Get her/him a gratitude rock!

If you have watch the movie THE SECRET then you already know what a gratitude rock is. If not it is a special rock that you give to someone to keep in their pocket. Whenever the touch it they are to think about the things in their life that they are very thankful for. The rock doesn't have to be anything special or you can take it home and shine it up, paint it before you give it to your special person. When you are ready to give it to your partner make a special presentation of the give to him/her. Wrap it up in a small jewelry box with soft tissue or cotton in the box to keep it from rattling. Once they open it make sure to explain it to them or you can even type up a little note and put it in the box for them to read. Once they have their gratitude rock you can rest assure that every time they touch it they will be thinking about you.

Use pet names on Christmas Tags

Want a great way to slow down the unwrapping of Christmas presents on Christmas day? Well don't use real names on the gift tags. You can use pet names or secret codes to make your love sort out who the present is for. Make up silly names that have some impact on your life things like, if your partner loves to ski then you could put Snow Bunny as the name of who the present is for. Not only does this slow down the day it also makes you be creative and think of things your partner likes. In turn this might help you pick out other gifts for you partner. Make sure you don't hint to the present inside, don't use the Snow Bunny name on a new pair of skis. Other things you can do is number the presents and have your partner have to figure out a math problem to see which presents are theirs. You can also put the name of a Christmas Carol in the place of the name and then sing that song when it is time for them to open up their present. If you have children in your life you can work them into this also by suggesting presents they should unwrap. You could say, "Open one with blue paper" or "Open one with a picture of Santa on it" to let them join in the fun. The point to all of this diversion is to make Christmas last a little longer and if you are anything like me you know that Christmas is one of the most romantic days of the year.

Worst Pick up lines ever!! (Click this title for more)

Guys we need to cut out the corny pick up lines. Never have I heard of a one-line opening that worked well. Especially the ones that jump straight into “I want to have sex with you” Do yourself and all the ladies out there a favor and introduce yourself and tell them you would like a chance to get to know them. If you get a phone number or some conversation congratulations you are doing wonderful. These corny pick up lines only get you punched or kicked in the groin so if you’re into the abuse thing here you go. Check out the link attached to the title of this post for some of the worst all time pick up lines in the history of modern dating. Below is in my opinion one of the worst of the worst.

“I may not be a Flintstone, but I can sure make your bed rock” Scary that someone would use that.

Give a late night call.

Have you ever laid awake thinking about the person you love. Well next time you are sitting their wondering about them, give them a little call. Pick up your phone call them and tell them you were thinking about them and just wanted to call and say Hi. Don't do this if you know they have to get up early the next day. Most likely they will feel great that you called and a smile will grace their face. This works great if you are on a business trip or away from home for a long period of time. Springing a call on a person at the spur of the moment tells them you really care and makes them realize that your mind is on them. You can even do this when you are in the same house if one of you stays up later then the other pick up your phone and call them just to tell them you love them. You will most likely get extra snuggles once you get into bed with them. Don't keep them on the phone long let them get back to sleep and there is a good chance they will dream about you.

Drive them wild with their favorite.

Want to really drive the person you care about wild. First thing you need to do is find a cologne or perfume that they absolutely love. Then when ever you are with them put a little on. Sure when you are going out together they will expect it but do it other times when they least expect it. Like right before getting into bed, or before you start watching a movie at home together. Don't over due it, just a little will do the trick. Put some on when you know the two of you are going to be close, like when the two of your are doing the laundry or doing other house work together. Another romantic thing to do is put a dab on their pillow when they are going to go to bed before you. They might not be able to sleep and will for some reason keep thinking of you. Put a little hint of the smell in their car before they leave for work or better yet do it while they are at work then they will smell your scent all the way home. The important thing here is to get them thinking about you and letting them know that you are thinking about them. If you try any of these suggestions let me know how they work out. I would love to hear your stories, email them to me a thecouplesspot@gmail.com

Looking for a Romantic Gift?

So you are looking for a romantic gift, one that says I really care about you but doesn't cost a lot of money. Well how about a nice pen set? You know they kind you don't just buy yourself. A really nice set that would look great on a desk. This way every time they use your pen they will think about you. What a lovely idea. This way even if they are doing bills or other things that are not so desirable they will still get the pleasure of thinking of you. Some places you can even get the engraved with a special message for you love. Things like "The pen is mightier then the sword" or "I love note written from you" Even just their name would be a nice touch. You can pick up said pens at most local stores or even order them online. I have included a link to a extreme pen store in the title of this post. You however do not need to spend $300 on a pen for your love a fraction of that price will get you the same effect.
