Spoiling Your Sweetie

© Michele KayD

'Tis the season . . . if not to be jolly, then at least to be a bit romantic! These chilly days of late fall and early winter provide the perfect setting for snuggling, cuddling, and yes, spoiling your sweetie! So, this week, I propose spreading a little loving cheer to your special someone. Take a break from the holiday stress-overload, and concentrate instead, at least for one day (or evening), on pleasing and/or pampering your partner.

Spoiling suggestions:

give a foot, back, or full-body massage to your mate after a long day of shopping or work

prepare a special "care package" — fill it with items such as bubble bath, candles, massage oil, wine, gourmet finger foods, etc. . . .

arrange a surprise weekend getaway just for the two of you

share a story or movie snuggled up in front of the cozy fireplace

prepare breakfast, lunch, or dinner in bed — be sure to join your sweetheart under those covers

"warm" your lover's car before he/she goes out

light a candle or so, put on some soft tunes, and slow dance right in the living room — or wherever the urge strikes!
