5 Unique Ways To Surprise Your Man

“This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Armor All, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #LessTimeMoreShine http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV”

Right now, we are in a very busy season of our life with lots of changes. Most days are a little chaotic as we figure out this whole family of four thing. Throughout it all, my sweet husband has been going above and beyond to help in any way he can. I am so appreciative of everything he does. In the midst of the toddler tantrums, baby cries, and lots of laughter, I try to verbally tell him how much he is loved and valued, but it is nice to do a little something extra for him sometimes as well. Maybe you are in a similar situation, maybe your husband has been carrying a little more of the load lately? Or, maybe you just want to do something nice for him? Here are 5 Unique Ways To Surprise Your Man:

Leave Him Affirming Notes

Get creative with this. Leave him notes from the moment he pulls into the garage. I like to post notes on the door coming into our house. Then you can even leave a trail of them. Leave one where he puts up his keys, leave one on the bathroom mirror, leave one on his clothes hanger, leave one on the top of the dirty clothes basket, leave one on the milk carton… think about places he goes everyday and get creative! Let me know just how much you appreciate him and all he does!

Wash His Car

You might be thinking this seems like a big task.  I mean, how are you suppose to wash his car when you are chasing after kids or working long hours? Well, Armor All has solved your problem! It’s easy as 1,2,3 with the NEW Armor All Ultra Shine Wash and Wax Wipes, and Tire & Trim Shine Sponges – no bucket, water and soap needed! This new 3 step solution set is available at Walmart and make it so easy to clean your car anywhere, anytime. These products are pre-moistened and treated, so you literally need nothing else to clean the exterior of your car! No bucket. No hose. No buffing. They seriously make it so easy, I even worked on it while holding Little Kev Kev. Plus, take advantage of the $2.00 off any one (1) of the Armor All Ultra Shine Wipes from Walmart in the Automative Section, while supplies last!

Bring Him Lunch At Work

Pick up his favorite lunch or make him lunch and bring it to him at work. This will be a great way to say thank you and give him a little fun in his day. Work days can be long and taxing so a fun lunch will help break up his day. You can even grab his favorite candy bar and leave it for him for a snack when you are finished with lunch.

Plan A Surprise Date Night

You can get really creative with this one. If you don’t have the time or money to go out, you can plan an at home date night. Grab your blow up mattress, a new movie he wants to see at Redbox and his favorite candy. Create a fun set up for after your kids go to bed and enjoy a movie together. You can also schedule a babysitter and take him to his favorite restaurant or someplace fun like TopGolf. The possibilities are endless.

Gift, Gift, Gift

Yep, head to the store and pick up something he has had his eye on. Is there a video game he has been wanting, a new book or movie? Grab him something just for him that he would enjoy but wouldn’t buy for himself. You can even wrap it up so he has to open it!
