Kidney Love Illustration

“Love recognizes no barriers.”  Maya Angelou​

When it comes to expressing your love for someone you don’t always need to spend a lot of money or plan something extravagant, love can be shown through a simple action or just your words alone. 

Try some of these ideas that are full of thought and love! 

Cook:

Maybe you and your special person like to stay home or are staying on a budget, that’s ok! A cookbook is a great gift because you have delicious recipes that you can spend time making together and then enjoying! Maybe make a plan once a month to get together or have a stay in date night that includes cooking a recipe from the cookbook! 

  • Tip: Look for kidney friendly cookbooks! There are a ton out there. If you don’t have time to shop take a look at The KidneyRD, they have tons of great recipes. 

Spend time together: 

  • If they have dialysis on Valentines Day see if you can join them for an hour or two and bring a movie to watch so they aren’t alone. Some dialysis centers don’t allow visitors so you should check to make sure. 
  • The classic dinner and a movie is always nice! Have fun and let one person decide the movie and the other where you are going out to eat!

Get Creative: 

  • Paint at home. Painting can be very therapeutic and fun! Challenge each other to paint an object or even a portrait of each other. Some dollar stores have canvas for $1.00 and paint supplies as well! 
  • Make a list of things you two want to do together and put them in a jar, when you’re bored take one out and now you have an activity for the day. 
  • Write a poem or a lovely card that expresses your true feelings. This is something they can treasure always and read when they need a reminder that someone loves them.
  • Print out pictures from your favorite times together and make a photo album so you can look back on great memories!
