But we all love pleasant surprises that remind us that two halves still need each other.
If you have planned a surprise and you don't have any ideas yet what it should be, there are some tips and ideas that will help you.
As a surprise, you can arrange an unusual date for your beloved girl, or prepare a gift for her/him with your own hands, or maybe both.
What surprise to prepare for a girl or guy
An interesting date, like a surprise
If you decide to have a date, you can write on small pieces of paper several options for places where you would like to go, fold the pieces of paper and put them in a jar. You can decorate the jar first, and then invite the girl to choose one of the options.
* A date can be arranged based on common interests, or if some interests differ, then several dates can be planned (for example, once a month) - prepare 12 options for each month.
Here are some options for how and where you can have a date:
* Midnight Picnic - Find a spot where you can best see the full moon or simply lay out a blanket in your living room or bedroom under the moonlight and cover it with your favorite treats.
* Prepare your sofa or bed (for example, scatter a few rose petals) and watch your favorite movie together with a floral scent. You can add your favorite snack to this.
* Prepare a fragrant bath for your loved one, and while she relaxes, prepare dinner for two.
* Take each other on a hot air balloon ride. For greater effect, you can do this at sunset.

They say you only need to make a first impression once. Filling the box in which you send an order to a new customer is the final touch of the first impression, and this touch can be decisive and most significant. Basically, the box allows you to make a first impression both a second and a third time. It all depends on its content and the surprises you can fill it with that are pleasant for the buyer. What exactly? Here are 7 ideas for you.
1. Letter of gratitude
Electronically, we all say “thank you” to the buyer for choosing our store. But in most cases, this gratitude is just an addition to the notification about placing an order, an ordinary transactional letter. In rare cases, you can find sellers who purposefully send separate thank-you notes to their customers. Even more rarely, such messages can be found printed on paper and included in the box/package with the order. Meanwhile, such a letter is a pleasant little thing that can decide the issue of future acquisitions in your favor.
This is how, for example, EliseJoy.com thanks its customers.
This card is included in orders from the online clothing store Everlane.com.
2. A beautifully designed coupon
Coupons that you distribute to visitors on your website, in special mailings, are a useful and effective tool for increasing sales of your online store. A coupon, printed on high-quality paper and designed elegantly and tastefully, is a tool that also solves an image problem. The cost of producing such coupons is usually low and the result of their use will certainly allow you to “recoup” these investments. Of course, a beautiful coupon on paper can be combined with a letter of gratitude, but, probably, in this case, both the coupon and the gratitude will lose a little in their image weight.

3. Coupon for a friend, marked exactly like that
You know for sure that the call to action should be made unambiguously interpretable and understandable from the first moment. Hints, relying on the understanding and insight of visitors in calls to action probably work only in exceptional cases. The same is true for coupons included in orders. Do you want the recipient to share them with their friends, family and loved ones? Say so! Write on the coupon that it is for a friend. As an additional incentive, you can indicate that presenting this coupon is an expression of special treatment, care and love. In the exact wording of such incentives, focus on your product group and. 
A variant of an order insert that contains two coupons, one for the recipient, the second for his friend. With a corresponding appeal.
A simple option with a clear appeal.
4. Paper catalog
Why not? Catalog trading, which, it would seem, should have disappeared with the development of e-commerce, has not gone away yet. The catalogs were and still are popular among certain audiences. It’s just that some people like flipping through real pages much more than studying photos and descriptions on device screens.
The catalog included in the order, by the way, may be limited: perhaps it makes sense to present only bestsellers, new season items, and sale items.
Information sheet with descriptions of brands and products and, of course, coupon codes.
5. Theater and cinema tickets
Why not? If your target audience is definitely interested in cinema or regularly attends theater premieres, tickets will be a very pleasant and appropriate surprise. A possible result - and, of course, a subsequent expansion of your audience.
Ticket to any show - let the recipient decide when and what to watch.
