Make a photo album of your cherished memories and gift it to your partner. Adorn it with poetic quotations and decorate it.
If your partner is a radio listener and also likes PDA (public display of affection), sing her a song over the radio. Plan it out with a friend to ensure that she doesn't miss it. Ask her friend to catch the blush on her face.
Letters Touch the Heart
Letters are the best way to convey your feelings to the other person. You need not be a magician in using words as all you need to put down on the paper is what you feel about the person. Your partner is not going to look at your words but the depth and love in your thoughts.
