• Meet your lover after work with packed luggage in hand and whisk him/her away on a weekend getaway without telling where you're going.

• To all you native New Yorkers: take a week's vacation and see Manhattan from a tourist's perspective. Visit the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Rockerfeller Center, United Nations, museums, art galleries, Harlem, South Street Seaport, Times Square, theme restaurants and all the other places you haven't visited since you went on that grade school class trip. You've lived here all your life and you know you haven't done it.
  
• Rent a limousine and go to that expensive restaurant you've been dying to try.
  
• Announce to your lover that tomorrow will be their special day. Treat them to a day of pampering which includes all their favorite things and don't let them lift a finger all day.
  
• Take your lover on a picnic - not a ham sandwich and Coke picnic, but one with some class. How about an intimate breakfast in a scenic park? Set a rose in a bud vase on a blanket and indulge in mimosas, quiche, fruit salad drizzled with amaretto, croissants and gourmet coffee. Such fare speaks of elegance and shows your partner that you actually spent time planning something out of the ordinary.
  
• Take out a full page ad in your local newspaper declaring your undying love for your sweetie. Or better yet, contact a company that will create a custom newspaper for you. You will write your own articles, personals, headline and horoscope so your honey will know what's in store for them that day ;-)
