Top Ten Valentine's Day Gifts - Money Can't Buy

Jennifer Vasconcelos
1. Time - Nothing says " I love you " like making time to be with someone. Your time and attention are the greatest gifts you have to offer. Be present and attentive to their every need and whim. For a single day (surly you can skip the bowling tournament and the world will not fall apart) give them your undivided attention. Shut-off the phone, the tv, and the computer.

2. Kisses, kisses and more kisses - Particularly for those in long term relationships. Kiss your partner passionatly like you did when you were first dating. Remind him/her they still ignite a flame in your soul.

3. Massage - touch is one of the most powerful ways to show love. Warm up those hands and get to caressing your baby. Besides who knows where this may lead.

4. Write it down - Spend a few minutes writing your partner a love note. Outline for them all of the things you love most about them. This may require a few minutes to sit down and do but it will means so much more than a ten dollar box of chocolates you bought at the drug store on your way home from work.

5. Take Care of him/her in some special or unique way- Iron a shirt, take out the trash, do the dishes,cook dinner,take the kids to school,walk the dog, start the car on a cold day. Something that you know that your partner would otherwise have to do. Just take care of it for them. Show them that their well-being is important to you. This is applicable for husband and wives alike.

6. Sweet Lovings - Take your partner in a warm embrace and whisper " I love you" in his or her ear.

7. Play their favorite love song - You should know it. If not find out - this is just another important way you can show you care.

8. Wear the (fill-in-the-blank) - they bought you. Even if you don't really like it. It's a small sacrifice to show your level of devotion.

9. Call - Call your partner just to say. " I was thinking of you"

10 Email, text or Im a special message to your sweetie - something you know will touch his/her heart.

Everyone wants to feel loved. There are no exceptions. In todays busy world we often get so caught up in the fast-pace of our hurried lives, we have little time for much else. These tips are things money can't buy - gifts truly from the heart. Some people want the material tokens as well, and that is ok too, but coupled with one or two of the above you have all the makings of a Valentines Day neither of you are likely to forget. How about for one day you give them what they truly need and deserve? Love is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. Share it with the one who shares your life. Have a Blessed Valentines Day!
