Know what the person you're dating — or even if it's a family member — what they like. There's nothing more annoying than getting something you absolutely don't like. And I think there's nothing more special than getting something that's personal.

On really hot days, I try to motivate friends and family to come into the pool for an aqua jogging session which I teach.
