Here are some more amazing Valentine’s Day DIY gift ideas for inspiration…
Memories Card
Create a card that has one envelope for every year you have been together attached to it. You can then fill these little envelopes with things like your favourite memory from that year together as a couple, or a small picture – taken the year that envelope represents. If you keep the card, you can add to it each year to create a wonderful collection of all your memories together!

Breakfast in bed with a twist!
Treat your loved one to breakfast in bed – but with a personalized, romantic twist! Pancakes, fried eggs, waffles – there are many ways to shape food into hearts these days – or, for a quicker, easier solution, use a rubber stamp such as this one to press a word or picture into pancakes or toast after cooking.

Love Poems
Why not write your sweetheart a love letter or jot down your favourite poem about love, and then seal it in an envelope using a Tudor-inspired wax seal? The beautiful presentation and lovely sentiment enclosed is sure to warm your lover’s heart.

Lavender Heart
Create a little handmade heart out of material and thread you might have leftover in the house. Fill the heart before sealing it with something that smells lovely – like lavender or cotton wool sprayed with your favourite perfume – so when your loved one hangs up the heart it will always remind them of you!

Date Night Jar
Take an empty jar and decorate it with whatever you have to hand. Then label it ‘Our Date Jar’ and fill it with ideas for wonderful evenings together. Picnics in the park, road trips to the coast, pizza making home or just a night together in front of your favourite movies – you can be as inventive as you like! You then both have a wonderful keepsake to refer back to throughout the year whenever you want to do something fun and different together.
