Guys…Are you ready for Valentine's Day?
I know it seems crazy to talk about or even think about Valentine’s Day when it’s still a month away! But guys, be realistic… you know you’re going to end up running around on February 13th grabbing the last heart shaped box of chocolates and mushy card that’s left. And you know your Valentine deserves much better than that, right?! (Yes!)
So, let me help. The main thing you have to know about Valentine’s Day is your significant other wants something that’s unique and special. She will love store bought items, but would be ecstatic over something you make on your own! I know, that’s scary to think about. But here’s where I come in.
My suggestion:
To have the best of both worlds you should pick several small gifts that you know she’ll enjoy, or one big gift and a few small gifts and then add your special touch by packaging it all in a nice basket.
Here’s how to do it:
Go to Wal-Mart or Target or Hobby Lobby (any store with a crafts section) and buy a dark brown, white, red, or pink basket big enough to put the gifts in. (Make sure it’s not too big and has low sides so she will be able to see what’s in the basket.)
While you’re there buy clear cellophane wrap – it comes on a roll. And Valentine’s Day themed ribbon (Red, Pink or something with Hearts on it.)
Take the gifts you bought and arrange them in the basket so she can see each of them.
Cut a large piece of clear cellophane and set the basket in the center.
Pull the cellophane up on all sides and bunch it together at the top.
Tie the ribbon around the top to hold it together.
There you go! You will have great gifts she will love plus you’ve added a touch of creativity. I can promise you, she will be shocked to find out you made the basket all yourself! Just don’t tell her you got the idea from us… and we promise to keep our lips sealed too.
If you have any problems picking out the basket, gifts, or difficulty making the basket let us know! We want to help! Good Luck!
