With Valentine's Day just around corner, it's time to start thinking about perfect gift for one you love. Whether you are looking for something special on a tight budget or would simply like to add something special to another gift, there's no better way to express your love than by saying it in a variety of languages.

Find a nice jar and cut different colored paper into heart-shaped pieces. Write "I Love You" in a different language on each heart and place it in jar. Continue doing this until jar is full. Add a nice ribbon around jar and you have a wonderful jar of "Love" to give.

If you want Valentine's Day to last longer, write each "I Love You" in a different language on a colored, heart-shaped piece of paper. Then place each heart into a separate envelope. For next two months, each day you can place a new envelope somewhere where your partner will find it making your love - and Valentine's Day - last a couple of months rather that a single day.

If you are in a more playful mood, cut out heart-shaped pieces of paper and write "I Love You" in a different language along with a hint where your partner can find next envelope. Have your partner do a scavenger hunt to find each envelope until they come to final piece where "I Love You" is written in English with whatever Valentine gift you have decided to give.

No matter how you ultimately decide to give gift of "I Love You," it'll be a gift long remembered and cherished by person who receives it.
