Gifts to give someone you love

The gift of listening

Try giving this to someone in need. And you must really listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your responses. Just listen.

The gift of signs of affection

Be generous with your hugs, kisses and gentle squeezes of the hand. Let these tiny actions demonstrate the love inside of you.

The gift of a note

It can be as simple as "I Love You" or as creative as a sonnet. Put your notes where they will surprise your loved one.

The gift of laughter

Just cut out a cartoon, save a clever article. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you."

The gift of compliment

A simple "You look good in blue" or "Good supper" can be of greatest value to those who may feel they are being taken for granted.

The gift of a favor

Help with the dishes, run an errand, etc.....do it willingly.

The gift of leaving alone

There are times in our lives when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Become more sensitive to those times and give solitude.

The gift of a cheerful disposition

Try to be cheerful around those you love.

The gift of a game

Offer to play your loved one's favorite game. Even if you lose, you'll be a winner.

The gift of prayer

Pray for your loved ones and let them know you pray for them.
