• Deck of cards. Write reasons on blank index cards and tie them with ribbon. Fifty-two reasons for fifty-two cards is a classic.
• One reason a day. Text a new reason every morning for a month. Pair it with one of our cute paragraphs for her to wake up to.
• A handwritten letter. Weave your ten favorite reasons into a love letter. Our I love you letters can help you start.
• Hidden notes. Tuck reasons into coat pockets, lunch boxes, books and suitcases for them to discover.
• Anniversary scrapbook. Pair each reason with a photo from your time together.
