You don’t need to constantly shower your partner with gifts and acts of kindness in order to show your affection, but every so often, it’s nice to have a little something out of the ordinary done for you. Sometimes we need a little way to say thanks or help create a romantic mood for the week. Whatever the reason, you’ll find the perfect idea for a quick and simple way to say “I love you” in the list below:
- Make breakfast in bed.
- Do a chore for your partner.
- Leave a loving voicemail message.
- Bring their favorite take-out home.
- Buy a lottery ticket and write on the back, “Because you feel lucky in love.”
- Buy a potted plant and attach a note that says, “My love for you continues to grow.”
- Buy a spare key and spray paint it red. Attach it to their key ring with a note that says, “You now hold the key to my heart.”
- Pick up a copy of their favorite magazine and leave it for them to find.
- Do something with them you wouldn’t normally do, and be happy about it.
- Give them a night out to do what they want; guilt and kid-free!
- Unexpectedly, whisper a reason why you fell in love with them in their ear.
- Create a playlist of love songs or songs with special meaning.
- Set a weekly recurring task reminder on their phone or computer to tell them you love them.
- Start a private blog or journal dedicated to your partner. Each week write a paragraph about how you feel about them. If you wish, give your partner the password so they can respond and write something back!
- Write short love messages on some index cards. Hide the cards in various places for your partner to find.
- Instead of a dozen roses, go to your local bakery or grocery store and get a dozen homemade cookies.
- Get a single silk rose and attach a note that says, “I will love you until this rose withers away.”
- On the way home, grab a few individual desserts at a bakery or grocery store and some candles. After dinner, set up the candles and dessert and share a few quiet moments together.
- When they least expect it, put on your song and surprise them with a romantic dance.
- The next time you are together in public, make it a point to hold hands.
Kiss 'n Tell!
