I made my mother, 80 years old and always cold, a no sew blanket. I made this with a friend and we had so much fun hanging out together for the afternoon, I made a second one for my boyfriend. It's like a warm hug!

Make some one fell loved by doing something special for them as making chicken noodle soup for them when they are sick or taking over flowers or chocolate just because!

I think the tiny little things do it best since it shows you are paying attention. A big extravaganza can be fun but we can't always do that but sweet little touches work wonders.

Do little things for the ones you love to show them that you care, such as, fix their lunch, write them notes or make sure they take their medicines.

I like giving my husband my total attention when he gets home after work & wants to share his day, on date night or whenever he wants to talk. Its a simple thing to do & makes him feel like he matters & is important. It's the little things in life

My hubby loves my undivided attention so when he diets home from work I will with him for awhile while he has a cup of decaf & listen (don't understand a thing about electricity but talks to me I'm an expert!). He thrives on attention!!

When my husband packs to go out of town to do underground pipeline i always stick a note or two in his bag, Somewhere that he doesn't look right away like in a sock or underwear or pocket of jeans that i know that he will be wearing. He loves getting them and saves them in his wallet.

I think one of the best ways to make someone feel loved is actions over words. That surprise visit from a friend with a bowl of chicken soup when you’re sick, the handmade blanket you knit for a baby shower, the roses from your boyfriend or husband you get and it’s not your birthday, a note tucked into your kid’s lunch bag with a positive affirmation, paying it forward by buying a veteran lunch. All of these acts of kindness are so appreciated and say “I Love You” better than any words.

On my Mother 80 th . Birthday , the week before her birthday , Gave her a card each day and small little gift , to where she was looking forward , wondering what kind of surprise had for her that day. Even had a man from Church sing her favorite songs. And her special day went all out for her. That's how much I love her.

Action speaks louder than words. These acts are more appreciated than any kind of words. Thank a veteran for their service and see the response you get. Awesome!!!!! I know; I am a veteran.

The best way I know of to show someone I love them is by telling them sincerely, hugging them and doing acts of kindness.

Linda Moore

I think that little thoughtful things are best. I leave a little treat for my grandson after school, mail my granddaughter a letter with some stickers or making a favourite meal for my loved ones. It’s the little things that people remember! ❤️

My love language is gifting. It started when I was a little girl. I would wrap up “gifts” for my family (never mind that it was something that belonged to them already, it was the thought that counts, right?)
Today I keep my ears open and listen and make notes when someone mentions something they like or would love to have. I try to get it as long as it’s within my finances.And the best gifts are the ones for no reason just because I love them and are thinking about them. I especially like to make and receive homemade gifts!

Cindy Copeland

My husband travels a lot so when he's gone I try to leave cards in his suitcase, one for every day that he's gone so he knows I'm thinking about him. For my kids I like to do something unexpected for them. Something they are expecting to have to do themselves. It's kind of a double surprise.

How to make some one fill loved, listen to them.

Brenda Thul

I think making someone feel loved comprises the little everyday things. Something as simple as a smile can let someone know they are appreciated and loved. Add in little touches that mean something to the person; doing a chore for them that they don't like doing, making them a snack of their favorite foot or just listening to them with your undivided attention. These all send the message that that person is loved.

To show someone love is to give them undivided attention when you're with them.

Simple acts seem to work best. Baking a favorite dessert, cooking a favorite dinner, giving a card, etc.

Thanking them for doing their "jobs", even though it's part of day to day routine, it's nice not to be taken for granted. A smile or holding a door open...just be kind!

It's the little things that matter most. A smile, a hug, or just listening to what the other person has to say, without saying anything. Just being there for them through the good times and the bad. Thank you for this chance.

Bobbi Marshall

I do little things every day to show my husband and kids that I care! It doesn't have to be anything that cost money. Just the litle things as I like to say.

I like to make my husband feel special by just doing little simple things for him, like going to get something upstairs for him, take him a drink so that he doesn't have to get up, etc.

