Do Valentines Day your way this year with these homemade gifts
Instead of buying your loved one something this year, why not make them something homemade to make the day even more special?
POLOKWNE – It’s time of the year again when love is in the air and to keep the love going, perhaps do something new and make the day special in your own way.
Here are a few DIY ideas for him and her:
DIY gifts for her:
1. Lovers lane – Put candles and hearts along the driveway to tip her off to the romantic evening ahead or use them to lead her to your favorite park or other favorite place. It’s the sort of pre-planned and elaborate romantic you see in the movies.
2. Fortune Cookie Love – These fortune cookies are very decorative, and the great part is you get to fill them with your own message. These can be as cute or kinky as you want, so use what you know about her to pick the right mix of messages so that it’s a Valentine’s Day she won’t forget.
3. Date Night Jar – Give her a jar of date night ideas and she will be on cloud nine. You’ll never run out of ideas to go to out on a date and it shows her that you really look forward to the times you can spend with her when it’s just the two of you.
DIY gifts for him:
1. Jar of why you love him – Decorate a small glass jar with ribbons, felt hearts, and other decorative items inside the jar. Each of the pieces of folded paper is going to bring a smile to your special one’s face as it explains a reason why you are in love with him.
3. If you’re struggling to think of the perfect gift for your loved one, how about several throughout the day? In fact, you can present envelopes to your partner every 14 hours with handmade envelopes. Create your own labels to attach to each envelope and organize the gifts throughout the day. Place a lovely card for each of the hour or simply house small gifts in the envelopes, for example small gift cards to his favorite restaurants, book store or a cafe; some romantic love notes; photographs the two of you together; or even little candies.
