When dining at home, enhance the mood with soft candlelight.

Jot a little love note on a sheet of paper, fold it into a paper airplane, and sail it across the living room to your partner.

AT WORK.

340 Find out where he's having lunch today. Then have flowers delivered there. (Or deliver them yourself!) 341 Instruct your secretary that all calls from your wife are to be put through-regardless of what you're doing, or with whom you're meeting. (Prove to your wife that she's the top priority in your life.) 342 Copy your face (or other body parts) on the Xerox machine. Mail it to him with a funny or suggestive note.

343 Pack a pillow and a blanket in a picnic basket and surprise your partner by appearing in the office at noon. Tell the secretary to Hold all calls. Lock the office door. Turn off the intercom. Close the blinds. Make love on the desk.

344 Same as above, but pack a real lunch. (Not as much fun, but more nutritious.) 345 Mail him a Rolodex card with your name and number on it. Write on it: "Your instant resource for love. Call when lonely."

Call from work simply to say "I love you!" (There's rarely an acceptable reason to go eight straight hours without touching base.)

SWEET STUFF.

346 Fill a Victoria's Secret box full of green M&M's. Fill an M&M's bag with new lingerie. Present both of them to her in bed.

347.

Smooth the top of an Oreo cookie, then scratch a heart and your initials into the surface.

Remove the white frosting from the top of a Hostess Cupcake, then write your own message using red frosting.

348 Give your partner his or her favorite kind of Girl Scout cookie.

349 Think up fun/clever/suggestive notes to attach to these candies: Good 'n Plenty, Mounds, Snickers, Almond Joy, Fire Balls, Double Bubble, Life Savers, or Hershey's Kisses.

"Where would I be without you, gal? You really are a Life Saver."

"Wow! You certainly were a Fire Ball last night!"

"Here are a few Kisses to Hold you over until we're together again."

350 Fill the cookie jar with love notes. Fill the mailbox with cookies.

KID STUFF.

351 Rediscover and nurture the "child" inside of you. It's the key to your creativity, spontaneity, sense of wonder and joy.

352 When's the last time you watched cloud formations? Take your lover for a walk in a field. Find an unobstructed view. Flop down on a hilltop. What do you see in the clouds? What do you imagine?

353.

Surprise her with a little "Trinket Gift" hidden inside a McDonald's Big Mac container.

Surprise him by hiding a favorite stuffed animal inside his gym bag.

What else might you be able to do together in a field??

354 Seventy-eight percent of all women love stuffed animals.

355 Most men love gadgets, electronic stuff or tools..."boys' toys." Men never really grow up-our toys simply get more expensive.

356 Get a favorite toy or item from his childhood: a toy, book, report card, or picture from the wall. (Call his parents; they'll love to be a part of this idea.) Wrap it up and include a touching note.

FUNNY STUFF.

357 Make copies of some favorite comic strips, then rewrite the captions to make them refer to you and your partner! With the application of a little White-Out and a little creativity, you can have lots of fun turning Blondie and Dagwood into the two of you. Or, picture her as Cathy or Sylvia, or him as Snoopy or Doonesbury.

358 Basic: Tape relevant comics to the refrigerator or the bathroom mirror.

359 Give him a book of collected comics. What's his favorite? The Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, Cathy, Funky Winkerbean, For Better or For Worse, Blondie, Andy Capp, Pogo?

360 Beyond "basic": Tape a comic to the rearview mirror in his car.

Insert comics in dinner napkins.

Stick them in cereal boxes.

Attach them to the underside of the toilet seat.

COOL STUFF.

362.

Wouldn't it be cool to take a Japanese flower-arranging course?

Wouldn't it be wild to rent a classic roadster for an afternoon?

Wouldn't it be fun to stay in bed together all day on Sunday?

363 Place a full-page ad in your local hometown newspaper to announce your anniversary, or celebrate his birthday, or simply to celebrate your love!

364 Present him with a "favor" (a gift bestowed as a token of goodwill; as a maiden's kerchief given to a knight)-something he'll carry around with him as a reminder of you.

Classic: a kerchief or scarf Meaningful: a short verse printed on a tiny slip of paper Intimate: panties Silly: a little toy Personal: a lock of your hair How would your partner define "cool"?

DIRTY STUFF.

366 Plant and care for a garden together. Crawling around in the dirt together has a funny way of bringing a couple closer.

367 They shared a love of gardening. But while his flower garden was a wild riot, her vegetable garden was organized and labeled. One day she did a double-take as she noticed the seed-packet sign on her row of carrots had been changed to read "karats." While her husband barely suppressed a smile, she dug carefully until she found a sealed box containing a three-karat diamond ring!

368 If the two of you enjoy hiking together, try barefoot hiking! The Dirty Sole Society can help you find the best trails. Check them out at www.bare footers.org/hikers.

369 He was an avid gardener. One year, as a surprise for his wife, he planted his flowers in a pattern that spelled out "I LOVE YOU." The message appears only when the flowers are in bloom, and can only be read from their second-story bedroom window.

He changes the message every year. He has great fun, and his wife is thrilled every spring.

SEX!.

370 Here's how one couple turned foreplay into a "game," using five dice. First they erased the dots using White-Out. Then they relabeled all the dice in this manner: On a pink ("Hers") die: They wrote a different body part on each of the six sides.

On a blue ("His") die: They wrote a different body part on each of the six sides.

On the third die: They wrote a verb on each side: "Rub," "Lick," "Kiss," "Massage," etc.

On the fourth die: They wrote an adverb on each side: "Softly," "Quickly," "Slowly," etc.

On the fifth die: They wrote time-related words: "Five minutes," "Half an hour," "As fast as you can," etc.
