Major husband points there.
Today, I found this on my doorstep (unopened, of course):
Major mom points there.
Since college, I've been guaranteed mail from my mother at least one day a year, and that's Valentine's Day. She sends me a care package full of silly dollar store goodies, and this one did not disappoint--complete with Valentine's Day cups, socks, napkins, hot chocolate, candy galore, a little mini-rose growing pot, some of my favorite hand lotion (Gold Bond Ultimate Healing, anyone?) and even this little surprise:
I mean, it's not Valentine's Day without a pair of 21X9-inch inflatable lips! Can't wait to hang those from the chandelier.
Seriously, though, I feel most loved when there's thought behind how someone shows it. Flowers are great, but what I really appreciate is the fact that Phil took time this past week to order them and have them ready for me when I walked in the door. Even something as goofy as inflatable lips make me feel loved because my mom took part of her day to go to the store, fill a box with goodies, and make the trip to the post office. These things take time, and when someone takes time on my behalf, spending any part of their life considering me, I feel humbled and loved.
What makes you feel most loved? What's the most thoughtful thing someone has done for you...or that you've done for someone else?

In college Daniel had a roommate leave me flowers with a pink Nalgene bottle as the vase. Will always remember that one. He also wrote me a poem once, and "revised" an already existing poem another time. Anything that takes a lot of brain power like that is memorable. The things more simple than jewelry, etc. stand out the most.
This year he already surprised me with pink polka dot rainboots from Target to stomp around the mud with Aaron.
i love it! i can't wait to see you for a second today :)
