Valentine’s is fast approaching, so here is our list of the eight best gifts you can make yourself for your valentine.
- Knitted blanket
This is one of the best gifts to keep your valentine cozy and warm during those unexpected Texas colds. However, this could be challenging if you don’t have prior knitting experience. The required item to construct this would be a knitting kit. Though challenging, the work and dedication you put in will reflect in your blanket.
- Handmade soap
Soap is one of life’s basic necessities and making that for your valentine is a simple, yet smart gift. The process to make this gift can be rather taxing – needing extensive time and attention, but in the end, the piece you get is sure to wow your significant other.
- Oil painting
An oil painting to showcase your love would be a flawless gift due to the opportunity to exhibit your emotions toward your valentine. The items needed are relatively simple and accessible to get by only needing oil paints, a canvas and a paintbrush. This gift stands out due to its uniqueness in comparison to other common gifts and is truly a wonderful present.
- Play-Doh ceramics and sculptures
‘Play-Doh’ can be used to make mock-up pottery and ceramics. Not only can you make pottery but also physical art items like animals. If you’re really advanced, you can create a physical sculpture of your person.
- Tape wallet
A DIY wallet is perfect if you’re low on resources but still want to make something novel for your lover. Creating one is fairly simple and only requires tape, but if you want to spice it up, you can take a pen and paper and sketch up a design to tape to your masterpiece.
- Bead bracelet
This is a small but lasting gift where you are able to showcase how creative you are. The required resources for this are beads and some form of string. The process of creating it is child’s play by putting the beads around the string in the formation you want, then tying the two-ends together.
- Music playlist
It’s an unorthodox but masterful gift where you are able to showcase your love through the art of music. This is the easiest gift on the list because all it requires is your phone, a music app and wonderful songs for your sweetheart to jam out to.
- Handwritten Valentine’s Day card
This is a tried and true classic gift with so much freedom on how you approach making one. To create this gift all you need is paper, pens and some art supplies. Then, you can put whatever you want in the card with things like notes, pictures, drawings and poems coming to mind. This gift is an outstanding one and is sure to make Valentine’s Day even more special.
