Go on a fun date with your special person
It’s important to define the problem before you start on a solution. If you’re struggling with staying motivated, it’s likely because there is no clear goal or purpose for why you’re working out. “I want to lose weight” isn’t a very good goal. It doesn’t tell us what exactly needs to change or how we should measure progress if we succeed in reaching our target number of pounds lost.
A good exercise routine requires setting realistic goals in the short term (3-6 months) and long term (1-2 years). Make sure your goals are specific, measurable and attainable so that they can be used as benchmarks throughout your journey toward health and wellness. Examples of concrete fitness goals could include: losing 15 pounds over 3 months by working out regularly at least three times per week; increasing my weekly mileage from 10 miles per week at an 8:30 pace up to 15 miles per week at 7:30 pace after six months; setting new personal records in my squat every month until I reach 300 pounds over 10 months; increasing flexibility by adding one new stretch every two weeks until I’ve added 10 total stretches after eight months
Share an experience that you know he/she would like to have.
Another type of gift you can give is an experience. It might seem harder to wrap up a trip to the spa or a night away at a nice restaurant, but it’s not! It’s actually much easier than buying physical items.
Here are some tips:
- Figure out what interests he/she has and make sure that the experience reflects that interest in some way. For example, if he’s into cooking shows, then perhaps you could take him on a tour of restaurants where famous chefs have worked before moving onto bigger things (or vice versa). Or maybe she loves hiking and climbing mountains—why not book her for some lessons?
- Be prepared to explain why you think this person would enjoy the experience; sometimes people just don’t understand what they want until someone gives them an idea first! And don’t forget about experiences that aren’t available on a regular basis—if your friend works in retail all day long and never gets time off work or goes anywhere else during his/her free time, then pick something specific like “a weekend at [name of hotel]” instead!

Give your significant other some alone time to do what she wants, e.g., by babysitting her child(ren), doing the chores for her, etc.
A gift of time is a great way to show your special someone that you care. You can easily incorporate this into your life by doing chores or taking care of children. It shows that you are willing to sacrifice your own time because of how much you want to help the other person out.
You could also arrange for babysitting services if necessary. This will give your significant other some alone time to do what she wants, e.g., by going somewhere without having to worry about child care or transportation arrangements.
Giving the gift of time is a simple way for partners in relationships and romantic relationships alike (or even non-romantic ones) to take responsibility for their actions and ensure that both parties remain healthy
Take care of the other person’s burdensome task(s).
If your partner is the type to always do the dishes, take over that chore and he or she can relax. If your partner isn’t much of a cook, offer to whip up dinner every now and then. If you know that your partner has been meaning to get some work done around the house for ages but keeps getting distracted by television and video games, ask him or her if you could help out with those things instead. You might also consider taking a day off together so that neither of you have any responsibilities while spending time together doing whatever floats both of your boats: going out to eat (or cooking together), watching movies at home on cable TV and reading books side-by-side on the couch while sipping hot cocoa—whatever sounds good!
Spend quality time together
Try doing something you both enjoy.
Spend time together doing something new.
Try spending some quality time together doing something that you did when you first met.
If your partner is a fan of video games, try playing the same game with them. This can be done on an old console or online via Xbox Live or PlayStation Network (PSN). First-person shooters are a great option for this type of bonding experience because watching someone play will help build trust between players and give them perspective on what their partners see as they play through the game’s challenges and scenarios.
Do something creative and fun together, like gardening, arts and crafts, or another project that requires executing a vision.
As the holiday season approaches, it’s time to begin thinking about what you’re going to buy your special someone. But not everyone has a lot of cash on hand, and sometimes even if you do have money in your pocket, it just feels like too much effort—or maybe even completely impractical—to spend it all on a gift.
The good news is that there are plenty of budget-friendly ways to make someone happy without breaking the bank (or at least not breaking it too hard). One such option: Do something creative and fun together, like gardening or arts and crafts. This approach has several benefits: First, you’ll be able to pick an activity that suits both of your interests; second, no one can ever say no to helping out around their own home or garden; thirdly—and perhaps most importantly—this kind of project usually ends up being more fun than any store-bought present could ever be! If you really need some inspiration for projects that require executing a vision but aren’t overly expensive (say $20-$30), check out this list from Apartment Therapy. Just remember: The bigger the challenge at hand—and thus the greater sense of accomplishment when finished—the more fun they’ll have!
Play an interactive game together
Playing an interactive game together is a great way to bond and have fun. There are several options:
- A board game. There are so many options! You can get one for your age range, or you could even play the same game without playing the same amount of pieces. For example, if you play Matching Mover with only four players, then each person would have fewer pieces than if there were five or six players.
- A sport. This doesn’t necessarily mean going outside and playing basketball or soccer (though that’s an option too!). It could be something as simple as playing catch in the yard with a tennis ball instead of a baseball bat and ball—or even just tossing around foam footballs inside on rainy days!
- Playing video games together could also be something fun that brings you closer together—and it’s not too expensive either! When choosing which console to buy (or whether or not one of your friends already has one), consider how good they are at gaming because sometimes people don’t want someone who will “ruin” their experience by making them constantly lose while they’re trying to win themselves–especially if it’s happening over and over again at first when all three people haven’t yet gotten used to each other’s strengths/weaknesses yet.”
Play any kind of game that requires cooperation or electronic gaming (e.g., video games).
Play any kind of game that requires cooperation or electronic gaming (e.g., video games).
This can be an enjoyable activity for couples or families. Many game apps you can play on a smartphone or tablet, and there are also many free games you can play online. You can also play board games together, such as the classic “Monopoly,” or try out some fun new video game titles like “Mario Kart.”
Exercise your mind
- Keep your mind active and sharp by doing puzzles or reading.
- Reading is a great way to learn new things, exercise your mind and explore new places, as well as meeting new people.
- Reading can also be social—there are many book clubs in which you can discuss the books with others who share your interests.
Read a book together or with your loved one as a family.
Reading a book is a great way to help your brain learn new things, and it’s fun to do with other people. You can read together as a family or friends, or even start a book club with some of your favorite people in your life! Reading can be done at home, on vacation trips, or even at the beach. It’s also an alternative to watching TV for entertainment because reading lasts longer than watching movies or shows (though there are plenty of books that are made into movies).
Reading together can be a good way to bond with the special person in your life—or just get away from everything else that might stress you out during this busy time of year.
Do brain teasers or puzzles together, like crossword puzzles or Sudoku.
Puzzles and games are a great way to spend time with someone you care about. If you have a significant other, there’s nothing like spending an evening working on a puzzle together. Puzzle types include crossword puzzles, Sudoku, word searches and jigsaw puzzles.
If you don’t think your partner will enjoy doing these types of puzzles (or if they’re just not your thing), then maybe try something else that involves mental stimulation. For example, do brain teasers or puzzles together—like those found on the Lumosity website or apps for smart phones—to test each other’s minds!
If you have kids at home who are old enough to play board games but too young for adult-level strategy games like checkers or chess; consider getting them some kid-friendly strategy games like Sorry! or Life (which I played just last week).
These gift ideas will nurture your relationship with yourself and those you love.
There’s nothing like the feeling of being in your own home. It’s a space where you can shut out the world and focus on what matters most to you, whether that be spending time alone or with friends or family. And since we spend so much time at home, why not make it as beautiful as possible?
Here are some gift ideas that will help you do just that:
