A DIY photo frame
Whether you’re dating or married, your partner is sure to love a personal photo frame filled with photos of you two together. The framing and matting can be purchased at any craft store or online.
You can even use an old photo frame that has sentimental value to both of you as long as it doesn’t have hinges on it. This easy DIY valentine gift is easy and inexpensive to make. All you need are photos and pretty frames.
Simply fill them up with photos and then put them on display around your home! Your partner will love it. The sentimental value and memories you have together are just as valuable as any piece of jewelry.
Gift set from Bath & Body Works: OK, so not everyone likes Bath & Body Works, but there’s a reason that gift sets are so popular: They always make a great present. The best part about these easy DIY valentine’s gifts is that they’re super-affordable since you can often find gift sets for under $20.
The secret to giving an impressive gift set is by choosing scents that your recipient loves (and isn’t over). Start at their favorite store, look online or even ask someone they know if they have a favorite scent of theirs. Who knows?
Valentine’s Day Wishes For The One You Love
The best gifts for your significant other on Valentine’s Day are often made by hand. The five DIY valentine gifts in today’s post are all easy to make but have a big impact on a special someone.
Each project takes about an hour or less and yields one big wow effect when it comes time to say I love you on February 14th. Here’s what you’ll need: (Items with an asterisk (*) can be purchased at any craft store.)
First, grab a pair of his/her pants and get ready to stitch! Use embroidery floss to recreate an image or a saying you love onto a patch. It doesn’t have to be perfect; in fact, imperfections are part of what makes it special.
As you sew on your patch, feel free to leave extra space so you can fill it in with more stitches later. It’s hard to find fabric glue that will stick paper so we’re going old school here! Cut out heart-shaped pieces of patterned paper and glue them together with regular school glue.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Chocolate-covered strawberries are a classic Valentine’s Day gift that never goes out of style. Making them yourself is simple and will show your love just how much you care.
Simply take some premium chocolate, melt it down with a dab of coconut oil, then dip in fresh strawberries (you can also do cherries, raspberries, or other fruits) and place on wax paper to set. Be sure to write I love you on each strawberry as a finishing touch.
If you want an extra-special treat, try adding pecans or sea salt flakes for added crunch! Want to make it even easier? Try out some pre-made chocolate cups and simply place your freshly dipped fruit inside.
Heart-Shaped Cookies: Who doesn’t love heart-shaped cookies? These are as simple as they come and a great way to show your loved one that you care. Bake up some delicious sugar cookies (and add lots of frosting!) then cut out into a shape using cookie cutters.
You can also go with chocolate chip or mint oreo cookies if they’re your special someone’s favorite flavor! There are plenty of shapes to choose from—the heart is just a suggestion.
DIY Heart Cake
I wanted to do something cute for my husband, but I didn’t have a lot of time. It’s amazing what you can create when you spend a little extra time on Google and Pinterest.
Anyway, let me share with you my idea for an easy DIY valentine’s gift: Heart Cake. If in case you don’t want to make your own cake or buy one and decorate it yourself, there are plenty of ways to surprise your Valentine without having to bake anything.
If you are buying a cake, I recommend you pick a simple but tasty one so that it goes with your DIY ideas. If you know your lover has a sweet tooth or enjoys chocolate cakes, these might be good choices.
Don’t forget to get candles too! You can pick them up at almost any grocery store. I went for fun and picked up some red M&M candles that looked great! With all of these ingredients ready to go, it was time to get started on my cute heart cake idea.
I used a heart-shaped cake pan but if you don’t have one or can’t find one, any shape will do. If you are buying a cake from your local grocery store and you have time, leave it in its pan and wrap it well with plastic wrap.
Otherwise, remove it from its pan, cover it in plastic wrap, and place it back in its original box for safekeeping. If using cupcakes to make your heart cake instead of baking an entire cake, remember that 3 is usually a good number of cupcakes to use so that they can stack nicely on top of each other to create a lovely-looking heart shape.
Free Printable Valentine Cards
Looking for a great Valentine’s Day gift? Try making your own valentine’s card! It’s free, it doesn’t cost much, and it takes just a few minutes. If you have access to all of these materials, you can print out an adorable, hand-crafted card at home! Here are a few ideas to get started:
- Draw some hearts on paper plates that spell out I love you or Be mine. Then cut them into heart shapes, place tape on their backs, write your special someone’s name on them, and then hang them up somewhere in your house!
On February 14th when they see their name hanging from your kitchen cabinet or light switch they will be excited to know how much they mean to you—and how hard you worked on DIYing a present! This is a great idea if you’re feeling creative but do not feel like spending too much money.
- If the paper isn’t your thing then try some yarn crafts instead. Tie a bunch of red and pink yarn together, tie it around a box of chocolates, or even decorate with pompoms! You can also use ribbon, lace, or any kind of material to create valentine’s cards.
They’re not going to get you as many brownie points for being handmade but they’re an easy option if you don’t have time to make anything else (or even if you do). Another great idea for easy DIY valentine’s gifts is chocolate-covered strawberries!
