colleagues in whatever scheme you come up with. Get her boss to reschedule her meetings without her knowledge so you can kidnap her for lunch.
12. Make it a picnic lunch.
13. In a fancy schmancy hotel room.
14. Stay all afternoon. This probably won't take a lot of convincing if you've worked it out with her boss ahead of time.
15. Make the babysitter arrangements without her knowledge.
16. Hell, make them with her knowledge.
17. Plan a date. Make all of the decisions. Pick where you'll go, what you'll do, what she'll wear, what you'll do with the kids, how late you'll stay out.
18. Send her an e-mail with your wedding vows. [This means you have to remember them]
19. Or a Blue Mountain card (or hallmark e-mail, or whatever)
20. Propose to her.
21. Again.
22. Mean it.
23. Call her when you're out with the guys - just to tell her you miss her and you can't wait to see her.
24. Tell her you want to wrap your arms around her and just lay all over the bed with her. (You don't have to do this when you're out with the guys!)
25. When shopping for furniture, test the beds or the couches to see if you fit together. (My wife bought a couch that's a little too narrow for us to lay on together. So Sad!)
26. Make a point of noticing something small (she plucked her eyebrows; those shoes look good; she has nice calves; she changed her hair; she smells really wonderful)
27. Tell her what you noticed.
28. Tell someone else you think she's beautiful.
29. When you call her at work, ask the receptionist/phone answerer if your "beautiful wife" is around.
30. Introduce her as your "bride".
31. Introduce her as the love of your life.
32. Introduce her as your queen.
33. Offer to make a porno starring the two of you. (just offer.)
34. If she says, "Yes," to #33, do it. (Small tips: make sure the lighting's good. The minute she says, "I look fat", say, "No you don't, honey, you look hot!" If she says it again, turn the video off, erase it, and say, "You are not fat. We just need to do this with a better camera angle.)
35. Rub her feet.
36. Notice her feet. That means notice something wonderful about her feet. If her feet are really disgusting, use more oil or lotion for 35 and keep your big mouth shut.
37. Take her shopping for a really sexy, really expensive bra that fits. The key is "that fits." Otherwise, it's wasted dough and will sit in that drawer with all of the other stupid, slinky things you bought her that she doesn't wear.
38. Buy her a dress. Not something HOT, but something beautiful, that highlights her best features. (Hint: you may want to take her shopping with you. This is best if you surprise her with it, but you don't want to get something stupid (bridesmaids dress nightmares).
39. Send her to your favorite women's clothing store. Have a service person there set up with your credit card number and authorization to outfit her in something special.
40. Go shopping. Get her three or four things from three or four places and leave them in the stores. Have her stop by to pick them up, receiving a note at each place telling her where to go next. Then have her meet you somewhere. Sort of an adult scavenger hunt.
41. Go out for dinner.
42. Tell everyone (including the people at the restaurant) that it's your anniversary (even when it isn't).
43. When it isn't, work out how many days or weeks or months or hours you've been together and tell them it's that anniversary.
44. Have a picnic at home.
45. Read out loud to her. Try shakespeare ("Shall I compare thee") or e. e. cummings ("she being brand new" (if you're feeling racy…) or "somewhere I have never travelled, gladly beyond")
46. Serenade her.
47. Go the whole nine yards. Sing outside her window on a summer evening.
48. Sing her a karaoke song at the bar. Give it your all. The worst that can happen is that she'll laugh. She'll still probably give it up for you!
49. Take a swing dance class.
50. Don't let her lead. Lead her.
51. Blindfold her and drive her somewhere that's special for you both, or new to you both.
52. Blindfold her and touch her.
53. Undress her.
54. Slowly.
55. Light some candles.
56. Rip her clothes off and have your way. But only once in a great, great while, and only if she consents. The minute she gets scared, stop and just hold her.
