In a relationship, showing romantic gestures is a great way to keep the spark alive and make your partner feel happy. Romantic gestures do not necessarily have to be grand, even the smallest gestures make people feel loved.
If you are looking to plan a romantic gesture for your partner, you are at the right place. In this blog, you will learn some underrated but romantic gestures that can help make your partner feel special.
Romantic Gestures To Surprise Your Partner
A romantic gesture does not have to be expensive. All it needs is to be thoughtful. Here are a few gestures that will surely make your partner happy:
Flowers
Nowadays, people have forgotten the old-school trick of surprising their partners with flowers. Getting your partner flowers without any reason makes them happy.
If you give them flowers it shouldn’t only be on special occasions such as birthdays, or anniversaries. You could pick up some flowers from a store and add a cute note saying how those flowers are as beautiful as your partner, or that the smell of the flowers reminded you about them.
However, if you wish to make this gesture special, you can make DIY flowers out of paper. These gifts are thoughtful and will never die, unlike store-bought flowers.
Some people believe that only guys give flowers to girls. However, that should not be the case. Flowers are a gift that is loved by all!
Handwritten Letters
In today’s digital world, we can send messages to people within seconds. Many couples even send romantic messages to their partner; however, it is not the same as writing handwritten letters.
Handwritten letters are more thoughtful as they are personalised. Additionally, you can make it extra special by adding a vintage look to your letter by burning the sides and painting the paper slightly brown. All these little things show effort. Moreover, you can write your feelings, thoughts, and promises you wish to share with your partner.

Handmade Gifts
As mentioned above, surprising your partner does not have to be expensive. If you wish to give your partner a gift, you can opt for handmade ones. Handmade gifts are thoughtful, personalised, and romantic.
When you make something for your partner it shows that you think about them and love them to put in effort. These little efforts show that you care for your partner which makes them feel loved and appreciated.
Some simple handmade gift ideas are:
a) Reasons I love you
Take a small box or a jar and fill it in with many different things you love about your partner. Moreover, you can decorate the box or jar with a ribbon and gift wrap it!
b) Date jar
In a jar write down cute date ideas, and whenever you wish to plan a date, you can pick one out of the jar. This will create curiosity as to what date your partner and you will go on next, and this can be quite exciting.
c) Paper craft
Another simple yet romantic handmade gift idea is to create a DIY gift out of easily available materials such as coloured paper. You can create anything your partner likes.

d) Photo collage
Take a printout of all photos of you and your partner and make a cute collage of it. These images could consist of your best memories, your favourite pictures, your date nights, etc. Moreover, you can put them in a frame and gift it to your partner.
Creating A Playlist
I feel that creating a playlist for your significant other is quite underrated. The best part about it is it requires minimal effort and one of the most thoughtful gestures.
For this, you can compile all different love songs which remind you of your partner, or songs that both you and your partner love.
Surprise Date
Another cute idea is to plan a surprise date for your partner. Ask your partner to get dressed and don’t tell them about the plan, lead the date in the way you planned it, for example – a romantic dinner, and having ice cream with a long walk alongside the beach. The idea is both romantic and thoughtful and will allow you to spend quality time with your partner. Moreover, you can even plan an activity you both enjoy such as ice skating, go-karting, arcade, etc.
The act of planning a date and surprising your partner is not quite popular. However, it allows your partner to enjoy the element of surprise while enjoying quality time together. Additionally, it removes the complication of planning while your partner can simply enjoy the date.
Surprise Delivery
When your partner is feeling low, tired, upset, or sick, you can surprise your partner with a small care package, it could be their favourite meal, self-care hamper, etc. These small surprises will help your partner feel better and distract them from whatever is bothering them. Moreover, this idea is also suitable for those in long-distance relationships.
Pamper Them
Another way to surprise your partner is to pamper them. For example, your partner may have had a stressful day at work and is extremely tired. You can take the initiative to cook them a nice meal, give them a massage, or go out for ice cream together. While this is an effortless gesture, it will surely make your partner appreciate it and make them extremely happy.
