Just wondering what little ways you guys have to show your partner you love them?

I leave my boyfriend notes around the house to tell him and have in the past popped little surprises in his bag if he's going away (he works away a fair bit) for him to find when he gets there :)

    I occasionally (quite random and not too frequently) place a little paper love heart with a little love you note into her lunchbox, usually with some chocolate hidden under the napkin.

    Its nothing much, but enough to give her a little smile whilst at work.

    occasional "I love you" texts or bring home a bunch of flowers for no reason. Cleaning the bathroom. Taking the bin out. Doing the dishes.

    I do a special KonMari (see the thread on Old Style) fold on DH's undies. The other day I was very narked with him and just shoved them in his drawer clean but flat, spitefully telling him I couldn't be bothered to fold them.

    He went off to work looking very sad and dejected and sounded very down when I spoke to him at lunchtime.

    Marital harmony was restored later when his little face lit up at the sight of his pants drawer after I had a change of heart and folded them all pointy-upwards :rotfl::rotfl:

    He's very easy to please :)

    I use my sprogledite to pass on whispered messages. The cuteness factor in which he delivers my sweet nothings never fails :D

    Last year, whilst power washing the front path, the OH left me a romantic message.

    I let DH have the extra bit of scampi :p For some reason they always put 13 pieces in.
