How do you love thee? Here's a list of 40 ways to say so to the special person(s) in your life. It doesn't have to be a lover. Some ideas will work just as well for a friend, child, parent or other loved one.
Many of the suggestions won't cost you a penny, just a lot of love and some creative effort. Plan a surprise that is rational or romantic, sentimental or silly, economical or extravagant--whatever you do, it will be a love-filled February 14th and you'll be thought of as a sweetheart throughout the year.
Borrow his car and have a new stereo system installed. | |
Give tickets to a local sporting event he'll enjoy and suggest he bring along his best buddy...other than you. | |
While he's at work, have his car cleaned and detailed or do it yourself as a labor of love. | |
Compile some romantic memory photos in a decorative album and mark with sentimental captions. | |
Have a boudoir photo taken of yourself and slip a copy of it into his luggage the next time he has to leave town, or put it in his briefcase to find on Valentine's morning. Either way, you know he'll soon be rushing back home to you. | |
Either do it yourself or arrange for a cleaning crew to come in to spruce up his bachelor pad. | |
Greet him at the door wearing his gift--a team shirt, jacket or necktie...and that's all! | |
Create an "I love you because you." list of all his best qualities. Include things like "Does vehicle maintenance or trash disposal without being asked." Then frame it and read it to him. | |
Find an antique or replica pocket watch and put a photo of yourself inside. | |
Go on a movie date and see an action, adventure or Three Stooges film without sighing and shaking your head as you watch the movie. | |
Track down a copy of a favorite book or album from his far past for a nostalgic gift. | |
Book a room at a local adult motel or rent a couple of sexy movies for a very private showing. | |
Find one of his old
college or service buddies via the Internet or Directory Assistance and set up
a phone call reunion. (Visit the library for phone books.) |
Take her to a "chick flick" she wants to see without complaining. | |
Make a candlelit dinner for the two of you (while the kids are away for the evening), even if your cooking skills consist of heat and serve. Serve it on your best china and linens and then do the dishes yourself while she relaxes. | |
Set the atmosphere with flickering candles, the sounds of soft music, and a tub filled with bubbles perfumed by her favorite fragrance. Let her enjoy it while you put the kids to bed. Give her a glass or wine or champagne to enjoy as she soaks. Then offer to wash her hair and scrub her back -- with you either in or out of the tub...her preference. | |
Give her a foot massage and polish her toe nails. | |
Offer to
play Cupid by introducing a friend of her's, whom she would enjoy seeing in a
relationship, to a friend or acquaintance of yours whom you know might
be a good love connection.
| |
Give her a locket with photos of you and her in it or photos of your children. | |
Take her car to be serviced with an oil change, tire rotation and routine vehicle maintenance. | |
Arrange an evening out for her with her friends and treat the group to dinner and a movie while you babysit. | |

Write a note on the bathroom mirror that will make her heart skip a beat when she steps out of the shower. | |
Create a list of all the reasons you love her and read it aloud to her in bed. | |
Give her a call after she's had an important meeting to find out how it went. | |
Call her at least once a week just to say you love her. | |
Plan an evening out or at home for the two of you and you make the babysitter arrangements. | |
Write up 12 coupons that gives her a day to herself of her choosing -- one day a month for a year. | |
Fill up the cupboards, closets, purses, luggage and drawers with love notes you've hidden that she'll come across throughout the year. |
Hire
someone to write a personalized song and record it, or write it yourself and
sing it to your sweetie, either at a favorite Karaoke bar or when it's just
you two. This is a great gift to give to a parent or child as well.
| |
If your honey has a collection, buy something to add to it. | |
Get an autographed photo of a favorite sports figure or movie star and have it framed. | |
Write a sexy story with
the two of you as the lead characters and read it aloud. (Record and/or print
a copy to be enjoyed whenever you're apart from each other.) | |
Give the pet lover a photo of the favored feline, furry, feathered or fishy friend in a fanciful or fun frame. | |
"Hijack" your honey for a romantic getaway (but check with someone at work to make sure there are no pressing deadlines that would spoil your trip.) | |

Show up with a picnic basket for a surprise luncheon at the job site or school yard. | |
Create a web page to post your fond and fervent feelings in cyberspace. If it's truly personal, you can always add a password protection so that it is for your lover's eyes only. Otherwise, state your feelings clearly so you can "shout it to the world." | |
Arrange for a hot air balloon ride for two. | |
Put
together a Cupid coupon book for personal services such as doing chores for a
day or a weekend, helping with homework, a free "pass" of a night of no
nagging when your loved one misses curfew or arrives home late from work
without a phone call, and add some fun activities such as an evening of
romantic delight, indulgence in a not-on-the-diet meal, total control of the
remote for a specified period, or other items the recipient would enjoy.
