Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and couples are hurriedly trying to find the perfect gift for their partner. Not all Valentine’s Day gifts have to be expensive and ludicrously romantic. The present doesn’t have to be big and expensive, it’s equally as special if it’s something little and thoughtful. Consider the idea of a DIY (do it yourself) gift since it is oriented towards the person you’re giving it to. The receiver is bound to feel special when gifted a handmade present because the person who handmade it was probably thinking about them while creating it. So here are five DIY gift ideas that will leave your significant other smiling all day long.
1. Jar of notes: Fill up a jar with little notes with reasons you love your partner or memories you have together. They can open one everyday or every Monday morning to start off their week with a smile. This is simple to make and it is very heartwarming; your other half will definitely feel loved while reading the papers.
2. Customized frame: Make a collage or choose your favorite photo with your significant other. Then frame it and decorate the borders to your liking. Don’t be afraid to showcase your creativity!
3. Customized box: This idea is similar to the previous one; however, instead of framing your photo, put it on the lid of a box and decorate the box. This gift is perfect for storing memories. You can keep love letters, movie tickets, photos, etc.
4. Personalized matching mugs: If both of you enjoy drinking coffee or tea, you can personalize a plain mug, and how cute would it be if you had a matching mug as well. Just get a sharpie and decorate the mug however you want (quotes, drawings, messages, etc.) and then bake your cup in the oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees to prevent the sharpie from smudging.
5. Make a playlist: This gift is a bit on the old-fashioned side, but the idea is still sweet. In the old days you would probably mix a CD, but now you have a choice to make a playlist on iTunes and share it with your partner. Put songs that are meaningful such as “your song”, the songs that remind you of him/her, the song that you danced to, etc.
Remember, it’s the thought that counts. So whatever the result might be your significant other, other half, darling, or sweetie will feel loved and will be on cloud nine throughout the whole day.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
