What does he or she really want? No matter how long a couple has been together, it’s still hard to answer this question and come up with romantic gifts and date ideas. Sure, that home-cooked meal and box of chocolates were romantic things to do the first five times you did them, but variety is the spice of any relationship, and it’s time to rethink your gifting game plan. Here’s some good news: we have plenty of romantic ideas for her and romantic ideas for him.

Our guide makes it easy to plan and gift the perfect date. Below, you’ll find articles and charts that help you crack your significant other’s code, whether their idea of a dream date is standard (candlelit Italian dinner), spicy (shooting a boudoir photo album), or silly (overindulging at BYOB painting class). It all depends on his or her personality, and your particular situation. After all, some gifts are better than others when shopping last minute—think cooking classes or wine tasting—and that couple’s massage won’t work out when the babysitter suddenly moves to Europe.

So take a good, long look into his or her eyes, then read through our gift guide to discover which experiences make the most romantic gifts for anniversaries, Valentine's Day dates, and other occasions.
