There are a number of ways to show somebody that you love them, but it all depends on their relationship to you. It may also depend on how you both show love. It might sound strange, but people tend to show their love in different ways. Some through gifts, some through saying it - they’ve even written books about it. Read ‘The 5 love languages’ if you want to know more! Here are a few different ways you can show somebody you love them:

Tell Them

Maybe you don’t tell somebody that you love them enough. Some people struggle to say it, but it that’s why it can mean so much more if you actually tell them. You don’t need to just say ‘I love you’. There are loads of different, creative things you could say. Just say it in a way that you know will mean a lot to them, and they’ll feel great! 

Do Something for Them

Why not do something thoughtful for them? Even something as simple as taking their clothes to the dry cleaners could be a good idea. Doing something thoughtful can save them time and effort, even if it’s something small. How large you make the gesture is completely up to you. 

Buy Them a Gift

Buying gifts isn’t something you have to do all the time to show somebody you love them. Buying them a gift could be something you do once in a blue moon. However, it’s bound to mean a lot when you actually do! Even if it’s just a book or some pralines you think they’ll like, as long as it’s thoughtful it’s bound to send the message that you want it to send.

Take Them Somewhere

Maybe you could take them out for the day? It could be somewhere they’ve always wanted to go. A town, museum, park - wherever! It doesn’t need to be far. You can make it special just by being thoughtful. You could have a picnic in the park round the corner or take them on a trip across the world. The world is your oyster! 

Make Them Something

Making something yourself will always mean a lot, as you’ve taken the time to put something together from scratch. Making something will always mean more than just going out and buying something, as it will have taken you a lot more time. You could write a poem or a song, paint a picture, make a piece of jewelery...whatever you’re good at. 

Showing somebody you love them can be one of the most meaningful things you’ll do for them. If you don’t feel like you tell them enough or you want them to know what they really mean to you, make sure you use the tips in this guide.
