Valentine's Day: 7 "Kost-Nix" gift ideas that come from the heart

For many, Valentine's Day is an opportunity to tell the heart of heart how much it means to you. It works with these DIY gifts.

On February 14th the time has come again: chocolates, jewelry and flowers go over the counter, all in the sign of love. Because to make the friend of Valentine's Day a small gift, many couples are simply part of it every year.

It's just a shame that many purchased Valentine's Day gifts are not really personal and therefore somehow interchangeable. They are also mostly expensive, because on Valentine's Day, many people are ready to spend a little more for the gifts.

If you want to give your*your loved one something very special this year and do not dig too deep into your pocket, we have something for you. Here are 7 ideas for homemade Valentine's Day gifts that express your love much more than any gift bought.

1. Mason jar full of date ideas

Many couples proceed to go to common dates regularly even after months or years of being together. However, it is sometimes not so easy to plan these dates. Because at some point the ideas go out - and only eating will be boring in the long run.

A really nice gift for Valentine's Day is therefore a DIY pick-up glass full of paper with date ideas. Simply write nice things together (from the picnic in the park to the karting can really be there) and fill it into the glass. A few days before a planned date, you can then pull a piece of paper together and the company is certain.

2. Heart -shaped bombs

If you like to bathe your girlfriend or friend, homemade bombs are a sweet idea. You can find instructions for DIY bath bombsYou can easily get the heart shape with a silicone shape (is available here at Amazon*).

Tipp:You can also add a few dried flowers, for example rose petals, to the bomb.

3. Framed WhatsApp messages

Can your partner make your heart to jump with sweet news again and again in everyday life? A creative gift for Valentine's Day can also be made from this.

Find messages from you and him*you out, in which you have complimented the other or wrote something particularly beautiful. You can make a screenshot of the messages and then print them out.

Then cut out the individual messages and stick the notes into a picture frame. If you like, you can glue a cute photo of both of you.

4. Breakfast in bed

A small gesture, the effect of which is often underestimated: a really nice breakfast in bed. Especially if you don't want to give anything material that will only stand around at some point, this is a great gift idea.

Simply serve a tray (here you can use the classic flowers and chocolates to decorate) and prepare the favorite breakfast of your heart.

5. Photos

The most beautiful moments together are often held on photos, but they hardly look at them afterwards. A more creative gift for Valentine's Day, when these photos simply print out, is a DIY photo memory. This helps to keep remembering your moments together and is therefore the perfect gift idea.

Just look for a mix of your most beautiful and funniest photos and have it printed at a photo service provider as a memory.

I had a photo memory printed on Meinfoto for Christmas and I am very satisfied with the result. But there are also numerous other providers for this.

6. Massage voucher

Honestly: who is not happy about an extensive massage? A voucher for this is therefore a really good gift for Valentine's Day. Because it is not only free, but also brings you closer to you through the time together and the touch.

Simply make a card (for example in the form of a heart) and write down the voucher. It is best to get a good massage oil beforehand (For example this from Amazon*), that makes a big difference in the massage.

7. Net message on the mirror

This idea is more sweet attention than a classic gift. But that doesn't make you less romantic. Get pink glue notes and write short messages on it. These can be compliments, common memories or beautiful things you want for your friend.

Then glue the notes in the form of a heart to the bathroom mirror and wait until your partner*goes into the bathroom for the next time - so the surprise effect is greater and the gift is much nicer.

We hope that our tips for homemade gifts could give you some inspiration for Valentine's Day. We hope you enjoy tinkering and a nice day with your loved one.
