The festival of Karwa Chauth holds a special place in the hearts of married couples. On this day, wives observe a fast for their husbands’ long lives, deck up in traditional attire, and break their fast after sighting the moon. Husbands, in return, express their love by giving thoughtful gifts. However, in the rush of daily life, some men forget to buy gifts on time.

If you’re one of them, don’t worry — it’s still possible to make your wife feel cherished, even without a fancy present. Here are some last-minute ways to surprise her and win her heart.

1. Say Sorry With Flowers
If you forgot the gift, start with an honest apology. Pick up her favorite flowers, get down on one knee, and say “sorry” with love. This small yet romantic gesture will melt her heart and make her smile.

2. Plan a Romantic Dinner at Home
Skip the restaurants and create magic at home. Decorate the table with candles and flowers, play her favorite songs, and share a quiet dinner together. The effort will mean more than any expensive gift.

3. Express Love With Poetry
You may not have a gift, but your words can be priceless. After she breaks her fast, recite a romantic shayari, compliment her beauty, and hold her hand. Sometimes, heartfelt words leave the deepest impression.

4. Write a Handwritten Note
If expressing feelings face-to-face feels difficult, write them down. Make a simple handmade card or letter, thank her for her love and patience, and tell her what she means to you. She’ll treasure it forever.
