Valentine's Day DIY

Valentine's Day Banner

This cute Valentine's Day banner is perfect for the holiday. The things you'll need are construction paper, scissors, twine, a hole punch (or clothespins), and something to hang it up with. (I used double-sided tape.)

Here is how I made it:

1.) Cut out hearts from the construction paper. I used pink and white for Valentine's Day. The fastest way to cut these out is to fold the paper over an inch or two and cut half of a heart.

2.) Using a hole puncher, punch 2 holes in the top of the hearts like so.

                                                         

                   

3.) Now it's time to put the twine through the heart! If you choose, you can skip the hole punching and hang up your hearts with clothespins, which is super cute too.

And there is your cute, festive Valentine's Day Banner!

Valentine's Day Gifts for Him

Most people associate Valentine's day with getting a female a gift (or gifts) of some sort. If you don't want your man to feel left out, but you don't know what to get him, here are some ideas for you!

1.) Custom Rubik's Cube.                                                                    

If your guy is into little trinkets like this, it would be the perfect gift! Whether you put pictures of you together, or his favorite teams, it is special because you customized it yourself. Here is the link to a custom cube kit to get started: http://rubiks.com/store/product/custom-3x3-cube

2.) A wallet

I don't know any guy who doesn't want a wallet. That is all I have to say
about that. Maybe you could have his name put on it to make it more special.
Either way, this is a great idea, especially if it's time for a new wallet!

3.) Things you love about him

It might sound cheesy, but you can make a list of all of the things you love
about him. Whether you put it on a deck of cards or write it on a piece of
paper, he really will see how much you love him. That's what valentine's
day is all about, right?

4.) Customizable deck of cards

Speaking of a deck of cards, there are so many things you can customize
now, and at your local Walmart or pharmacy. One of those things you can
customize is a deck of cards, with your pictures on it. If he is not into cards,
you can try customizing something else, like a coffee mug.

5.) Collect some of his favorite movies/games

You can never go wrong by getting your guy some of his favorite video
games and movies. Maybe even accessories that go along with those like
those headphones he has been wanting.

6.) Take him out to dinner

Usually it is the guys who take girls out to dinner. Try switching it up for

Valentine's Day. Take him to his favorite restaurant, and maybe even that movie

he has been wanting to see. He will definitely be surprised when he finds

out you are the one taking him out on a date!

7.) Chocolate

Guys like chocolate too! Usually chocolate is what the               
guy gets the girl, but get him some chocolate too. I'm sure   
he will appreciate it!

8.) Make a gift basket

Think of all of his favorite things. What movies does he like? 

What candy? Put some of these things in a gift basket, along with

things like deodorant, razors, and body wash; just anything

he won't have to buy later on himself.

9.) Cook for him

Cook him his favorite treat, whether it is peanut butter cookies

or pizza and chicken wings.

10.) Tickets

Tickets to a game or a concert are win/win.

Even if the game is a blowout or you get rained out at a concert, you still

get to spend it with your valentine.

I hope these 10 gift ideas help you out. Have a great Valentine's Day!
