Home made Valentine’s Day gifts

Valentine’s Day is only couple of days away, it’s time to get crafting away on those gifts for special someones. Home made Valentine’s Day gifts are the best way to express your love and appreciation to your loved ones for the occasion. Home made gifts also hold more sentimental value than the gifts from stores. The most basic craft skills can be put to make the best Valentine Day gift with a little creativity. Here are some ideas.

Delicious Valentine’s Day treats:

Take out your kitchen wares and get going with the making of sweet treats for your loved ones. Treats like brownies, cupcakes, muffins and more can be made. Decorate the treats in a beautiful box garnished with sugar icing and sugar balls. Hand delivering the treat to your partner will be more thoughtful.

Photographic scrapbook:

Commemorate your bond with your loved one by making a photographic scrapbook with attractive covers. Collect your favorite photographs and mementos like wedding card, first letter, etc. for the scrapbook. Include love quotes, poetry or your favorite captions.

Romantic ideas:

At times romantic gestures and ideas are more valued than materialistic gifts. Make the occasion special by writing down a letter or your experiences with your partner and what you like the most about him/her. Other ideas like making home made coupons for either a romantic dinner, activities for a day or division of a day’s chores can be done. Apart from this you can also give gift coupons or wellness packages.

Gifts:

Pamper your partner with gift baskets filled with chocolates and beauty products. If your partner is fond of beauty products, you can gift him/her soaps, scrubs and face masks to look gorgeous for the occasions. Try gifting them eco-friendly beauty products which do not have harsh chemicals. You can also make home made candles with essential oils to create a romantic mood with their aroma.

Love cards:

Romantic and musical cards are best for every occasion. Make your own greeting card by showing your creative side. The card can be made using stock paper, drawings, photos, crepe paper, cardboard, beads or any other desired embellishments. You can also make your own art card with a personal message on it.

Home made bouquet:

Although flowers are most commonly used, a home made bouquet would add charm to the occasion. You can make a bouquet from your garden flowers or get a dozen of your partner’s favorite flowers. A cane basket, a set of satin ribbons and colorful papers will complete the lovely bouquet. Perhaps a personal message can be added to it.

Poem/song:

The most memorable gift for your valentine would be to write a poem or a song for them.

Heart shaped crafts:

If you are creative enough you can think of various heart shaped crafts from heart shaped soaps to cards, heart felt decorative papers, envelope cards, candy box etc.

Valentine Day garland:

Make your own Valentine’s Day garland of your desired shape. They can either be made from felt paper of colorful cardboard paper. The garland can be hung on the walls or entrances.

Home made jewel box:

Although as a man you might not have enough patience, but making a jewel box would really make your lady love happy. Make your own jewel box using an empty cardboard box packed with glitter paper and embellishments like beads, mirrors, flowers etc.

Photo wall:

Make the occasion the most memorable one by creating your own photo wall. Choose an appropriate spot as a focal point and make a heart shaped photo wall with pictures of you and your partner.

Personalized chocolates:

Try your hand at cooking and make personalized chocolates for your loved one. Know your partner’s choice for chocolates and write a personalized message on them. Making a personalized cake/pie with a love message on it is a good idea.
