For Valentine's day I saw on Amazon at little booklet with coupons, on which redeemable things were written like "One full-body massage" or "One dinner at a fancy restaurant". I was going to buy it when I thought I could certainly do one myself.
So I'm trying to list some ideas. As far as I could see, there was a topic on that in 2010, but it does not provide many ideas. Besides, many new members since then means many potential new ideas
Here is what I have for now:
Dates category:
Cuddling/Kissing/Massage category:
Shopping and gifts category:
Home category:
Relationship problem solving category:
Misc category:
Any other ideas? (there are of course the X-rated ones but it's not the right part of the forum for that :P)
I'm particularly short of ideas of things that could turn out to be useful to solve relationship problems when living together. I found "I leave the place entirely to you for 3 hours" because I know both my girlfriend and I can have moment when we wish to be left alone to think. I'm a bit reluctant to have a "Forgiveness" coupon to force one person to forgive the other for a fault because forgiveness is not something we can force on the other, and it would feel more like a "Shut up" coupon that can actually damage the relationship. But their may be other things that could be useful when living together.

Here is what I have for now:
Dates category:
- Cinema, you pick the movie
- Dinner at a fancy restaurant
- I cook your favorite dish for you
- Promenade on the beach
- Picnic
Cuddling/Kissing/Massage category:
- A long hug, regardless of my mood
- Long kissing, regardless of my mood
- Massage (neck, back, feet, full-body)
Shopping and gifts category:
- Getting you a new piece of clothing
- Tea, coffee, wine, beverage-related
- Flowers (to be offered at an unexpected moment within the next X days)
- I drive you to X (where X is a shopping center, for instance my girlfriend loves Ikea and the closest one is 2h30 from her place - she doesn't have a car)
Home category:
- I'll do all the chores today
Relationship problem solving category:
- I'll leave the apartment entirely to you for 3 hours
- I'll stop arguing and write my concerns on paper instead, then give you the results when it's done
Misc category:
- I'll buy the flight tickets for your parents to come visit you (relevant if your SO moved abroad to live with you, and if you have the money for it)
- You choose our next vacation destination