57. Just hold her.
58. Do the dishes.
59. Make her dinner.
60. Cater dinner in.
61. Take her camping.
62. Bring only one sleeping bag.
63. Make sure it isn't too rustic.
64. Tell her you think she's way better looking than that girl. (don't lie!)
65. Run her a bath.
66. When she gets home from work, have a bath ready for her. Put the kids in bed and wash her yourself.
67. Being careful to spend some time rubbing her shoulders.
68. Wash her hair.
69. With or without the bath.
70. Day at the spa.
71. New hair-do.
72. Manicure.
73. Bikini wax.
74. Shave her yourself. (practice on you a lot first! You do not want to screw this up!)
75. Call her at work just because. (to tell her you love her, or you want her, or ….)
76. Give her a crackerjack ring.
77. Give her a real piece of jewelery.
78. Play with her hair.
79. Rent a chick movie. (Meet Joe Black. City of Angels. Chick movies you can live with!)
80. Rent a suspenseful movie (try Scream. Or Silence of the Lambs. Or Manhunter.)
81. Make the popcorn and chill the beer or wine.
82. Have her sit in front of you and rub her shoulders or back..
83. Do something she likes that you hate. Pretend you enjoy it. Just for a few minutes. She'll never make you do it again, and you'll score major league points.
84. Tell her you're sorry.
85. Let her win the argument.
86. Let her win at a board game.
87. Let her win at wrestling. (Wicked fun!)
88. Beat her at wrestling.
89. Read a novel together. (Not out loud, fool!)
90. Buy yourself some new underwear. Try to make it something that looks good on you, but is different from what you normally wear.
91. Go down on her.
92. Tell her you want her to tell you when it feels good. Whatever signal works for her.
93. Listen.
94. Listen.
95. Listen.
96. Turn the TV off when she starts a conversation or asks you a question.
97. Give up the TV one night to crawl into bed with her.
98. Teach her all about basketball. Explain patiently, cheer enthusiastically, and offer her great rewards for her knowledge (beginning with backrubs, foot massages, and trips to the kitchen.
99. Hey, don't expect things from her that you won't do yourself. (Performing oral sex is a prime example for many of the women I talk with. But this can be as simple as wearing decent underwear. (Am I obsessing about this?) If you want her to wear the sexy, matching stuff you buy for her, you have to wear something other than the tighty-whities that she always makes fun of. And I suggest finding out what she finds comfortable and finding beautiful, sexy, expensive, frilly stuff that fits that mold (i.e. that fits and feels good.)
100. Leave a racy voice mail for her. (Though you should make sure that she doesn't listen to her voice mail on speakerphone with lots of people around….)
101. Hand her flowers as she's walking down the street. (You have to follow her around to make this work.)
102. Stop and buy her flowers when you're out together.
103. Breakfast in bed.
104. Order some of those fortune cookies with your messages inside from ---.
105. Write her a poem.
106. Go on a date.
107. Go on a first date. Tell her to meet you somewhere public, like a bar. Watch her for a while from across the bar. When she spots you, go up and introduce yourself like you've never met her before. Keep up the charade for a while and ask her things you've always wanted to know (and would ask a first date.)
108. Drive her to and/or pick her up from work.
109. Give her a trashy, romantic novel.
110. Recreate a scene from it.
111. Talk to her about sex. Ask her what makes her feel good. Ask her what would make her enjoy it more.
112. If you're really close and have a really good relationship, buy her a vibrator. If the "If" isn't there, don't do this. There are too many chances for it to be misunderstood.
113. Ask her to tell you a fantasy. If she won't, ask her to write it down.
114. Make it come true. (George Clooney probably won't come over!)
115. Plan and prepare dinner for her.
116. Make her dinner (meaning she is your dinner!)
117. Cook her a regressive dinner. Serve dessert first, then entrée, then a first course.
118. Take her to one of those swanky, black tie, charity events.
119. Stop in the middle of a conversation with someone else and just gaze at her, taking in her beauty. Tell her, or your conversation partner, what happenend, that you were just taken aback by her beauty.
