10 Easy DIY Valentine’s Day Gifts

I can’t believe that St. Valentines Day is already here! The time is flying by faster than I can even imagine. This is one of my favorite times of the year. The snow is starting to melt away (usually) and spring is just around the corner. With the sun shining, and happiness all around this is the perfect time to tell a special person just how much you love them.

Whether you are giving someone something big or just something to show your love and appreciation, now is the time to open your hart and just do something the ones you love.

I have found 10 different DIY gifts that you could give to anyone and everyone on your list of love ones.

These are such a cute way to upcycling paint swatches and a cute card for Valentines Day.

This is a cute idea for a spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend. Take a Mason jar and fill it with colored wooden sticks with different date night ideas. I am totally going to do this for Brandon.

These heart shaped muffins are such a fun way to get kids involved in helping out with Valentines Day gifts. Also it is way easier than you would think.

This muffin is also a great home made gift with a touch of red for a fun Valentines Day gift.

I love this idea for all of the tea drinkers, putting tea in a bag for you SweeTea!

I know that Brandon would personally love this idea! What guy wouldn’t like a bear bouquet?

A spoon full of kisses is great for everyone!

This is the perfect valentines day bouquet of suckers.

Totally corny but so cute!

This is a great for your outdoorsy friends, you are quite the catch, Swedish fish in a mason jar.

So there you have it. Those are my fast and easy Valentine gift ideas. With Valentines day less than a week away, all of these gifts are achievable between now and then.

Do you have any cute Valentine ideas that you would like to share? I am always looking for new and fun things to do.

Thank you for reading and following along.

Writing My Christmas Cards

I can’t believe that Christmas is just around the corner. I feel like thanksgiving was yesterday and Halloween was the day before that. I don’t know where the time is going. It is crazy!

I am not not sure if I told you but I had my wisdom teeth out 2 weeks ago and I had to stay in bed for a few day. I am so glad I utilized my time as well as I did. Otherwise I would not have had time to write all of my Christmas cards this year.

There is something so special about walking out to the mail box around Christmas time. Just the thought of opening it up and finding Christmas cards with your name on it. I don’t know what it is, maybe it is the child in me coming out but I absolutely love it. I don’t know if everyone feels the same way that I do but when I write a card I hope it brings back a piece of their childhood or at least a good Christmas memory.

I love sitting down with a BIG cup or tea while I write my cards.

Writing my Christmas Cards

You can’t forget the Christmas music in the back ground. It really gets you in the Christmas Spirit!

This year I also included a cookie recipe that I thought everyone would enjoy!

Do you still write Christmas cards? Are you like me and love the thought of getting some in the mail?

Wrapping Your Christmas Gifts!

I love the idea of the entire Christmas season, there is so much joy in the air. I love the smell of all of the freshly baked cookies, the sound of the Christmas music in the background and the beautifully wrapped gifts under the tree. Gifts are a great way to show someone just how much you care about them. What I love about wrapping a gift is the excitement on the persons face who you give it to. When a gift is wrapped nicely it almost makes the gift a little bit more than what is inside. I can’t tell you how many times people have complimented me about the wrapping on my gifts I give. Not only that, now people have been asking me to wrap their gifts for them.

Here is a video showing you just how I wrap a a Basic Box.
