Such surprises always speak of feelings. They are especially appropriate on Valentine's Day or on relationship dates. Hearts are made of papier-mâché, salt dough, clay or various other cardboard-based materials.
- Box with declarations of love. Cut 100 strips of colored paper, write a compliment on them to the guy and twist with a tube. Fold all the bundles in one box and tie them together with a beautiful ribbon. Sign it somehow romantic, for example, "100 reasons for my love for you."
- Checkbook with wishes. Take a small rectangular notebook that is similar in size to a checkbook. Write on all pages the desires your boyfriend may have.This may be such inscriptions as “a trip to bowling with friends,” “dance for a loved one,” “going to football,” “a bottle of beer.” From time to time, the beloved will take one check at a time with a desire that will be fulfilled.
- Dance as a gift. It is easier for someone to convey their feelings for a loved one in a strip or twerk, and for someone in a belly dance. The latter will look incredibly enchanting if you light candles and aroma lamps in the room, create a mysterious atmosphere and turn on captivating music.
- Cardboard photo album. Make it easier than a regular photo album. To do this, you just need to get a long narrow sheet of cardboard, fold it with an accordion and stick photos on it. Turn the first and last sheet into a cover - you can stick leatherette or other dense decorative material on them. And also take care of the ties so that the accordion does not open until they want to open it.
- Love letter. It is very pleasant to receive a message with declarations of love from a girl dear to her heart. Tell us what exactly you like about him, describe his merits - men are always pleased to hear praise. Let this letter be a surprise that he will keep and reread with pleasure.
