When you are in love or falling in love, the romantic side of your heart takes on a creative juice. You want to do something different. You want to have a unique approach to tell your loved one the way you feel. Besides all the popular ways that had been done a trillion times before, you dig into your soul finding your very own expression. Below are a few suggestions for you to try. Here are a few ways you can try to show your love to that special someone:

1. Buy some paper lanterns, hang them up around your garden, set up two comfortable chairs, and sip coffee, tea, or whatever your loved one preferred. The serenity setting will tell how much you love your mate. Especially when he/she realizes the time it takes to put them up.

2. Put up a two person tent in your back yard, and watch a romantic movie on a portable DVD together. You will both feel like being kids again.

3. Give him/her a manicure and pedicure. (Men enjoy an occasional pampering too.) Your devotion in making your loved one feel good is priceless.

4. Keep a journal of good thoughts about him/her, and give it to him/her just "because". Who wouldn't like to read good things about himself/herself?

5. Dry a few flower petals each time you've received, arrange them in an album, and describe your feeling underneath.

6. Collect the greeting cards that he/she had sent to you, and keep them in a scrapbook.

7. Start a tradition of collecting rock, leaf, shell, flower, etc. of the places where you were together. Surprise him/her on his/her special day.

These ideas are simple, manageable, and sentimental. Your loved one will not only impressed, but treasure your thoughtfulness and caring. Sometimes, little things weight more than big expensive gifts. You will be glad to hear your mate says, "Wow! I can't believe you keep these flowers!" Imagine yourself as a receiver of one of these ideas, isn't it a heartfelt, genuine love expressed by your mate?
