Wrap up a memory

The economy is hoping that you are going out and spending a bunch of money this Christmas, and yes that is the way to break out of a recession. However, a romantic thing to do for your partner is to give them something for Christmas that reminds them of a special time the two of you had together. Maybe it is a picture from you last vacation, or the baby booties of your first born child. Think back through out the year and try to remember anything monumental that happened to the two of you during that last year together. Firsts are always something to remember such as the first marathon you ran, your first house or even the first time you kissed. Now the job is to find something that you can wrap up that will take them back to that time. A picture of the event is a great way, go out a purchase a nice frame and place the picture inside it, the will immediately remember that event. Items from that event are another suggestion, say you had a child together during this year then the little beanie that they but on the baby in the hospital in a frame would be an extra special thing you could hang on your wall. You can pick up brochures from your last vacation destination, or programs from events you attended. If a special song was playing during your memory you could pick up that song for them. The important thing about wrapping up a memory is that it will get your partner thinking about the wonderful times the two of you have together.

Sent your partner a Christmas Card.

I have seen a drastic decline in the number of Christmas Cards that we are receiving. We use to get forty or so cards each and every year but lately we are lucky to get ten and they are only from our closest family and friends. If is kind of a bummer because it was nice to get a card in the mail to break up the monotony of bills. This is your cue to take it upon yourself to set out and make getting the mail a little special for your partner. Send them a sweet little card for Christmas one that expresses how important they are to you. Make it so they can't tell it is from you when they receive it in the mail have someone else address the envelope or print in on the computer. This will make it even more special as they struggle to guess who it could be from. If you really are adventurous then go out and pick out 12 different cards and send her one each day for the twelve days of Christmas. He/She might get a little bored with getting a card everyday from you and it will take a little of they surprise out of it around the third day but once Christmas finally gets her and they have the door frame covered with cards from you, you might just get a big kiss for it under the mistletoe.
