21 Ways to say or show your love on Valentines Day

1. Purchase some clear red balloons. Before blowing them up, place either wrapped candies, small gifts, and/or love poems inside each one, and then give them to your loved one as a bouquet.

2. Make a meal only out of heart-shaped items, foods that are red, or both. Try red velvet cake, valentini martini, fruit and cheese salad or a heart shaped cake.

3. Knit a scarf.

4. Write a love letter to say I love you.

5. Create handmade coupons with gifts your partner can use anytime, such as a massage or a night out on the town with friends.

6. Does your partner ever ask you why you love them? Then create your own little booklet using pound store items just for them entitled, "Why I Love You: # Reasons".

7. Make a mixed CD of all of your favorite songs, or create a compilation of love songs that remind you of your mate. Better yet, learn how to play one of these love songs on the guitar and serenade him or her on Valentine's Day.

8. Just look into each other’s eyes.

9. Make your own fortune cookies to take along to a Chinese food restaurant for dinner, and use them to woo your date on Valentine's Day.

10. Grab some construction paper and cut out as many hearts as you like. On each one, share a story about your relationship that shows how much you care. Once finished, take the hearts and string them individually from the ceiling so it looks like your home is raining love.

11. Request a song for your beloved on the radio.

12. Leave a rose on the car.

13. Cook or buy an I-love-you cookie cake.

14. Use weed and grass killer to inscribe the words I love you into your lover's lawn. (Be prepared to ask for forgiveness later.)

15. Give her/him 8 roses, each with a letter on them so they spell out I Love You.

16. Spell out I Love You with chocolate chips on a pancake.

17. Say it in a foreign language.
French=je t'aime
Italian=ti amo
German= ich liebe dich
Spanish=te quero
Portuguese= amo-te
Dutch= ik hou van jou

18. Send him, or her, a text message on the hour every hour for the whole twenty four hours of Valentine's Day that simply says I love you.

19. Leave a note with GIANT letters that say I love you under her/him windshield wiper at work.

20. Have a T-shirt custom made to say, I love Karen or whatever their name is.

21. Make a scrolling marquee on her/him screensaver that says I love you.
