How to surprise your man this September

Traditionally, men are expected to do all the surprising, gift-giving, and spoiling. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that because men are wired to chase and provide, and most women would say that they like a man who can spoil them.

In 2022, however, there's a lot that has changed our perspective when it comes to relationships. Men are becoming more vocal about what they want and in fact, they do deserve to be shown some love and appreciation too.

That is why now we have months like, 'Take a Man Out September,' which is fast becoming a thing.

If you're looking for ways you can celebrate your man before this month ends, here are a couple of ideas to give you some inspiration.

Plan a fun activity

Men are built to handle a lot of stress and pressure. And they don't often get to release some of that stress, which is probably why they end up dying earlier than women.

It would be nice to plan an interesting activity so your man can feel like a stress-free kid again. You can go to an amusement park, an indoor trampoline spot, a water park, the list is endless.

Give him an opportunity to just have fun without worrying about life problems and allow him to be the little boy that he is deep down without any restrictions or judgement.

Organize an indoor picnic
