Even though Valentines Day is still days away I thought we might go over some EverThrift ways of showing your love. The most important gift does not cost you a dime. Simply say "I LOVE YOU" and "THANK YOU"
However if that is all you give your Valentine you might find yourself in the dog house or at least on the couch for a night.
Below you will find lots of great and inexpensive things to show your love. Some need a little time so start now.
~Take a deck of cards and on each card write a reason you love the other person. On back of the cards write. '52 ways I Love You' ~
~ Back a patch of heart shaped cookies ~
~ Make one big heart shape cookie. Frost and decorate with words of love. ~
~ Check the supermarket for marked down plants ~
~ Make a coupon book. Filled with all sorts of coupons. For example: This coupon entiltes the holder to one night of nag free Gaming. or This coupon enititles the holder to have a day free of xxxxx chore. You can make them as simple or as racey as you want. Make them by hand or use your computer.~
~ Leave little love notes everywhere. on the bathroom mirror, in their underwear drawer, in the fridge, lunch box,car.... You get the point. Just leave lots of them. ~
~ Make candy bar sleeves on your computer. Then place their favorite candy bar inside. ~
~ Write a letter and use candies and candy bars in place of the words. Like.... You are my Sugar Baby. ~
~ Fill a recycled jar or coffee creamer container with candy hearts or other small candy ~
~ Heart shaped cakes are pretty simple to make using a couple of round cake pans. ~
~ Cupcakes are easy and simple~
~ Make dinner at home, from scratch and rent a movie ~
~ Cookie pops are fun to make but take some time. Easy alternitive place stick in a double stuff cookie then dip in melted Almond Bark ~
~ Gather some candles or matches then search Thrift stores or your house for something like a globe. Place these items together with a note that says 'You Light My World' ~
~ Make a trip to the dollar store and pick up some fake flowers and ribbon. Next make a trip to your local Thrift Store and pick up a pretty vase. Or better yet recycle and old pickle jar. ~
~ Put together a scrapbook ~
~ Gather some scarp material and sew up some tiny stuffed hearts. You can even use a Sharpie to write a message on each of them ~
Got kids that need Valentines for class parties. When my kids were in grade school we would gather up some paper and make our own. Over the years we used card stock, printer paper, newspaper, old wallpaper and even gift wrapping paper. Decorated with crayons, markers, stickers and any other craft supplies on hand.
One year I was a Room Mother and I made each child a baggie full of homemade play dough. Pink for girls and Red for boys.
Well I had better wrap this up getting late at night.
Until Next Time
Thank You for reading my blog
Have Blessed Day
Evonne
