Wait for it..... surprise!
Were you surprised?
Probably not, but how nice would it be if you were surprised by your partner with something you love, especially after a long day?
A positive and thoughtful surprise is a great way to connect. How good would you feel if you surprised your partner with one of their favorite things? How good would they feel?
Both of you would likely feel pretty great, so here are some ideas to try:
Cook your partner's favorite meal for them
Bring them breakfast in bed and enjoy the morning together
Write them a love letter by hand and mail it
Send them a random, loving text in the middle of the day
Throwback: make them a mixtape or CD of their favorite songs (a playlist works, too!)
These are just a few small things you could do any day of the week, and you don't even have to spend money. As the saying goes, the best things in life are free.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
