Creative Ways To Say “I Love You” On Valentine’s Day
Every year, Valentine’s Day serves as a celebration of love, happiness and a commitment to those that you cherish. We all know that roses and chocolates are the traditional Valentine’s Day gift, but what if there were other ways to be especially creative and still express your love? Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Give Him/Her A Fortune
A fortune cookie, that is. If you want to tell someone that you love them in a truly unique way, place a customized message in a fortune cookie that reads, “When I found you, I found a fortune. I love you.”
Name A Star In His/Her Honor
Through the years, the novelty gift of a star personally named after someone special has become an increasingly popular tradition. Most star-naming services allow you to customize the naming with a date, which means you could indicate Valentine’s Day as the date a star was named if you choose. What better way to say “I Love You” than with a gift and card that says, “You are my shining star.” Another possibility is, “When I look at you, I can see forever.”
Get Creative With Engraved Jewelry
The gift of jewelry is a very personal one, and it shows a lot of thought has gone into the occasion. If you really want to let him/her know how much you care, engrave it into precious metal (gold or silver) so that it will be with them forever. If your gift of choice is a watch, you can engrave “Now is the time to say I love you” on the underside of the watch. Rings, bracelets and even pendants can also be engraved.
Design A Photo Collage
If you have been with your sweetheart for some time and have shared many precious moments together, some of which have been captured in images, create a photo collage that tells the story of your romance. At the end, leave an open space with a caption that reads, “I love you and look forward to many more memories in the years to come.”
Create A Homemade Video
If you have special moments captured on video, take snippets and turn them into a film honoring the one you love. Add some background vocals, such as a song with special meaning or a narration by you, and watch as the one you love falls in love with you all over again.
Renew Your Wedding Vows
If you’re already married, there’s no better way to say “I Love You” than by renewing your wedding vows. Take a second honeymoon and remember all of the things that made your first wedding so special. Valentine’s Day is a wonderful day for weddings, but it’s also the perfect day to renew your promise to love one another forever.

WAYS TO GO GREEN IN THE KITCHEN Start a garden. Whether you opt for a full-out vegetable garden or a small window of fresh herbs, the taste of freshness will be unmistakable! Shop locally! Visit local farmers markets or choose locally produced produce whenever possible. Bring your own bags when you visit the grocery store. Switch to energy-efficient light bulbs. Save time and energy by cooking a double portion and setting half aside in the freezer for a quick meal at a later date. Get energized and leave the appliances alone. Whenever possible, mix and beat ingredients by hand, cook multiple items at the same time, and avoid washing dishes unnecessarily. Use energy-efficient appliances such as the slow cooker or toaster oven, which can use up to 30% less energy. Be aware of energy wasters such as excessive pre-heating or simmering. Ditch the wraps (such as saran wrap or foil) and make the switch to reusable containers for lunches and leftovers. Put a lid on it! Did you know that cooking with lids could save up to three times the energy? Keep all that steam inside the pot for a more energy-efficient (and faster!) meal. Go fresh—say goodbye to excessively packaged foods, which are often produced using processes that are harmful to the environment. Cooking meals from scratch using fresh ingredients is not only healthier, it’s often less expensive and better for the environment. Decide what you are looking for before you open the fridge, and never keep the door open longer than absolutely necessary.
Water Features For Your Yard A water feature can make a major change in your yard, and there are plenty of different ways to go about adding one. From a simple and small fountain to a koi pond or waterfall, you can use water to create a peaceful sense of a real escape from life in your yard. Small Water Features For small yards or for those looking to add something simple, a basic fountain is easy to add. They come in a variety of types, shapes, and sizes and can fit into any landscaping. Your fountain can be a centerpiece for the yard or can be placed near the patio. You can even get a small tabletop fountain for the patio table. Most fountains are easy enough to install by yourself. They use a pump system that circulates the water and keeps the fountain running. Follow all of the instructions for set-up, use, and care that come with the fountain and you can enjoy the sound of trickling water for many years to come. Adding A Pond A pond is a really eye-catching and special addition to any yard. You will need some space for it, but even smaller yards can manage one. Koi ponds are a very popular choice, as the fish are lovely and create an ambience in the yard. They fit in well with any sort of Japanese or other Asian landscape design, but really extend into other styles as well. Make sure your pond has a system for keeping the water circulating and clean; standing water can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes, and it can get quite dirty over time. It’s best to have a professional install the water system for your pond. Waterfalls You may not be able to have Niagara Falls in your yard to enjoy, but you can get a waterfall added as a feature of your yard. These can be falls that descend over a rock wall, a small stream that runs over consecutive drops in a sloped yard, or something in a corner where water falls down into a small pond. A waterfall adds the sound of moving water to the air all the time. Be sure you have proper drainage for the water system. Water features are a beautiful addition to any yard, and your imagination is really the only limit. Many professionals can help you to design the water feature that is right for your yard and your needs.
