All you need is a paper, pen and some creative juices. Never written a poem before? Maybe you can give it a try now.
10. Create a music CD
Create a CD filled with love songs and make it better by creating a CD cover with a photo of both of you. Add in a couple of songs that have great titles that you can connect them together to create a short love note.
E.g. Tonight I celebrate my love with you and I want to tell you that you are my one in a million. **Note**Words in italic are song titles.
You will be able to create a short and sweet love note by using around 8 – 10 songs.
11. Sing a love song
Are you a great singer? Now is the time to show your talent! Sing a song live or record it in a CD as a present. You can combine idea number 9 with this to create a “higher value” product. One of my friend actually sang some love songs and recorded it in a CD as a gift for his girlfriend and she love it… until the moment she knew he did this before and gave a CD to his ex girlfriend. Anyway, I believe this is a great idea that you can use too, erm.. once?
