Make more mixtapes { yes, still! }
Sure, mixtapes may have been a huge hit amongst teens in the ’80s, but the mix — not necessarily in tape form — is an excellent way to show someone how you feel about them. These days a CD or a playlist is probably more relevant. Either way, it’s the thought that counts! To some this may seem cliche, but you don’t have to make a big deal about it. I make mixes all the time for us to listen to in the car or while we’re bumming around the house. Making an effort to scout out potential new favourite songs for the one you love is a sweet and thoughtful way to show them 1. that you know them + pay attention to their tastes, and 2. that you care.
I made a Valentine’s Day playlist packed with sweet + romantic songs. I can’t wait to listen to it with my Mr. on Tuesday! The best part about having a distinct song or playlist that you hear often during a certain period of time is that you start to associate the two. Wouldn’t it be lovely if your honey popped in the mix you made them later on in the year and happily reflected upon the time you’d spent together this February? Choose songs that remind you of them and plenty of new gems you know they’ll like! Happy mix making!
Check back for two more ways!
