If you want to make this day special for your better half and show him how much you adore him, take a peek at these ideas on how to surprise your hub bub this Valentine’s Day.

20 Best Surprise Valentine’s Day Ideas For Your Husband

V-Day Idea #1. Breakfast In Bed

In the morning before he is out of bed, cook up some heart-shaped pancakes, eggs, hash browns, freshly squeezed orange juice, and bacon — a delicious traditional breakfast that you can serve him. If you are not a decent cook or would like to enjoy the morning cuddling in bed with your hubby instead of cooking, order in breakfast.

V-Day Idea #2. Spruce Up His Car

Make him get an Uber to work so that you can take his car to a garage for some sprucing up. Get it washed, cleaned, and waxed so that it looks its very best when hubby gets home. Do something extra to make it look even nicer, such as adding paint protection, tinting the windows, or getting windshield protection.

V-Day Idea #3. Plan A Once-In-A-Lifetime Experience

Plan something extraordinary this year that will promise you both a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You can take him base jumping, skydiving, to a renowned amusement park, in a hot air balloon, or race-car driving. Whatever you plan to do, make sure it is be something he has expressed interest in at some point in time. If you sign up for skydiving, but he is afraid of heights, it won’t be a pleasant surprise for him. Instead, go for something you know he will surely enjoy.

V-Day Idea #4. Send A Surprise Gift

No matter how much they pretend that it is not the case, guys adore surprise gestures and gifts. Sending chocolates and flowers to your hubby’s workplace would be the ideal way to surprise him. If you feel that chocolates and flowers will not go that well with your guy, send him a gift that you know he will love, like a coffee mug, home-baked cookies, or a personalized T-shirt.

V-Day Idea #5. Plan A Getaway Trip

Your hubby will surely love some alone time with you, so plan a fabulous weekend getaway for you and him. If money is not a problem, book a vacation to someplace you both have always dreamed of going to. If money is tight, book a room in an affordable hotel. You can also search for discounts. It doesn’t really matter if the hotel doesn’t offer five-star accommodations. Your husband will love to spend quality time with you, no matter where you go.

V-Day Idea #6. Write Love Notes And Leave Them Around

An extremely cute but meaningful surprise would be writing notes to him, talking about things you adore about him. Put them inside his cereal box, in his wallet next to his credit cards, in his briefcase, inside his shoes, on the windshield of his car, within his sandwich, and anywhere else he may have access to during the day. Collect the notes and put them all in a scrapbook to look at later.

V-Day Idea #7. Set Up A Romantic Treasure Hunt

When your hubman gets home from the office, surprise him and hand him a clue to a treasure hunt you have set up. You may take him to various important points in your relationship, such as your first kiss, the first date, the proposal, etc. The final treasure can be whatever you want it to be, though we do recommend sexy lingerie – with you in it.

V-Day Idea #8. Give Him What He Has Always Wanted

Your hubby has probably hinted sometime about something he really wants. Something he has been pining for – it could be a fitness booster, a tech gadget, a car service — whatever it may be, it will mean a great deal to him if you get that thing for him on Valentine’s Day.

V-Day Idea #9. Treat Him Like A King For A Day

Spend the entire Valentine’s Day anticipating what he wants. It will blow his mind completely! Make his favorite breakfast. Think about it – what would he like to see when he comes back home? If he would write down how his perfect day would be, what would he put on the list? Think about it carefully and then try to do as many things on that list as you possibly can.

V-Day Idea #10. Recreate Your First Date

You and your hubby probably look back on the first time you went on a date with fond memories, as it was this day that led to this life-long relationship. Recreate your first date with your husband and show off your romantic side to him this Valentine’s Day. This will keep the spark alive in your relationship, and you will realize how far you guys have come since that first date.

V-Day Idea #11. Dedicate A Song To Him On The Radio

A classic, but something he would never expect! However, it will require some careful planning and possibly calling your local radio station over and over, but think about how much it will mean to him when he hears his name mentioned on the FM. Make sure he is listening to the radio precisely when your song comes on.

V-Day Idea #12. Make Coupons For Things He Loves

Create a coupon book for your hubby filled with things he adores. This is an awesome gift because you can personalize it especially for him. If he loves getting massages, make and give him a coupon for that. If he loves his car, give him a coupon for a service on his car. He will adore the coupons made for him specifically – they are personal and cute.

V-Day Idea #13. Candlelit Dinner

Tell your hubby you are going to make Valentine’s Day reservations at a diner, but instead of doing that, set up a candlelit dinner at home. Line the way from your door to the dining table with flower petals, preferably rose petals. Light tall, red candlesticks on the table and dim the lights. Arrange for some bubbly with dinner. If you don’t feel like cooking, there’s no shame in ordering a nice dinner in. You can still spend some quality time with him and make it special.

V-Day Idea #14. Do Something He Loves

Every man has a hobby – something he likes doing that his wife doesn’t enjoy doing. For a special surprise for Valentine’s Day, give your hubby some alone time to do that. Whether it is playing poker with the guys, watching the game on TV, or playing golf at the local green, giving him some time for himself may be a great surprise. Even better, join him and watch him smile with glee.

V-Day Idea #15. Create A Videogram

If you want to be a little more personal than writing a letter, make a videogram for your husband. You can record yourself (and maybe even the kids) telling him why you love him so much and why he’s such a great husband and father. Once you’re all done, email it to him while he’s at work, or put it on instead of a movie that he thinks he’s going to watch. He’ll be so surprised by the kind words and he’ll love seeing your faces as you tell him that you love him.

V-Day Idea #16. Mail A Love Letter To His Work

Everyone loves getting mail, so why not send your husband a handwritten letter? Of course, you could send it to your home, but imagine how fun it would be to send it to his work for him to receive in the middle of the day. He’ll be completely surprised and it will certainly brighten his day. It will give him the opportunity to think of you and appreciate you while he’s at work.

V-Day Idea #17. Make His Favorite Dessert

We all know that the key to a man’s heart is food, and better yet, dessert! A sweet little Valentine’s gesture this holiday would be to make his favorite dessert for him. It’ll be a special treat that he might not get very often, and even if he does get treated to it often, he’ll still love it. It’s a labor of love that’ll certainly make his heart and tummy happy.

V-Day Idea #19. Make A DIY Card

Instead of buying an impersonal card this Valentine’s Day, make your hubby a card. There are so many great templates on the internet for DIY cards. You can find funny ones, as well as sentimental ones. Be sure to personalize it with a handwritten note as to why you love him so much to make it all the more meaningful.

V-Day Idea #20. Buy Tickets To A Show

Does your better half love the movies or have a fascination for sports or a passion for music? Whatever it is, we can guarantee that he will absolutely love to receive tickets for an upcoming event on Valentine’s Day. Take his personality into account as you browse through upcoming events.
