Number Five: Poetry!

Something I'll never forget - when I was a kid, my mom would write little poems and put them in my lunchbox. That kind of touch is something your significant other will remember for a long time.

You don't have to be a wonderful poet to do this, but if you're having trouble creating some verse, borrowing some from the masters isn't a bad thing. Go to the library and look for some poems that strike a chord for you. Song lyrics can work well, too. Copy them, go home, and write them on little slips of paper, and stash them places. The toothbrush or bathroom mirror, so they'll see it first thing in the morning. Inside the purse or wallet; they'll find it sooner or later. In the gas cap of the car; they'll see it when they next fill up. In the checkbook, they'll see it next time they write a check. You get the idea.
