Scribble a sweet, non-embarrassing line to let your child letting them know how much you care, and bury it somewhere between the PB&J and carrot sticks.
Your honey's coat pocket
Keep romance alive, say you're sorry, or make the one you love laugh out loud. It's all about the little things.
Your bathroom mirror
Write something encouraging to yourself that you can't miss reading every day. Too cheese-ball for you? Scrawl out something for the person you share the bathroom with instead. Dry erase markers work on any mirror so you don't have to limit yourself to the bathroom.
The bottom of a receipt
Your waiter (or waitress) probably doesn't hear all that often how much his work is appreciated. Make his day by telling him why you enjoyed his service so much (we know, this one probably won't happen all that often).
On your checks
Here's a place that already provides the space for a brief note, though people hardly seem use anymore. Try to have some fun with this one! For example, if you write a check to your babysitter, add at the bottom: “For: 5 hours of quiet bliss. Thanks for sitting on my babies.” Anything for a smile, right?
Your visitor's suitcase
So long this doesn't violate anyone's personal space or privacy, find a way to sneak a handwritten thought into your houseguest's luggage before their departure. Tell your guest how much you enjoyed her company or that you can't wait for her next return.
The inside of a book or journal
When you give someone a book or journal, add your personal thoughts on the inside cover. Or, if you are willing to take the time, read through the book and make your own notes throughout the entire thing that speak directly to the recipient. If that's not personal, what is?
Car windows
So long this method of communication is suitable to the receiver of your message, go wild with it. There are special markers to write on cars with. This method of note leaving is colorful, fun, and pretty surprising to a person who's no longer in high school.
In a shoe
The possibility for content is endless. Write whatever to whomever and slip it in a shoe you know they'll wear soon. They're bound to find it.
On a calendar
Insert your own small reminders, expressions or thoughts throughout a calendar or datebook and gift it to someone. They can look forward to your notes all year long.
Behind the service counter
If someone you know is a regular at a specific cafe, bar or restaurant, leave a note with the staff to deliver to this person. Maybe even work it out with the establishment to pay for this person's drink or meal that day.
