Often in the daily grind, we may forget to show our significant other how much we love them. Make sure to find creative ways to keep love alive - not just for your sweetheart, but these ideas can work for kids and friends as well! Using a little imagination will take the routine out of the words “I Love You” and make your loved one feel extra special. Don’t wait until Valentine’s Day! Spread the love all year long. Here’s a few things I have done that got a great response.
For the first anniversary, I looked up a calendar that showed how many weeks, days, hours, and seconds and minutes we had been dating. I listed those in his card, and then found “I Love You” in 52 languages and wrote those inside the card (one for each week). This was a budget friendly gift that showed my love by the time spent and thought.
Purchased gifts have always been hard for me to find - so I try to do something unique. For a birthday gift, I designed a candy bouquet. On each piece of candy, I put a ribbon with a note that incorporated the name of the candy. For example, “I love you to (Reece’s) pieces!”. Some candy lends itself to more suggestive notes, or you could easily do this for a child.
Thoughtful acts are always appreciated. Put a towel in the dryer when your love is in the shower, and replace it with the cold one before they get out. Anticipate other needs and make sure things are in place.
Notes left all over the house for a miniature scavenger hunt make a great game. One day I left clues all around the house before I left. He had to find them all for the prize. I left one inside his towel, hanging on the door, inside his cereal box, under his windshield and other places I knew he would go in the morning. He was most surprised with the cereal box, and almost didn’t’ see the one on the car. Post it notes are perfect for this game.
Buy tickets or make arrangements for your other half to go do something fun with his friends that doesn’t interest you. For mine, it’s going to ride the motorcycle. He seldom takes the initiative to make the arrangements, so sometimes I have to secretly modify his schedule so he can go have a day with the boys.
Make a “dinner in” to avoid the long wait at a restaurant. Get rid of the kids for overnight. If you don’t cook, have a caterer prepare dinner. Dress up like you were going somewhere formal, dim the lights, unplug the TV and get some soft music ready. Celebrate just because you can.
Create a scrapbook of your life together, complete with trinkets from special occasions. Make the last section “to be continued….”
My favorite part of doing something special is the element of surprise. I hate having to get a present for someone just because the holidays calls for it. While roses on Valentine’s Day are nice, I much prefer something a little unexpected. Spending a little time reading up on ideas has inspired me to personalize holidays and make ordinary days something special. Try some of these ideas today - little acts of kindness will yield huge returns!

I just lost my man about three months ago though he is back again full of love and passion with the help of great man Dr. IKHIDE. I NORAH PEDRO from Norway, have been into a relationship with daniel mark since I was 22 years old and I am 28 now. I so much love him but I could not show the love, it was very difficult for me to prove my realness to him because I thought to prove my love to him might make him look down on me and go after other girls. for over six years Daniel has given me all that I ask of him. I always threatened him with break up each time I want to see his level of love for me because I was told if I threaten him, he will propose to me and then will get married to him before I can show my love despite his complains of him not sure of my love I was responding to him with negative words. though I was suspecting he has another girl in his life, I did not border to ask him about that because I was so sure of his love despite my attitude. on the 8th of September a day to my birthday he came and gave me so many lovely gifts like never before claiming to wish me a happy birthday in advance with his words and behavior I expected him to propose to me on my birthday night then I will also tell him of my pregnant for him. I wait for him on my birthday he did not show up not even a call, I tried his number and it was not going through I refuse to go check on him because the anger in me six days later I went to his house and I found nothing not even a sign of my Daniel once live there. I was disappointed, frustrated, confused with so many thoughts on my mind like hanging my self if I did not see him again because I can not my parent about the pregnancy when the man responsible for it had disappeared. our religion's against that, my family will be disappointed in me, I have brought them shame. I look for daniel everywhere till I could chat with him on social network, he warned me never to disturb him again because he already had found another girl that he wants to live his life with, after a while, he blocked me from all access then I could not tell him of my pregnancy for him. so, I needed help from all corners of life, I decide to check to google my self or read some write up on-site on how to coup with my pain because I could not tell anybody about it not even my friends were aware of my pregnancy. I keep reading to cancel my self till I find how Dr. IKHIDE helps so many persons from different walks of life with their testimonies. then I decide to also contact him with dr.ikhide@gmail.com. Because I do not know much about contacting a spell caster, I was not sure he can bring my Dan back but I decide to give him a try though his requirement was another problem I meet with a friend for help because I could not the items that he needed I have to plead with Dr. IKHIDE to help me get the items because really need my man back to take away my shame. just two days after I send him the requirement Daniel calls me, plead for forgiveness. just yesterday he propose to me and I am so happy. you can also contact him with dr.ikhide@gmail.com
