Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Love letter
• Random trinkets

1. Be unique. Refrain from drawing little hearts around the border, dousing the paper in sweet perfume or all that cliché stuff with which love letters are known to come. Ick.

2. Include a photo. A picture of yourself, somewhere fun you guys went or a sunset over the mountains makes for a warm cozy feeling.

3. Add a memento. Anything from a ticket stub to the first show you saw together to part of a shoelace your broke on your first date will warm the person’s heart.

4. Kiss the envelope. Even though this is kind of cliché, it’s cool. Women can wear bright lipstick to do this. Men can simply write SWAK, or sealed with a kiss.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember, it’s a love letter, not a raunchy sex letter. Don’t include pornographic photos, a mist of bordello perfume or sleazy underwear.

• Don’t include a lock of your hair.
