Quality Time

Physical Touch

  • If you like nothing more than a good hug from a loved one or cuddling on the couch with a glass of wine, we suggest taking a salsa dancing class with Nicole La Bailarina.

Words of Affirmation

  • If you are someone that loves verbal or written compliments expressing appreciation, hear poets at the Poetry in the Brew and take notes, or pick out some stationery from The Dotted Line to pen a thoughtful letter.

Receiving Gifts

  • If you think of gifts as symbolic of love and affection, you’re in luck. There’s no shortage when it comes to shopping in Nashville. Pick out something for the artisan lover at Handmade Studio TN, hunt for an antique treasure at Dashwood Vintage, or support your diehard local with Nashville swag from The NASH Collection.

Acts of Service

  • If the way you express your love is by doing helpful things for others (think: cleaning the dishes, opening doors, or running errands), we suggest a volunteering date to satisfy that giving heart. You can check out this NASHtoday list for ways to lend a helping hand with the whole family.
