There have been songs, sonnets, books, cartoons and Post-It notes all written about love. However, even though those three little words seem so easy to everyone else, they’re sometimes the hardest to say aloud. Interestingly enough, research shows that men take an average of 88 days to tell a partner they love them, while women average 134.

If verbal affirmations of your feelings aren’t really your style, these eight products can help you show your feelings through a simple gift or gesture. Whether you hang meaningful prints in your apartment while your partner’s gone or fill in a note card with a thoughtful note, you can find a way to say I love you, without letting your tongue get in the way.