6. Samples
Probably the simplest and most obvious option. Do you want someone to buy something from you? Give this something to try. Yes, not all products have trial options, but you can almost always come up with something to invest in “for trial”. Just choose the smallest package/packaging.
Did you think that samples are the prerogative of perfumers?
7. Gift accompanying the purchased product
Cross-selling without “selling”, so to speak. Chinese colleagues, for example, practice such investments in orders all the time. However, in Russian-language ecommerce, pleasant little things in the order are also not such a rare occurrence. So if you are not yet pleasing your customers - especially those who order from you for the first time - try adding surprises to your orders that accompany the purchased goods. Tracking their effectiveness is not so easy, but if the client returns to you, we can safely say that your generosity contributed to this.

I have already bought gifts for my loved ones for March 8th. There is still time, so I decided to decorate them beautifully. I love this business.
In principle, there is still time before the holiday, maybe you can advise on gift wrapping. Otherwise I have a lot of gifts) but not very many ideas and materials
To wrap a gift beautifully, you don’t have to make the boxes yourself. It turns out they are for sale)) And I'm glad I bought them.
I ordered creams, masks and scrubs for my sisters in advance. This cosmetics can be given as a gift without packaging and it would be so beautiful, but I don’t know how to do that. Everything should be beautiful and complete)
I bought it in one store that has these ready-made boxes in the center for 80 rubles.
Everything is very easy to do
here's a box for you))) and also with a bow
But, unfortunately, the boxes turned out to be larger than the gifts themselves. I didn’t want my gifts to dangle inside the box and decided to fill them with something.
I read on the Internet that you can fill the box like this:
but I didn't have any shavings or the like. Or the material.
And I decided to use the remnants of wrapping papers and bags that wrap flowers in markets))
and corrugated paper, otherwise I didn’t know what to do with it, it’s been lying there for a long time
And cover to the top with the rest
Then I closed the lid tightly and glued the ready-made ribbons
We sign cards for each and attach them with clothespins
I thought for a very long time about how to wrap it for my next gift. The box is very large. Conventional gift wrapping is already outdated and does not evoke any emotions. I decided to rummage through my things. And on the balcony I saw a huge package. It was decided to use it
And in this package from Milan I brought my son a gift from the Disney store) Gorgeous store. I wanted to buy everything there. Eh. I've kind of gone off topic.
The paper turned out to be thick, but you can bend it
Hi Hi!!! I love this forum!!! Here, as I already noted, most people are smart (really smart) and “thinking”. And this cannot but rejoice! I give everyone +200!!! Especially Well done to Seryozha. Anyway...
I haven't shown up since my girlfriend arrived. She has already left, we had a great time! And they didn’t even remember about this box, because that was not the essence. It is important that she came. I don’t understand what you’re seething about next to this box? Just that, in addition to the usual gifts (well, for some holidays), I like to give small, unexpected, pleasant surprises whenever possible... So this “ill-fated” red box turned up. THAT'S ALL... I gave it, made me happy, saw a smile on the face of my loved one and we move on with our lives! Everything's fine!
gruz, I have a feeling that you are not from this world...
It's all too sweet or something...
What unusual happened? Have you seen anything like this in your Life? It's a pity.
some kind of overly lisping
Then the couple remembered the words of Viktor Sukhorukov from Brat-2. So, he was talking there about Kirkorov or something: “I don’t like Kirkorov. He’s kind of skinny, like a woman...”
I don’t know how it is with you, but I’m not interested in just “getting laid” (sorry ladies) like taking off your pants, sticking them out, sticking them in and satisfied. Well, or whatever your situation is. Probably, right now everyone just sighed again with the words “what a damn romantic.” Right now ladies and elderly people, please don’t read... I used to think that a girl will give me something, and then I’ll do anything for her, then I’ll love her, feelings will appear, etc. So, after this very “give” happened, but nothing changed, love did not increase. Interest was falling. So, it’s not interesting when you “give it” and put it in first place. For me, balance is better, it’s much more pleasant to realize with whom you are doing this, that the other person also likes it, that you are doing it consciously. Sex is like a damn nice addition to the amazing game called Life - that’s the approach for me
It’s easy to decide how to give a gift at the expense of others.
