Valentine Gifts EverThirft Way Part 2

So here are some more fun, creative and inexpensive ways to show your Valentine that you care.

~ Print of a romantic or inspiring quote. Place in a Thrift Store frame. You can even paint the frame red and add a pretty ribbon or a few paper hearts. ~

~ Step out in your yard or go for a walk in the park. Find a tree branch or stick. Go to Thrift store and pick up a tall vase or recycle a pretty food bottle. Find some rocks or marbles either at the park, in your yard, at the Thrift Store or the Dollar Store. Place marbles in the jar. These will look pretty and help hold the branch in place. Place branch in the marbles. Now decorate the branch with ribbons, bows, or any other craft items. The next and final step.... Add tiny love notes. ~

~ Make a Love Sign. Take an old piece of wood or metal. Use masking or duct tape to create Letters. Make sure all edges of the letters are pressed down. Grab some spray paint, any color you want or have on hand, and give it a good coating. After a couple of hours check to see if you missed any spots. Give a second coat. After that coat is dry peel off the tape. ~

~ Make a one of a kind book mark out of card stock or use an old creating a card. ~

~ Give heart shaped brownies with almond bark or candy melts drizzled over the tops ~

 ~ Frame a sheet of music. By its self or color a pretty red heart in the middle of it. ~

~ Write an old fashioned love note. ~

~ Want something a little racier..... Create a Special Box..... Place items like candles, matches, a feather, some massage oil (or use coconut or olive oil ), maybe some chocolate or other candy. Use your imagination. ~

~ Heart shaped rice crispies ~

~ A balloon bouquet is easy and cheap to make your own. Most Party Stores or Dollar Stores sell plain colored balloons for about a dollar. Pick your colors and use a candy bar to hold all the balloons down. ~

Want more fun ideas look at what is being offered in the stores and see if you can duplicate something in a much cheaper way.  Or make a trip to your local Thrift Store and pick up anything heart shaped. Sometimes you can even find barely used Valentines gifts that some one else no longer needed.


Hope you find something you can use here at EverThrift to make your Valentine a memorable one.

Until next time......
Thank You and May God Bless You and Your Family
