52. Renew the vows you made to one another if you are married. If you are not married, this idea can be altered to fit any relationship. Renew your wedding vows every year on your anniversary; reenact your wedding day; renew your committment to your children; recognize close friends in a special way.
53. Take one full day and plan to have three very special meals with the one you love. For breakfast - serve breakfast in bed, buy Alpha Bits cereal and spell "I love you" on the plate or in the bowl, eat breakfast at a place where you can enjoy the morning view. For lunch - plan a picnic lunch, take the one you love out for lunch and have close friends waiting to join you, or order pizza and have the cook spell "I love you" with pepperoni. For dinner - have a candlelight dinner at home, eat somewhere where you can watch the sunset, find the most romantic place for dinner and go our for dinner.
54. Write a lover note. Who can say they don't like getting a note from someone with the words I love you written on it. Write it on the mirror in the bathroom with toothpaste or lipstick. Take the one you love to the beach and write "love letters" in the sand. Slip a note in the cereal box so that it comes out as the cereal is poured. But a big "I love you" sign inside the refrigerator. Write "I love you" in bold black letters on the tenth sheet of your roll of toilet paper. Use a bar of soap to write "I love you" backwards on the rear windshield so that the worlds will be read forward in the rearview mirror. Find an old pillowcase and write on it so that your loved one can end the day with a final "I love you".
55. Pamper your loved one for a day. How about a haircut or time with a hairdresser. A manicure. A massage by a masseuse. An hour in a hot tub. A sauna. A nap.
56. Create a calendar for the one you love. Provide love thoughts for a week or make enough pages for a month. Write a brief thought on each page about why you love this special person, or tell what you like best about him or her. Put chocolate kisses on special days.
57. Perform some awful or tedious task that has been hanging over your loved one's head. Pull weeds in the garden or flowerbed, replace or wash all the screens on the doors, clean the garage or closet.
58. Find a lake resort within driving distance where a rowboat can be rented. Don't even think of renting a boat with an outboard motor - think love not noise. Pack an ice chest and bring along your favorite snacks. Bring along some old bread or crackers to feed the ducks, too. And don't forget the life jackets!
59. Do you have a habit or mannerism that irritates those around you, for instance, snapping your gum, cussing, leaving the lights on in the house, channel surfing, whistling, returning the car without fuel, etc.? You can show those close to you how much you care about them by changing those habits that bother them.
60. Most of us remember sitting down as little kids while an adult read from a book of fairy tales. Create a story of your own based on your relationship with the one your love. This idea is also appropriate for your entire family or any other groups of friends or loved ones.
61. You can tell someone you love them by doing good deeds. If the one you love has a special interest in some cause, has actively volunteered for a charity, or has spent time trying to save a part of our Earth, show them that you support that interest.
62. Everyone has a bad day. Some of us even had bad weeks! There is no time in a person's life when they need to feel loved more than when the gray clouds appear. Try to brighten their day with laughter. If you are not able to humor them, just sit with them, listen to them, affirm your love, and most importantly, hug them.
63. Plan a "This-Is-Your-Life event!
64. Hold a special dinner, invite some of your closest friends, and have a "roast" by your loved ones friends.
65. One way to say "I love you" is to go on a shopping spree and buy the one you love as many gifts as possible. But since most people don't have enough money to do that, this suggestion is a little different. Just don't spend any money. Once you enter a store, go your separate ways and search for the perfect gift for each other regardless of the cost. Then, when you have rejoined one another, show each other the gifts you selected. Then put both of the items back and leave the store. It doesn't cost you a dime, and you'll have great fun finding the perfect gift.
66. Make your loved one's favorite book a special gift. Search used bookstores for a first or second printing copy. Personalize it with a very special and personalized message on the inside cover of the book. Have it autographed if the author of the book is still living by sending the book to them via certified mail providing a shipping box and enough postage to return it to you.
67. Before the one you love leaves for work one morning, decorate the car as someone might decorate a wedding car. This will be your special way of declaring your love publicly.
68. Create a scrapbook of your times together. Trace your relationship with your loved one back to the time it began. If you have loved this person for any length of time, you probably have collected some pictures over the months or years. Take those pictures, put them in a scrapbook, and write your own captions for each. Make some comments sentimental and other humerous. Present the scrapbook to your loved one and go through it together.
69. Have a portrait taken. If your budget will handle the expense, go out and have a nice portrait make of you and give it to the one you love.
71. Dance with your loved one in your living room.
71. Send them a FAX that says, "I love you".
72. Tell the people you love you are grateful for their friendship.
73. Learn how to say "I love you" in sign language.
74. Write a special someone a love letter.
75. Walk up, put your arms around someone yo love, and say, "I love you".
Still more?! If so . . .
