If you have reached that stage in your relationship where you are always at each other’s place but not yet living together, you can surprise your partner with a heart-warming gift: instead of having to pack a huge bag every time your partner sleeps over, you can surprise him or her by buying everything he or she needs and placing it in your home.

For example:

a toothbrush, slippers, towel (you can embroider his or her name on it), underwear.

For a man: shaving cream, aftershave, razor blade, boxers.

For a woman: hair moisturizer, facial cream, body lotion. If you want to take it a step further, you can also buy perfume, pyjamas, etc.

My story: “Last week, my boyfriend and I celebrated our one-year anniversary. We haven’t moved in together yet but we often sleep at each other’s place. When I came to his house, I was surprised to discover that he had bought everything I always carry with me when I sleep over. At first, I entered the bedroom and saw pink slipper, pajamas and the perfume I always use. Then I went to the bathroom and saw an extra toothbrush with a sticker with my name on it, a towel with my name embroidered on it, the hair moisturizer and body lotion that I use. I can’t describe how I felt. It felt like we were taking our relationship to the next level…”
