We know from sensations like warm jeans from the dryer or hitting snooze one last time that simple pleasures are what makes life awesome, and perhaps nowhere is this more true than in your relationship. Keeping your man happy doesn’t have to be an elaborate or expensive affair. Here are nine simple ways that you can put a smile on his face and keep both of you satisfied.

Leave a note on his windshield

As fun as emojis and sexts are, nothing beats the feeling of being surprised with a handwritten note. Put him in a good mood for that morning commute by slipping a cheesy love letter under his windshield wipers. There won’t be rain clouds anywhere near him.

Buy him a lotto ticket

Next time you’re at the convenience store, throw in a couple scratchers. They’re cheap, fun, and let him live, for at least a minute, in the fantasy that you guys will be yacht shopping soon. You’re bound to get lucky after pulling this one.

Switch up your undies game

Wear a new racy thong, or even some silly tighty-whities if you're not into being super sexy. Prance around his apartment in it. Boom. Bottoms up. Literally.

Wash his sheets

Going to bed with fresh washed sheets is a timeless pleasure that everyone should be able to enjoy — even those of us who are not exactly aces at staying on top of our laundry. Wash his sheets while he’s out of the house, and let him be surprised when you hit the hay that night. Sure, you guys will probably just get them dirty again, but it’s the thought that counts.

Hook up Fido

If he has a dog, anything nice you do for him is a treat for your man by extension. Grab a treat or a bone at the pet store, or take his furry friend to the dog park because he’s a good boy! (The dog is pretty cool too.)

Bring him breakfast in bed

If you’re crafty in the kitchen, perhaps you’ll whip up some Sunday morning brunch for your favorite bacon enthusiast. Even just a cup of coffee and a pastry from down the street, though, can be a meal fit for a king when it’s unexpected and served pillow side.

Buy him a fresh pack of socks

Until science can identify the location of the black hole that has claimed countless socks in washing machines, the reality will be that all of us have a sad pile of lonely mismatched socks in our drawer. Solidify the fact that you guys are a perfect pair by spontaneously gifting him with a new packet of socks. He’ll live like a baller and a shot caller, at least until it’s laundry day again.

Let him choose the restaurant

Avoid the temptation to remind him that happy hour is not a meal and "fried" is not a food group — just this once. Chow down at that sports bar, and score one for your girlfriend skills.

Tell him he’s right about something

It’s important to keep the relationship fresh fresh by mixing things up, so every once in a while, take a break from being the infallible authority on everything that you are, and blow his mind with the two simple words, “You’re right.” Practice it alone a few times until you’ve gotten used to saying it without laughing.
