Valentine's Day is just a week away, so if you don't have a gift yet, it's time to start planning. But what if you want to save some money, and/or give a gift from the heart? Consider making a gift for your loved one(s).
1. A bouquet of flowers, especially red roses, is a traditional Valentine's Day gift. But what if you made the flowers out of tissue paper and pipe cleaners? Not only are they just as pretty, but they last longer. You can also use recycled materials, like post it notes or newspaper. You can even get creative with a vase, such as a decoupaged bottle or jar. You could also decorate it with washi tape, stickers or 3-D embellishments.
2. A handmade card is also a classic option. You can get crafty with the decorations, and include a heartfelt message on the inside or even a poem! Hearts are a popular choice, especially if you made them 3-D. Flowers, cupids, or just something you love like animals.
3. Baked goods and other edible options are usually a hit. Just make sure you take your loved one's diet into account. Cookies, brownies and candies are usually winners. But what a heart shaped pizza or a bouquet of jerky? You could even diy your own Edible Arrangement with their favorite fruits.
4. What better way to express your feelings than writing them a love song and recording it? If you have a shared "song," you could record yourself singing it. If you are not musically inclined, you could create the perfect playlist for them, just like they used to do with mixed tapes.
