- Make ANY dinner and serve it up with a candle on the table or Dollar Tree decor (they have lots of cute things) Consider taking it out to a romantic spot.
- Lay a blanket out and snuggle under the stars.
- Nail holes into empty soup cans and set candle inside for unique candle holder
- Offer to watch a friend's kids while Mom or Mom and Dad go out, especially single Moms and Military Wives who's hubby are not home or maybe they have no family and no money to hire a sitter for 4 hours
- Swap date night times/days watching each other's kids so each couple can go out without worrying about paying for a sitter or have no guilt over someone else watching their kids cuz they will be paying the favor back
- Make a poster that says YOU ARE LOVED! Jesus Loves You!! and post it or personally stand where God leads you out on a road/corner somewhere. I did this in Houston and stood on the corner of a busy road and felt so "radical" but God used it as a teaching moment for me to get out of my comfort/shy zone and be a voice for Him. I loved the responses. Most people honked and waved at me smiling. Many just drove by as if the pasteboard was blank.
- Write "love letters" or appreciation letters on regular notebook paper and deliver. You can go to the Dollar Tree and get 6 blank cards in a pack for $1.00 along with so many other goodies.
- Offer to mow someone's lawn, bring in their trash cans or newspapers, ask them if you can walk with them as they walk with their dog
- Volunteer anywhere
- Cut hearts out of newspaper or construction paper and write to give
- Cut and prepare all foods into heart shapes (pancakes/fruit/pizza/cinnamon rolls/sandwiches)
- Give the kids extra bubbles and play time in the bath
- Send messages by voice or text or email or online to....anyone for free.
- Take the grocery cart back in for someone
- Take your neighbors trash cans in for them
- Make red jello and drink cranberry juice for kids (your own family or invite some over) or make a creative snack
- Freeze strawberry smoothies into popsicles
- Knock out a Honey-Do
- Choose your battles everyday but especially today
- Volunteer at the school/charity center or church or pet shelter.
- Cut out heart shapes and write a Scripture on one side and pin to a string/line and every day turn one heart around to reveal The Word (much like an advent idea)
