Gestures of Love...
We are not talking about singing from a mountain top here, we’re thinking practical and simple ideas in this list of gestures of love. It may seem small, but offering your time to your loved one can really show them that you care. So here are just a few ideas you could expand upon.
1. Offer to wash and clean their car. It is certainly a job that needs doing and if your loved one agrees, they will appreciate that this took you time and effort. If this is not quite appropriate, then cutting the grass or doing other household chores such as washing the dishes for a week could really go a long way as a gesture to show them that you care.
2. Booking a vacation or spa visit. You may both be about to have some time off together but you haven't made specific plans yet. You could surprise your loved one with a short weekend trip away or a holiday for a future date. Even a trip or vouchers for a spa or pampering idea will show thought and forward planning on your part.
3. Booking tickets for a concert or event. From going to a play, a concert, a sports game or even to the cinema, Valentine’s Day events are likely to be extremely popular, so booking this idea ensures you will both have somewhere special to go on the actual day. It is advisable to book at least a few weeks beforehand. Failing this, renting a film or attending a free event such as a gallery opening would still earn you points!
4. Dinner Reservations. It is always problematic on Valentine’s Day and the weekends around it to book your favorite restaurant. So get in there early and make plans with your loved one and discuss it together, or simply surprise them on the day with the reservation you have made. As with the above idea for booking events, you don’t want to leave this last minute as things will book up quickly around this time.
5. Surprises! From the usual buying candy, cookies, ordering flowers or a personalized gift, there are countless options out there. If planning to propose in your relationship, then Valentine’s Day would certainly be a lovely option and a very memorable one too.
