I hope you guys liked my Valentine’s Day look ideas! Also on the topic of Valentine’s Day, I thought it would be super cute to take on a few gift ideas that you can get for your significant other or even your best friend. Valentine’s Day may seem like a whole “couples” thing, but it is important to remember showing love is just as important to your family and friends, in addition to your boyfriend or girlfriend. A little throwback to elementary school, when I loved writing Valentine’s Day card to the whole class! We would then spend time passing them around and putting it in everyone’s box! Today’s blog post will include a few super cute handmade trinkets, plus a few other great gifts!
If you like to be crafty or even showing a bit more thought than a store-bought gift, check these out –

One of the biggest problem my boyfriend and I go through is finding places to go for dates! This simple yet very useful homemade gift is definitely something he will love if you are like me! A 12 month of date nights booklet will get you creative with super fun dates during the year! Something like: May – how about a game of single tennis? Followed by brunch at White Wolf. Of course, we will ride our bikes! Such an easy, fun and filled with meaning kind of gift!
