Your anniversary or your partner’s birthday is coming up and you’ve run out of ideas. It’s hard to surprise your loved one with an original gift, but it’s worth trying to break the mould. The classic flowers, chocolates or teddy bears are a thing of the past — these days we’re looking for experiences.
We’re going to give you the best idea so you can give your other half the perfect gift. This will earn you points in the future… we guarantee it!
Surprise your loved one with a picnic!
You’ve surely seen some romantic film where the couple watches the sunset in a park with their basket and picnic blanket, and your partner has thought: how lovely… I want that too. Well, voilà! It’s time to make it happen.
Picture the scene: you meet up on any given day to take a walk around the Temple of Debod and, suddenly, you come across a picnic already set up… they won’t see it coming.
Choose the perfect spot
True, Madrid has countless parks and beautiful locations for a picnic, but we want it to be as personal as possible. There’s surely a place of historical significance for the two of you — like the park where you had your first kiss or the place where you met.
It could also be that your partner has a favourite spot in Madrid, like El Retiro or some corner of El Capricho park. If it’s intimate, all the better — that way you can enjoy a calm, romantic evening.
Take care of every last detail
A good picnic isn’t just food and drink — you also have to include a romantic touch. Their favourite flowers, a giant teddy bear, a handwritten letter… all of that helps create the atmosphere. Think of it as a surprise that contains more mini-surprises.
Take the chance to open your heart…
Maybe you’re thinking about taking your relationship a step further (whether making it official or joining together for life). Well, this is a wonderful moment to pop the question. If that’s not in your most immediate plans, you can always take the chance to express your feelings for that person in some way. Remember that the best gifts can’t be bought with money!
