365 Creative Ways to say I LOVE YOU

Love is in the air...it's almost Valentines Day! It's the time when we express our love to our spouse. I'm sure it's not just on this day we express our love but 365 days x 3 right? Or maybe even more than that. Anyways, here are some creative ways to express your love to your HUbbies ( or wives if you're a male :) . I won't be giving 365 ideas but I'll just start off to get you thinking. Some of these ideas, I got from books and applied it, some ideas I got from my friends, some was done to me by my Hubby while others I did for my HUbby ( you get to be 100% creative esp. when you can't buy presents for your Hubby..hehehehe!). If you have your own creative ideas. PLease feel free to share them too.
Warning: Some of the ideas maybe too "corny" for you . But even how "corny" it may be, but if you mean it with all your heart, it'll give long lasting rewards in your marriage.
1) Leave love notes, poems in your spouse's wallet.
2) Post some heart shaped post-its everywhere in the bedroom (mirror, inside the closet, pc, toothbrust and etc) . Write on these notes.."I love you because...(all the reasons in the world why you love your spouse).
3) Send him an e-card on normal days.
4) Call him just to say you Miss him.
5) Make a Love Trail. Post a big "I Love You" poster on your front door , spread flowers. confetties from the front door to the room, inbetween are heartshaped posters on the floor with your love commitment written out.
6) Serve breakfast in bed with heart-shaped bread, morning note and all other paraphernalias :) .
7) Leave a love letter on the fridge or any place where your mate usually goes first thing in the morning.
8) Create a Love Letter Treasure Hunt. Write more than 5 love letters and hide them everywhere. Then ask your spouse to look for it with clues attached.
9) Give Love Coupons as gifts. For example, in about 10-15 blank call cards, write down all the 'gifts', 'rewards' your spouse can redeem at a certain time. i.e. " You're entitled for a dinner date with me on Feb 14, 2008", "Entitled to claim unlimited kisses. Hurry, offer claimable while supply lasts! " hahahah! You got the idea? something like that.
10) Give him a Body Spa, facial or massage. ( This is Janet's expretise, ask her of some easy do-it-yourself body spa recipe )
11) Make a voice tape/ message for your spouse telling him of your love, dreams and etc. This is best esp. when you or your spouse is away for a long time.
12) Set a romantic candlelight dinner. Nothing expensive, you just need some candles, food, a little music and a lot of LOVe.
13) Pray for your spouse ( with your spouse) thanking God for his/her life and all the other needs.
The list can go on and on...this is just for us to get started and be reminded to think of creative ways to make our days with our spouse more and more memorable.
May all of you have more blessed and romantic days ahead!
Note: I would appreciate if you could add more in the list...I need some more ideas here too!

now this reminds me of my COM III speech. mao gyud ni sya akong topic net. ahahahahah as far as i can remember i suggested that you paint a picture of your partner. hahaahah (sympre I.D. student gud tah atoh)

but seriously, I find it sweet yet funny to buy our husbands a BOXER SHORTS. its the kind of gift that only a wife can get for her husband. last time i bought him the "winnie the pooh" boxer shorts. then next "tom and jerry". then the other time, naa pa hearts hearts. eheheheh

Thanks for sharing these romantic ideas.

You inspired me to share a "Love Trail" memory. My hubby surprised me on our anniversary several years ago. He led me to a trail of notes and clues and ended up to a room of balloons. Each balloon had a special note inside. I'll share it on my blog one of these days. :)