Big my birthday falls this months and i had a seeing friend make fabric tea on the the holders fir each if the ladies. - I love homemade items! There are slits for individual tea bags and I adddf a chocolate caramel heart in a slit. Fun, pretty, useful and sweet.

Carol Catto

I think sometimes just listening to what someone has to say makes them feel loved. I have a few close friends that I can tell any problem to and I know it will stay with them. I also do the same for them. My friends and I are in our late 60's so we do not need a lot of things. Friendship is more important to us at this point in our lives. Happy Valentine's Day Sheila.

Do things for them without being told or asked to. Say please and be courteous to one another. Random acts of kindness.

By letting them know I am here for them each and every day. My daughters know they can talk to me about anything. My husband knows I love him and appreciate him. He has been a wonderful husband and father to our girls and I let know know all the time. I love and appreciate my family dearly and wouldn’t change a thing about our lives together.

Do something unexpected for someone. Does not have to be something big, maybe get them a little something just because. No occasion, just to let them know you are thinking of them. I've had it happen to me, and let me tell you, I was so touched. It's like an unexpected hug.

I do many things to make my family feel loved all the time. When my children talk to me I give them my undivided attention one at a time. I do the same for my husband. I leave little notes for my children and my husband. I send daily morning texts to my husband and children, so that they have a good day and know that I'm thinking about them.

Karen Curry

2/7/2019 10:44:55 am

For my family, I enjoy texting love notes when I'm on break at work. For others, listening carefully when they talk, paying it forward in the coffee shop, & simple things like holding the door open are some of my favorite things to do.

I just cut 42 valentines out so my daughter could write positive things on each one for 14 days. Feb 1-14 and tape them on their door so they can see them when they wake up. I love doing things for other people. Making homemade cards and different crafts. I never sell my stuff but I do give them as gifts. My family is everything.

A few years ago I found a little red notebook with hearts all over it and everyday I wrote one or two things to my husband that I was grateful and why I loved him. He loved this! Yesars prior I wrote my husband a book of poems about love.

My partner and I have been together a. lot of years and he is always there for me. He has taken care of me before and after back surgery and will be with me if I have to go through another. He's learned to do laundry, including folding and putting away. He cooks, shops, and helps me walk. So any time he wants to talk, have me rub his shoulders and back, or just sit and read or watch TV, I'm there for him. I tell him I love him and thank him for everything he does.

RobynL

for hubby I ask him how his day went and/or make his special cake he loves and that pleases him and seems surprised beyond...
For the cashier at the grocery store I usually say 'have a nice day'.

My 92 year old dad made me feel loved everyday for the past 15 years he lived with me. Everyday he thanked me for any little thing I did. Cook his favorite meals, made special desserts my mom made, washed his clothes, drive him around. He went every where with me (when I wasn’t working that is) He always kissed me and said he loved me. My dad passed away in July. He had a military funeral which he really would have loved. He was proud to be a WWII vet and talked about it often. I miss him. My 3 siblings miss him. His grandkids and great grandkids miss him. He knew how to give love and he received it too!

Donna Andres

It is the little things. Raally listen to them when they talk. That way you can pick up and the little details that you need to remind them that they re important and needed. It is easy to take them for granted. Remember to tell them that.

Kristen Espinoza

2/8/2019 08:25:15 pm

I think something that shows you are listening. Like if someone were to say 'oh that was one of my favorite books as a child', and then you buy that book. I think anytime you show someone you are listening to them or thinking of them it makes them feel loved.

I do the 14 days of Valentines every year for my Fiancé. This year is the 6th year. I pick something he likes and create 14 trivia questions. I leave the question in a card each morning and he leaves his answer. If the answer is correct than he receives a gift related to the topic that night. This year we’re getting married in May so the topic is memories of us. He appreciates the thought and time I put into it.

I think it is the little everyday things you do for someone that shows that you care. Make their favorite food, or desserts. A hug, a smile or a kiss.
