Breakfast in Bed? Maybe.

One suggestion that appears repeatedly in the search for advice on how to be more romantic is to surprise your sweetheart with breakfast in bed.

This sounds like fun, but there may be some problems.

Cute Little Things

There are so many little ways to be affectionate and romantic on a daily basis. And if you can be cute at the same time -- go for it!

The heart shape is a classic symbol of love. Even a grocery list will seem friendly when it's written on something like this. These are sticky on the back, so you can leave friendly comments just about anywhere.

If all hearts all the time is just too much, mixing it up with flowers and speech balloons adds an extra element of surprise.

Making heart-shaped pancakes and eggs doesn't take any extra time, and is a great way to start the morning. The kids will love these. I tried a pan with heart-shaped depressions, but it was impossible to flip the pancakes. This is easier because you can just lift the forms up.

I haven't yet bought any duct tape roses for my husband. But I think this is a hilarious idea, and perfect for the manly do-it-yourselfer in your life.
