I need small romantic ideas for a woman, early 40s. I just need little things that will brighten her day. Cards and flowers get old and loose their impact if done too often. I would like to find things I can do, make, or buy for the woman I love to let her know that I am thinking about her and that I love her. What can I do? thx

Cook a special meal. Rub her feet. Rent a movie she will like and actually watch it with her. Ask about her day. Listen to what she says. Don’t try to solve a problem unless asked.
take her places if shes athletic bring her to her favorite teams game or if she likes to dance then learn to dance for her (even if u already no how to dance u can always learn something new) so take a dance class
pick her up at her house and take her for a drive to a park/beach, but tell her to keep her eyes closed on the way. when you get there pull out a blanket and some wine. sit under the stars or listen to the waves crash.
if you know she has an appointment at a hair salon/nail place/doctors office, show up there and greet her with her favorite flowers.
go with her in a romantic weekend, don`t tell her where just go with the flow
just show up at her work….surprise her and then take her out for lunch…u dont really have to buy things for most women just be with them and pay attention to them thats really all they want!
