How to Express Your Feelings With a Gift

Give her a gift basket of her favorite treats.

Gift-giving can be fraught with apprehension and uncertainty. That is especially the case if you are buying a gift as a way to show how you feel. Whether it is for a holiday, or just a way to show love, use the element of surprise, along with creativity, to express your feelings with a gift.

Instructions

1. Create a music playlist on a new iPod, or similar music device. Fill it with his favorite music or songs that mean a lot to you as a couple.

2. Give her flowers along with a handwritten letter. Instead of having them delivered to her, leave the flowers and letter in her car before work or surprise her at work with them. The letter should be a heartfelt explanation of your feelings for her.

3. Make him a gift basket. Fill it with romantic items such as framed pictures of you together, mementos from when you were dating and even chocolates or other candy that has phrases such as "I love you" on them. Add a lovely note that tells him how much he means to you.

4. Make a photo collage. Create a handmade collage of special pictures and frame it. Another option is to make a collage at a photo department at most drugstores. Use a personalized picture frame with a message engraved in it. The message could tell him that he's the only one for you or that he is the love of your life.

Tips & Warnings

• Make your own card with decorative stamps and stickers to go with the present.
