An anniversary is a wonderful time to shine a light on how much you adore your sweetheart. From activities that need a little preparation to spur of the moment fun, here are 12 incredibly romantic ways to celebrate your special day.

1. Share a passion

Is there a hobby you usually do on your own? Consider an outing that involves teaching your love the ins and outs of your choice activity. If you tend to golf with friends, take your sweetie to the course and give a private lesson. If you’re a photography enthusiast, head to your number one spot and show your beloved how to capture gorgeous shots. Sharing your passions with your significant other can really help you bond in a way unparalleled to other things.

2. The gift of unity

Instead of buying gifts separately, spend the time together and pick out something you both want. Perhaps there is an item you’ve discussed, or maybe you want to choose in the moment. Either way, share the experience of discovering a present you both will enjoy.

3. Creative cuisine

For the gourmand pair, select an adventurous recipe to prepare together and eat. Shop with each other beforehand for the ingredients, and then come home to create your scrumptious meal. If you prefer going out, find a food or drink tasting in your area. Spend the evening indulging in chocolates, wines, oil and vinegar pairings, or whatever your hearts (and taste buds) desire.

4. Creative expression

Wax poetic about you and your other half’s history. If you are musical, compose a tune—with or without lyrics. If you like to write, pen a poem or a story. If you’re a visual artist, draw, paint, sculpt, or photograph an image that conveys your tale.

5. Spa day

Arrange a spa day. Most places will cater to a twosome, offering couples facials, massages, manicures and pedicures, skin care treatments, and so on. Consider making a weekend of it with a spa getaway.

6. Dance partners

Go dancing. If you don’t consider yourself a dancer, many community centers offer lessons for beginners before the main event. Arrive early with your partner to learn a few steps, and then trip the light fantastic for the rest of the night. Forget about how you look because all that matters is that you have a wonderful time together.

7. Pleasant picnic

Picnics are pleasant, but weather isn’t always ideal, so have one indoors. Create a playlist of songs from the year you met to set the mood. Lay out a blanket, pillows to rest against, and a basket full of delicious edibles and your favorite beverage with fancy glasses. Give a toast before you exchange gifts.

8. Playground fun

Hearken back to the simple joys of adolescence by visiting a neighborhood park. Take turns pushing each other on the swings and swinging side by side. Trade childhood stories, and talk about happy memories from your relationship.

9. Cinematic delight

If you and your honey are cinephiles, plan an evening of viewing romantic films. IMDb.com lists thousands of the most popular romantic movies, which can be sorted by user ratings, release dates and so on. Hold hands or snuggle under a blanket while you watch.

10. Sing-a-long

Find a restaurant or club that hosts karaoke, and belt out a romantic ballad. Either sing a duet, or go solo and dedicate it to your one and only. When the number mentions someone else, personalize it by singing your companion’s name.

11. A night on the town

Many cities boast beautiful downtown areas with unique buildings and businesses. Walk as you chat and take in the sights. Consider making a stop at a local restaurant for dinner and sharing what you love most about each other. Make it a night to celebrate memories and create new ones.

12. Remember your story

There are as many engagement stories as there are couples, so why not remember yours? Relive the day by visiting the setting of your proposal. If you give jewelry as a gift, this is a wonderful time to present it to your spouse.

No matter what you choose to do, make it memorable by making it personal. Test your chances at really surprising your loved one with chance at winning an $11,000 diamond as Morgan Jewelers celebrates their 100th anniversary in conjunction with yours.