He forgot to ask something - how to make the first wedding night incomparable!
I know how! I would never ask you. Gee.
If I want to surprise my beloved, I’ll figure out how to do it myself. But I won’t discuss on the forum how to do it? What did I do? Where did I put it? What did I cook?
I'm extremely happy for you!
to show everyone your romanticism)))
Does he exist?
There are 3 categories of people Always , no matter what you suggest, no matter what you do. Always there will be people who are ready to eat you up..., shit..., criticize you to the fullest, in order to show that, attention, they're not like that, like someone who is being persecuted. The latter will try to help you, advise you, or at least not interfere with your endeavors. And the third, neutral ones, who are not interested or simply don’t care. You need to focus on the second and third, so that their opinions, advice, and experience can help you. There is good news, there are fewer people in the first category, there are only a few of them. Without exception, I don’t take offense at anyone, I don’t persecute or sharpen my teeth! All those who really, unselfishly wanted to help me did so, for which I speak thanks a lot!
Thanks everyone, guys!
Decorative filler is used quite often; most master classes have it, but how to make it is almost never told.
Of course, you can buy it in the store, but why spend money if the filler is easy to make yourself. Find out how to do this from our article.
Why do you need filler?
Decorative shavings are one of the most common materials used by decorators to add volume and shape to gifts. Main types of packaging filler:
- Sisal;
- Corrugated shavings;
- Paper filler;
- Raffia (fiber from palm leaves);
- Lurex.
Depending on the preferences of the recipient and the theme of the holiday for which the offering is being prepared, shavings of different shapes and colors can be used. It is used not only for decorating gifts; it is also used to create individual compositions.
Interesting! Paper is not always used; you can create shavings, for example, from wood. Wood shavings will be especially appropriate if a surprise is presented or. This is how a flash drive can be presented:
With your own hands
To create paper shavings, you will need: a little free time, a pencil, a ruler, scissors and a lot of multi-colored paper, which you can easily buy in any office department or art salon.
When everything you need is at hand, you can start working. So, you need to use a ruler and pencil to draw on one of the sheets (it’s better to take an A3 sheet so that the stripes are longer) many thin strips, about 0.5 cm wide, and the length will depend on the size of the sheet.
Then simply cut the leaf into ribbons. The resulting ribbons should be slightly crushed. That's all, now put your stripes in a gift box and place a present on top.
To make the filler look more interesting, use zigzag scissors. Also, instead of regular colored paper, you can take special gift paper, since it has a pattern, the ribbons will turn out more interesting.
And recently, it has become fashionable to use newspapers for these purposes; perhaps this option will interest you too.
Idea! It is not necessary to put the gift on top; on the contrary, you can hide it among the decor. Do this: buy a present, preferably a small one so that it is more difficult to find (jewelry, cufflinks, etc. will do) and a large gift box (you can even have a whole box). Fill the box with lots of colorful stuffing and hide a surprise somewhere in between. Decorate the box with a large one and present it to the hero of the occasion. Believe me, he will remember such an offering for a long time!
You can also put many small cases in a box, say 11 pieces. Let there be little surprises at 10 (, kinder, keychain, etc.), and at the eleventh something special (, trips to the sea, etc.).
In this unusual way, you can even propose marriage. Let the girl think that she is looking for another cute souvenir, but in the end she will receive a gorgeous engagement ring.
In general, if you use your imagination a little, you can come up with many more interesting options.
You can make several types of shavings in less than one hour, and this task is quite easy, even a novice needleworker can do it.
Therefore, if you want your gifts to be bright, voluminous and unusual, then be sure to use filler, and you already know how to make it.