120. Stop in the middle of a conversation with her and just gaze at her, taking in her beauty. Tell her what happenend, that you were just taken aback by her beauty.

122. Give someone she doesn't know a picture of her and some flowers and have them deliver the flowers.
123. Turn off the tv.
124. Bake her cookies. Her favorite.
125. Or heart-shaped sugar cookies.
126. Mail them to her.
127. Send her a postcard.
128. Send one every day when you're away.
129. Send one every day the week before your anniversary.
130. Buy her a new purse.
131. Put something fun inside (new panties, tickets to a show, a hotel key.)
132. Send her a letter.
133. Get her an autograph from her favorite star.
134. Put something she really loves on e-bay for sale and buy it for her.
135. Send her a beautiful book anonymously (through any of the web booksellers).
136. Send her any nice gift anonymously.
137. Call her the next day.
138. Send her flowers the next day.
139. Kiss her. (Have a mint first.)
140. Just kiss her. For ten whole minutes. Do nothing but kiss and hold her.
141. Give her a watch. Tell her that you'll think of her every day at a certain time. Then do it. After a couple of days, call her at exactly that time. Then do it again after a couple more days. (use the recurring appointment feature in your Palm enabled PDA to remind you.)
142. Involve her when you scam looks at other women. Carefully. Even if she's the jealous type, it will make her feel more confident. Admitting that you look, but being only with her, is a dynamite ego boost. You must do this with care. Best to enter into it by saying, "What do you think of that?" or "Nice dress."
143. Surprise her, in a nice way, in whatever way you can think of.
144. Get rid of the kids for an evening. Do nothing but open a bottle of wine and talk about all your biggest dreams.
145. Make a list together of all of the things you want to do while you're on the earth.
146. Trade fantasies. Remember what she tells you.
147. Ask her if she would like for you to…. (shave her, go down on her, any number of suggestive ideas). Just the thought will make her a little bit crazy.
148. Execute a day or two later.
149. Learn to ride a motorcycle. Borrow one and surprise her with an evening out. Don't do this too often unless this is ok with your s/o. (Mine is a trauma nurse, so I'll never own a bike….)
150. Talk about who you might involve in a three way. Again, you have to be careful about this. Better to let her make the suggestions of females. Think of men she might dig. Don't be jealous. She'll likely get excited enough talking about it to separate herself from her panties.
151. Learn to play a musical instrument. Chicks dig musicians. Guitar is a good bet. You can learn a few tunes relatively quickly.
152. Stay at a Bed & Breakfast. (You can find them almost anywhere.)
153. In a romantic place. (This takes a little more homework.)
154. Stay overnight in a motel.
155. Buy her jewelry. I have no idea how this ended up so far down on the list!
156. Return to the days of chivalry.
157. Hold doors for her (and for everyone - use the 5 step rule: He or she who is no more than about 5 steps behind you should have the door held by you.)
158. Get her car door, too. When you walk around with a woman to her side of the car, she'll be confused, then grateful when you get her door.
159. Help her on with her coat. Women know how to deal with this from trying on clothes. It will take some practice, so start practicing. And remember to lift her hair out from under her collar (she will find this especially wonderful.)
160. Offer her your arm when you go in and out of places.
161. Push her chair in for her.
162. Get her a gift certificate for shoes.
163. Build her a special place to store all those shoes.
164. If you have a strong will and a lot of patience, take her shoe shopping. When the salesperson brings out shoes for her to try, you place them on her feet.
165. Write her a check for a million kisses
166. or an hour of foreplay
167. or dinner out.
168. Make a creative sign to put in place of the dollar sign.
169. Don't forget to cross out the word "dollars" on the check and replace it with whatever!
170. Hire a professional to give her a massage. &91;Not that kind of professional, dude!&93;
171. Make her some "Love Coupons"
172. Just pick up the phone and call her, please.
