Here’s the easy part: make a list of your Top Ten favorite things about her. Write each one separately – on 10 Valentine’s Day cards or notecards, even 10 Post-Its will do in a pinch. Hide them around the house, but first attach a small Valentine’s Day gift to each – a coffee gift card, that best-selling book she’s been wanting to read, a bar of French milled soap, etc. You can include scavenger hunt-type clues on the notes, or let her track them down one by one on her own. When she’s found everything, give her a fancy porcelain or nicely decorated box to keep them in as a reminder of how much you care.

A white rose mixed in with red ones symbolizes deep and pure love. Lilac or purple roses can represent longing. (Warning: if it’s romance you’re after, stay away from yellow roses, which signal platonic friendship.
