Want to write a reasons why I love you list for your significant other? It’s easier than you think. I am here to help!
For many of us, it’s difficult to put our love into words. It’s a challenge to say, “Here are all the reasons why I love you.”
I decided I’d sit down and think about it for myself. I spent some time thinking of my darling Nathan and listing all of the reasons why I love him (plus a few extras thrown in for good measure).
While I’m writing these with my husband Nathan in mind, my goal is that you can use as many of these reasons why I love you ideas or I love you because ideas as you need. Giving a list like this to your partner would be an incredible gift. Or, you can just pick a few reasons off the list that apply to them and tell them in person. I guarantee that they will appreciate what you have to say in a very deep way.
Feel free to borrow as many of these as you’d like!

Reasons Why I Love You Gifts and Crafts
Before we get into the actual list of reasons to love someone, let’s talk about what creative, sweet projects you might make with these loving words. One glance at Pinterest will show you there are lots of options floating around.
52 Reasons Why I Love you Cards
The 52 reasons why I love you list is perfect for turning a deck of cards into a memorable gift. I actually did this for Nathan for one of our first Valentine’s days together. I punched holes along the left edge of all 52 cards in a standard deck. Then I typed out the 52 reasons why I love him and even included some fun pictures that I printed, magazine cut-outs, and other add-ons. Use two packs of cards if you want to expand and make a 100+ reasons why I love you gift.
This was a wonderful project that I had a blast making. I didn’t just use sappy, romantic love quotes; I got creative and used references from our life: silly pop culture things that we both liked, inside jokes we shared. PS: don’t be afraid to include funny reasons why I love you on this list for your person. For my card craft, I included photos of Ron Swanson and Lil’ Sebastian from Parks and Recreation, just to give you an idea of the silliness involved.
365 Reasons Why I Love You Jar
Another super cute craft idea is a 365 reasons why I love you jar. For this DIY romantic gift, you spend some time writing down 365 things you love about your partner on individual slips of paper and placing them in a jar. You can decorate the jar or leave it plain, it’s up to you. Your sweetheart can take out one piece of paper each day for an entire year and be reminded of the reasons you love them. This is such a thoughtful gift idea, and I know if Nathan made me one my heart would literally melt.

The ideas for a reasons I love you gift are truly endless. And if you’re not great with creating things by hand—honestly, my card-making project was really a one-time deal, I’m much better at using computers—well, you can definitely make something digitally, for instance, having a book or a photo album printed with the what I love about you items included as captions. We recommend Artifact Uprising for beautiful printed products. (More ideas for romantic captions here).
