Surprise your flame with a homemade gift for Valentine’s Day
What is the best way to show your love? Go DIY with a homemade gift. In that way, your flame will see that you have thought of them and that you have made an effort to get to work yourself. It’s an ideal way to surprise your lover or partner on Valentine’s Day. Or simply for someone you care about.
Make a bouquet that always stays fresh
Flowers are always a good idea. But a real bouquet soon wilts: it’s hardly romantic. There is better. Look for colourful paper and fold origami flowers. Tie them together into a nice bouquet and have it delivered to the apple of your eye. This gift always stays fresh, just like your love.
Save your unforgettable moments
Your head is bound to be full of enjoyable, beautiful, moving and funny moments that you have experienced together. Write them in your finest handwriting on small pieces of paper and put them in a box. Be sure to leave enough room. Every time you guys do something fun together, another note can be added.
Carve your names into a tree trunk
Not a living tree, of course! Find a thick branch and saw off some thick slices. On top, carve or burn your names. Don’t forget to sand the cut edges properly. You don’t want to give your lover splinters.
Map out your love
Do you like to travel? Or are you scouring all the villages of the Ardennes together in alphabetical order? Immortalise the places you’ve been together on a map. Stick flags or pins in the places from where you have beautiful memories. Even more fun? Add a photo to it, or work with a different colour for places that are still on your bucket list.
Say it with a card
Remember those nice pop-up artworks you made as a child? Let yourself go one more time. Make it something ambitious, like a scene from your first date. Or simply a sea of multi-coloured hearts. Trust your creativity!
