35. Try a special message plate surprise
This is such a good trick! Arrange for your recipient to go out and only come back at tea time, when you'll have a meal prepared for both of you. You could also surprise your recipient as part of a party tea or feast.
All you need is some plain white plates and some plate decorating pens or paint - even the kinds kids often use to decorate a plate for Grandma. You can create a really cute design - and then be sure to follow the instructions to let the paint or ink set - it is often recommended to pop in the oven for a certain time, or varnish afterwards, so that it is safe to eat from. Once it is completely dry, you can set about preparing the meal and dish it out on to the newly decorated plate.
You could even cleverly cover each section of the plate with a different food - just make sure every bit is covered with food so that it looks like an every day white dinner plate. You recipient will uncover the surprise bit by bit as they eat their meal. You get to keep the memory and relive it every time you use the plate for a meal! It's such a cute surprise idea and you can get really creative with the design and message you choose to give.
