Stuff it with a letter

It's an old and wise saying which tells us "the best gift is a gift from the heart". So this year why not give a little something extra of yourself in your spouses Christmas stocking this year. A letter of gratitude and love. Sure the shiny(jewelry) and smelly (cologne) things are nice but you will absolutely blow them away with a simple hand written, (or if your like me and need spell check even typed will do), letter from the heart.

Hopefully their joy in receiving this note will inspire you to do it more often throughout the year.
In a recent post Sheri and Bob Stritof from About.com gave some great tips about how to leave notes for your loved one.


Here are a few suggested topics:
Let them know why your love grew for them more this year.
How their help with a certain challenge was important to you.
List what you are truly thankful to them for.
What your goals are as a spouse this upcoming year.
What are the things they do that make you feel loved.

The best thing about this "stuffer" is it will never loose its shine or fragrance. Your spouse will be able to pull your note out whenever they want to and feel that sense of gratitude and love from you. It also has the possibility of being opened and read many years from now by your grown children, serving as a witness to their parents love for each other. Is there really any better gift than that?
