1. Share five minutes of uninterrupted eye contact. Creepy ... but definitely a memory.
2. Watch a sunset or sunrise together with your favorite indie-rock anthem playing in the background and pretend you’re in a slightly obvious hipster film.
3. Call your parents and thank them for specific things they’ve done for you.
4. Pick out a book and read aloud together. Quality time together and the expansion of your
individual/collective knowledge bases.
5. Set up a “media free” day/evening so you can fully focus attention on a loved one.
6. Get fancy. It’s a classic, but dressing up and splurging on a friend or loved one is a timeless way to tell someone you care.
7. "Family Love Michael." Throw a surprise “We appreciate you!” party with close friends where everyone gives a short speech about why someone is loved.
8. Plan “the perfect date.” Do exactly what he or she loves to do, with no strings attached.
9. Rent an ice-skating rink. Play “Endless Love” over the PA, and have dinner at center ice.
10. Revisit a first date or first meeting place and reminisce about what brought you together, what you’ve learned since and what you’re looking forward to together.
11. The Red Snuggie. Truly the gift that keeps on giving, all year long.
Pop some popcorn and arrange a marathon of your love’s favorite films from his or her childhood or college days.
12. Make a handmade Valentine’s Day card. Creative, frame-able and ultra-sweet.
13. Write out an Alphabet of Appreciation. “You are A for Awesome, B for Beautiful, C for ...” (you get the idea).
14. Be a Merry Maid. Surprise a friend by cleaning their office, kitchen, car or bedroom—guaranteed to result in shock and awesome.
15. Babysit for free for that couple you know desperately needs a night out.
16. Be the Grocery Fairy. Most practical gift ever—surprise a friend with a week’s worth of fresh groceries.
17. FRESH. BAKED. COOKIES. Need we say more?
18. Knit something and give it away. Craftsmanship + generosity = LOVE. (Note: Everyone loves mittens.)
19. Mixtape 2013. Curating 12-15 hand-picked tracks for a friend or loved one says, “I care about you ... and the soundtrack to your life.”
20. Handwrite a letter explaining why you love someone—and be specific.
21. Dedicate and perform a karaoke song (in public, of course) to your beloved.
22. “[Your Loved One’s Name] 4 Lyf.” Finally commit and get that lower back tattoo you’ve been considering.
23. Host a “Wes Anderthon.” Pop some popcorn and arrange a marathon of your love’s favorite films from his or her childhood or college days.
24. Two words: shoe polish. It makes your shoes look spiffy, but it's also the best way to write "I heart you" on the window of your sweetie's Subaru
