DIY Valentine's Day Gifts


Valentine’s day is coming up and you probably don’t have a clue of what to get your Valentine. Everybody is always on a budget so what better gift to give than a gift that you took time to make to show that you appreciate that person.

Top 5 DIY Gifts

1.     Scrapbook - You can put together a scrapbook of pictures and poems that remind you of that person, who doesn’t like a book filled with memories that you can always keep.
2
  .     Cookies -  Heart shaped cookies are definitely at the top of the list of gifts for me. You can go as far as putting them into a jar and decorating the jar so that it is unique.

3.     Felt Fortune Cookies - all you need is some felt material that you can get at the craft store, hot glue and strips of paper. You cut the felt into little circles, write a note on the strip of paper, tuck the note in the middle of the felt, glue the edges and then fold the felt over so that it looks like a little fortune cookie. You can even get more creative and add little chocolate minis in there. (as seen on Style Caster)

4.     Chocolate Covered Strawberries – I know chocolate covered strawberries are the most expensive at this time of the year. It saves so much money when you do it yourself. The easy way to do this is to go to the supermarket buy microwavable dipping chocolate and strawberries. Microwave the dipping chocolate for 30 seconds, stir, dip the strawberries in it and place them on wax paper. This saves a lot of time and money.

5.     Candy Jar - You can fill up a jam jar with your favorite Valentine’s candy (m&m, kisses, skittles) and you can put a letter in it and decorate the jar.
