Unwrapping the Gift of Love
Celebrations are a time to express love with various gifts that are beautifully packaged to establish an element of suspense and excitement. The gift recipient begins to unwrap what was once sealed away to discover the gift on the other side of the wrapping. Once unveiled, emotions, excitement, and a level of gratitude are expressed. What a difference an unwrapped gift can make.
Expressing love isn’t always about material things and it certainly doesn’t mean you have to break the bank to show love.
Below are two ideas you can use to express love that require very little money; only thought and time.
Coupon Book of Love
This book will allow your friends, family, or coworkers to cash in a coupon when needed. Coupons for a babysitter, housekeeping, spa day on you, or even a car wash. The coupons can either come with an expiration date or a limited number of times the coupon can be cashed in. The beauty of this coupon book is that you can make it yourself right from your home.
An Intimate Box of Love Letters
This is a box of handwritten letters from your heart to your spouse or someone you are dating. These letters are not typed or texted but written out by hand on a form of stationery that reflects their character. Place the letters in a nice, sealed box with a hint of your perfume on the letters so when the box is opened it will immediately remind him of you.
If you aren’t married or dating, you can write letters of affirmation and encouragement to yourself and place them in a nice box. You can pull the letters out in those moments when you feel low and discouraged. These letters from you to you will remind you of how fabulous and loved you are.
I hope this article will encourage you to be creative in expressing love, that you will see you don’t have to have a lot to show someone you love them. Often, it’s the work and the thought behind the gift that leaves an impact.
