Some of these are for your significant other, most of these you can do for any woman in your life.

• Clean the house, use the supplies in the home. Costs you nothing, but your time. Wash the dishes, take out the trash. Light a nice smelling candle (safely).
• Do a load of laundry, change the sheets and remake the bed.
• Mow the yard, blow the leaves if you have the supplies to do so.
• Wash the car, grab a vacuum and wipe down the inside surfaces.
• If you have an apple or orange and some cinnamon and spices, set it on simmer on the stove with some water. Make the house smell great.
• Massage her back or wash and rub her feet.
• Write a thoughtful and appreciative letter. Think love and words of affirmation. This is a crucial step, take your time.
• Make a meal with food already on hand in the house, be creative.
• Walk around and pick wild flowers.
• Make her a cup of coffee just the way she likes it. Think milk or creamer, whipped cream, chocolate or caramel sauce to drizzle, sprinkles or cinnamon on top.
• Have lemons and sugar, make her a fresh glass of lemonade.
• Walk around the house, find something that needs done, and do it! Especially if it’s something she’s mentioned she wants done.
• See if you have the ingredients to bake cookies or some other kind of baked good. Don’t forget to clean up after yourself!
• Set a warm bath, add some bubbles if you have some. Add a candle, a wild bouquet of flowers. Set out a fresh towel and clean pair of pajamas and slippers. Throw the towel to warm in the dryer if it’s cold. Play some relaxing music if she likes that.
• Go to the library and find her a good selection of nice, romantic or mystery books to read while taking her bath… or whatever she likes to read.
• Then take the kids and dog on a walk to the park, give her some peace and quite, and maybe a nice glass with her favorite beverage.
• Take over bed time with the kids. Come to bed, watch the movie of her choosing, and rub her back til she falls asleep.
• If you have the energy, get up and quickly pick up anything around the house that might have gotten messy again, not too long. Maybe a quick 10-20 minute pick up before going to bed.
• A booklet of coupons of some of the above items, that she can redeem again throughout the year.

Wow, what amazing idea’s. I relaxed some just reading the list. Great job!

There’s no reason why some of these things can’t be done more often.

Every year I asked my kids and husband to donate their time that day to do things I needed/wanted done as we all know it’s easier to give a$ gift than your time.

I am with you! I don’t want any material gifts. They become a baggage with years and something that it is disposed. There are so many holidays in a year and if you gift something for every holiday, it is a lot of stuff that you don’t need in 25 years!
