Yes I would like some womanly perspective on some romantic ideas to surprise my wife with besides the usual or normal flowers, cards, dinner, movies, rock climbing, etc
Thoughtfulness is the key to being romantic. Get her something you know that she would love, but is not typically seen as romantic, just a little something that reminds you of her. Take her to a place that is new to both of you, but again, doesn't have to be classified as romantic. Adventure and spontaneity is romantic.
On the next full moon, take her for a walk somewhere peaceful outside and discuss your favorite memories of being together and a goal you would like to reach with her (vacation, new home, another child, whatever).
Get a recipe book and some advice and surprise her with her favorite dish cooked 100% by you. I guarantee, even if it's not perfect, she will LOVE it.
If you have a fireplace, make a nest of blankets and pillows, light a fire, put on some nice music you both enjoy, have a bottle of wine and enjoy an evening. No fireplace? Same nest of blankets, but put on HER favorite movie and enjoy it with her (if it's too chick-flicky for you to understand, ask her WHAT IT IS about the movie that she especially likes.)
Build a bonfire outside and make her a dinner. After dinner, watch the sunset, watch the embers fly and enjoy the evening together.
Fix something around the house that she has been bugging you to do, but that you haven't gotten around to. After you fix it, show it to her, give her a flower, and tell her you appreciate ALL THE THINGS she does for you regularly and that you appreciate HER being in your life.
Take her to a park, waterfall, favorite spot, etc., bring a GOOD camera (borrow one if you have to) and tell her you want to take some beautiful photos of your beautiful wife to use on your phone (or computer). Be sure to apprise her AHEAD OF TIME that you want to do this so that she can fix her hair, make-up, and wear the outfit she would like.
Hope this helps! (sigh, wish my STBXH had bothered being romantic occasionally). Love ya, man!
One of the best (most sexy/romantic) nights we have is when we get lots of yummy finger food and some nice wine. Light the candles (clothes are optional) and we lie in bed and feed each other, drink wine, talk, giggle, massage etc etc...
My hubby burned a cd with a song that was very special to us, he placed the cd in my player in my jeep and left a note on the steering wheel telling me to push play. I had been going through a rough time and that simple gesture spoke volumes. Posted via Mobile Device
If you want something really special, you can write down random memories that you have " I remember looking into your eyes on our wedding day blahblahblahblah..." fold them individually, and put them into a jar for her to read one a day for a week, or two weeks, whatever is a good amount for you. That is something that I will always remember.
Some think you need a huge gesture to show romance, but it's the little things that work the best. I love the CD with special songs idea. A phone call in the middle of the day just to say you are thinking about her is nice too. Do you have a wedding video? Sit her down and tell her you have something cool you want to watch with her and hit play. Then you can remember that day, giggle about who has changed, how happy you were, etc. Offer to paint her toenails. This is a funny romantic gesture and because you will probably suck at painting them, you will both start to crack up and it could lead to other things (wink wink nudge nudge). By the way, these are things I wish my H would do for me.
My man is the most unromantic man to ever live. You just posting your question had me swooning! I am romance starved!

Such lovely ideas here! My favorite thing that my husband did for me was to scatter rose petals from the front door to the bathroom. When I came home from work, I followed the rose petal path to the bathroom, where he had drawn a bath and put candles around the tub.
You can also pack a picnic basket and go to a lake, pond, river, beach. or whatever water source you have.
Give her a foot massage.
Have the kids draw pictures of the two of you. Wrap them up and give them to her after a dinner that you made.
Order a gift basket with bath salts, loofas, and essential oils.
Plan a bed and breakfast weekend at a local inn, or suprise her with a weekend breakfast with her favorite foods.
I can not remember the name of the site (you'll have to hunt it down cause I am being lazy) but the site takes photos and turns them into movie posters. So use a favorit picture of hers and have it turned into a movie poster frame it up and hang it up. I know, kind of cheese but even cheesy is a good thing in romance.
A friend of mine took his wife out to eat at a hotel restraunt and after the meal was done she was ready to go pick up the kids from grandma's but he suprised her with a room for the night. While they were at dinner we slipped into the room and readied it. So there were roses every where, wine, chocolate, and her favorite bubble bath. Later as she was telling me about it she was still all doe eyed. It was cute and to this day she has no clue that anyone helpped him set it up.
Thoes are my suggestions. Truth is my H is not very romantic but the things he does that are all him makes me feel like it is all flowers and chocolate. Once he bought me a gift on line, did not tell me and had it mailed in my name. I was like hey what is this I never ordered anything. I knew once I opened it that he had ordered it for me. But that is as ushy gushy as he gets.
