Creative Valentine's Day Gifts
Easy, Inexpensive Ways to Say I Love You!
Simple ideas for Valentine's Day gifts from the heart that are easy to create, but hard to forget.
Tired of the same old, same old heart boxes of candy and stuffed animals? Try something new this year and surprise your loved one with a unique and thoughtful gift!
Coupon Books
Easy to create, but thoughtful enough to be remembered forever. Simply create your own Valentine’s Day coupon book from a computer program or with old-fashioned construction paper, stickers, and markers. You can even go online; Lovingyou lets you download clip art for your coupon book, and also has a great list of coupon items to include, like ‘One evening treated like royalty’, ‘Your choice of one household chore completed’, ‘One revealing fact: My deepest desire’, ‘One shopping spree’, or ‘One picnic in the park.’ Coupon books can be created for kids (‘One day off from being grounded’?!), spouses (‘One morning sleeping in’) or romantic interests (‘One picture of me in the outfit and pose of your choice!’)
The Gift of Cozy
Everyone loves to drink coffee in their pajamas while wearing comfy slippers. Why not make a Valentine’s Day gift for your sweetie out of the idea? Pajamagram offers cozy pajamas for men, women and children, and they even arrive gorgeously-presented, in a hatbox with a sachet or other creative packaging depending on the recipient. What a thoughtful, cozy gift! (Tip: check their clearance page for some outstanding pajama prices...slippers too!)
Time: The Best Gift
Whether it’s a trip to the zoo for a child, a romantic date on a dinner cruise, a fun day at the bowling alley, or a double feature at the movies, your sweethearts will love the gift of a chance to spend time with you. Be creative in your presentation - a popcorn box including the movie tickets, and two big boxes of movie candy will bring a smile to your loved one’s face on Valentine’s Day!
Creating Memories
No one has time anymore to create handmade photo albums, and most people go around feeling guilty about it. Why not visit Kodak Gallery or Shutterfly and make a photo book for your loved one? Both sites offer easy layouts at very reasonable prices - you could create a “Love” themed book with special photos that will make a creative and memorable gift for your Valentine. Other inexpensive gift items like photo t-shirts, mouse pads and mugs are also available.
So skip the chocolates this year- everyone’s still trying to lose weight from Christmas, so why not choose something fat free?! Choose something from the heart that’s easy to create, but hard to forget.
Have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
