365 Kisses
Buy an inexpensive decorative jar or container. Then buy 365 Hershey Kisses, one for every day of the year. On the Hershey paper tabs, write one thing you like, love, or appreciate about your significant other, and only allow them to have one each day for a year. It takes some time and thought, but they will think of you with every daily kiss. This is a great idea when distance is involved, but works wonders at home too.

500 Days of Good Luck
My boyfriend and I have been dating for over a year and I was getting antsy waiting for our 2 year anniversary to come up. So, I did the math and figured out when our 500th day anniversary would be. The week before we were together for 500 days, I told him that I was going to take him out to dinner that weekend for a special celebration. Then, all week, I just kept talking about how excited I was, which, in turn, got him excited. On our 500th day anniversary I picked him up. Waiting on my car seat was a medium sized glass jar/container that I filled with 500 pennies. Inside the container was a heart shaped note that read: "Find a penny pick it up; all day long you'll have good luck!" I then wrote how these past 500 days I have felt so lucky that it has been as if I found a penny every day. He was so happy and so excited that I took the time to think up something so special.

A Proposal that Lasts Forever
For a proposal, take a picture of each letter in WILL YOU MARRY ME from different signs or whatever. Each letter indiviually on different pictures (14 in all). They can be placed in a small photo album, one per page so that she will have to flip through them as she reads the letters when you are ready to propose. Then dress nice and have someone take a picture of you down on one knee in the spot the proposal will take place, with the ring out. Add this as the final picture in the album. Then tell your love that you are going out so dress nice. Put the same outfit on you took your picture in. Take her to the same spot, so that the picture is identical (maybe a park). Then, when she is ready, give her the pictures and tell her to look. When she gets to the end there you will be, just like in the picture. Wait till the last picture to get on one knee. They will have the memory of that proposal for a lifetime as well as a keepsake of the moment.

A Box of Tissues
One day my boyfriend gave me a box of pop up tissues. The box was perfectly sealed, so I never suspected a thing. However, when I opened the box, the first tissue read 150 reasons why I love you and each tissue after that had a reason or more why he loved me. He even made the tissues pop up perfectly again. It was the sweetest thing that he has ever done for me and it meant so much to me knowing how much I mean to him. It made my day, so maybe you can use this idea and make your loved ones day.

A Chance to Dance
My husband and I were having dinner at a local dinner with some friends one evening and after dinner he went to warm up the car and bring it around front. A favorite song of ours started playing on the radio when he pulled up. He rolled down the windows, turned up the volume, and led me to the front of the car in the headlights. We danced in the parking lot with the snow falling and people watching. However, I felt that we were the only two people in the whole world. We've been married eight years now and we never miss the chance to dance. Including parking lots when the mood strikes us.
