Valentine's Day DIY Gifts
Valentine’s Day is an excellent way to bring a smile to your loved one’s face and show them how much they mean to you.
From experience, simple gifts go a long way and can brighten someone's day. If you are a last-minute gift giver or are looking for a do-it-yourself gift for your Valentine (or Galentine), I’ve got the best ideas for you! These ideas are simple, easy, and affordable, and will surely make that special someone feel loved this Valentine's Day.
“You make my heart pop!”
This option is super quick and affordable. All you will need is a bag of popcorn, a note card, and tape or a ribbon to attach the Valentine card. Pro-tip: pop the popcorn together and enjoy a movie night!
Mason Jar Valentine
Grab a mason jar and some candy and create multiple different punny gifts! For chocolate lovers, use Hershey kisses and label your valentine's card “Kisses from me to you!” If your valentine is a fan of sweet and sour candy, you can opt to use gummy bears, saying “Life without you is unbearable!” Another sweet option is to use Starburst, and message the card with “You make my heart burst!”
“I love you a latte!”
For this idea, you can personally order them a coffee, or you could purchase them a gift card that they can use whenever they need a pick-me-up. Personally, coffee is the way to my heart!
“You are a cut above the rest!”
Purchase heart-shaped cookie cutters for your valentine and attach a card that says, “You are a cut above the rest!” You can DIY the card, or a printable version can be found HERE. This option is a great practical gift idea, and it is something that can be enjoyed for years to come. You can put the cookie cutters to good use and have a night of baking together!
Valentine’s Day can be celebrated in many different ways, but these are a few of my simple tips and tricks to spread love.
Happy Valentine’s Day, and
Be Well, Auburn.
