The next big day on the
calendar is the much talked about Valentine’s Day that has turned into a day of
celebration not just for couples in love, but for families too. It can indeed
be a great way of expressing love, and nothing says it better than a handmade
gift for the occasion. Here are some ideas:
Cards: These
may now be considered a bit old school, but the charm of a handwritten and
handcrafted card cannot be matched by most other gifts. All it needs are simple
ingredients like chart paper, colouring agents like paints or crayons, and
something interesting like dried flowers or quilled papers for a unique
addition.
Special Meal: Look up a few new recipes and surprise your partner or family with
a home-prepared meal. The availability of exotic ingredients and the wealth of
information online, make it a much easier task than it used to be even a few
years back. Even an amateur cook can come up with a well thought out and lovely
meal.
Cookies: Whether it be the predictable but always favourite heart shaped
ones or something a bit more unusual, something for the sweet tooth is always a
good idea for Valentine’s Day. You don’t need to be a seasoned baker for
cookies, and you will easily find approachable recipes online such as these.

Keepsakes: You could choose to print or stitch a pattern on a t-shirt for the
entire family or make a heart-shaped piece of furniture especially for the
occasion, and whichever the gift, it is sure to bring back memories of the day
for your loved ones. You can consider this as a great chance to start using
that home utility kit and make a beginning to that tough DIY project you always
thought about.
Kids’ special: A great way to introduce the significance of
Valentine’s Day to your kids is to involve them in a project to make gifts for
the family. Putting the finished product into a frame will also give you
something to cherish for many years.
