# In the
morning, tuck a love note in his pocket or her pocketbook or other certain-to-be-found
spot. Jot down some meaningful words on a piece of paper – “Can’t wait to
wrap my arms around you tonight!”; “What’s for ‘dessert’?”; “You make me happy
every day!” – and tuck it in a conspicuous location to be easily discovered during the
day.
# Pick a
few household chores your Valentine usually does and surprise them by doing it
before they get a chance, i.e., making the bed. It doesn’t sound romantic,
but the thought will most certainly count.
# Create a
year-long calendar with photos of just the two of you above (top page) each
month. Office supply stores will insert the spiral/binding for you.
# Leave a
note on your mate’s pillow expressing how special you think he/she is. Place a
couple of mints on the pillow, too (or a single rose)…all to be discovered at
bedtime.
# Create
an indoor picnic with available props, i.e., picnic tablecloth, paper goods. Share
finger foods and favorite treats along with a glass of wine. Spice up “dessert.”
Enjoy your picnic on the living room floor or in bed. Play card games, board
games, or make up your own.
# Decorate
a unique-looking jar or box with craft items. Write numerous love notes on small
pieces of paper and fill the jar with them. Present the jar to your sweetheart.
# Write “I
love you because….” notes and insert them into balloons. Blow up the balloons,
and spread the balloons throughout your bedroom for your Valentine to pop and
capture each message.
# Write a
“Top 10 Reasons Why I Love You” list.
# Present
your Valentine IOU coupons: I will make dinner; I will do the laundry; I will take care
of the kids one day a month for the next year; I will clean the kitchen for a week; I
will serve you breakfast in bed.
# When you
make that special dinner…Just like when you go to a fancy
event and a “dinner menu” is put on each plate describing each food item, do
something similar. For example, on your menu, write “Spaghetti & Meatballs, made with
passion to be with YOU.” Don’t forget to give your “event” or “restaurant”
a name at the top of the menu.
# If you don’t have a special sweetheart, focus on bringing a smile or
laughter to everyone
you come in contact with on Valentine’s Day.
