Gifts for Valentine’s Day | Homemade

I prefer homemade gifts for Valentine’s Day or homemade gifts mixed with some store bought items, such as hampers or gift baskets. Here are a few ideas for your Valentine (or Galentine). 😊

Hampers and gift baskets

The hamper above was made for Valentine’s Day 2012 and it mostly consisted of novelty items, some chocolates and small items of clothing (socks, boxer shorts etc). As well as a “date night jar” (inspired by: Life in the greenhouse.com) and some love coupons.

Date Night Jar

Date Night Jar

For the date night jar I used coloured card to write down date ideas and coloured coded them based on the type of activity and cost, i.e. “free indoors”, “free outdoors”, “inexpensive” and “expensive and/or requires planning”. I also thought of adding to the jar and doing some seasonal ones.

Love Coupons

Love Coupons

The love coupons pictured are the ones I made in 2010 but I also made these in a different style in 2012. The coupons contained date nights, massages, pampering etc.

Paper Gifts

For the first year anniversary of my ex partner and I we both decided to make each other a paper themed gift. I created a “365 reasons why I love you” binder, the idea was one reason for each day we’d been together (this was in 2012).

He really liked it and found it very thoughtful. It was very simple to put together; you could also put the reasons in a jar (inspired by: Cutout and Keep ).

Home Cooked Meals

I think home cooked meals or baked treats are a great idea. Who doesn’t love dinner cooked for them after a long day at work?
