Homemade Valentine's Day Gifts - Six Easy Ideas for Making Your Own Romantic Gifts

Have you ever wondered why we are led to believe that the best Valentine's Day gifts are also the most expensive? In my relationship, we value our time together most of all. And we are on a shared budget, which means any extraordinary extravagance is a shared burden.

The truth is, Valentine's Day is big business. Too often, retailers want us to believe that we need to spend lots of money on traditional Valentine's Day gifts in order to properly prove our love to one another.

This year, let's make a stand for the heartfelt, sentimental, simple gift. Homemade gifts carry the message to your loved one that she is worth not just your cash, but your time, energy, creativity, and thoughtfulness.

Here are six ideas for simple but romantic homemade Valentine's Day gifts.

1. Make a scrapbook. This is one of the easiest gifts to make, and if you plan ahead, you won't even have to touch a glue stick if you don't want to. Many of the online photo processing sites have systems in place where creating a sentimental gift is as easy as dragging and dropping your favorite photos into pre-made templates. Some of them will even provide the romantic quotes to go alongside them.

If you would rather make a more traditional scrapbook yourself, the scrapbooking industry has made that easy for you, too. Purchase a simple mini book kit from your local craft store and cut and paste your favorite photos inside. The most romantic of these mini scrapbook albums or photo books will include personal sentiments, such as "Ten Things I Love About You," "My Favorite Memories of the Past Year," or "You're My Perfect Valentine Because..." All you will need to do is fill in the blanks.

2. Make a scented candle. Your local craft supply store will likely have a kit that makes it a cinch to create a beautiful homemade candle. If you make sure to follow the instructions in the kit carefully, it's an easy process, and you'll be able to customize your homemade candle with dyes and scents to make a gorgeous creation. Make sure to pair your gift with a thoughtful sentiment in a handmade card.

3. Make a Mix CD. Burn a CD of your loved one's favorite music.

4. Make your Valentine's favorite meal. Plan a romantic homemade dinner with a nice bottle of wine and some candlelight. Make sure your loved one's favorite songs are playing in the background.

5. Bake it up. Bake a batch of your partner's favorite sweet treats and wrap up a box of the homemade confections. These will remind your loved one of you, so they'll be much more romantic and personalized than a store-bought box of chocolates (and less expensive, too).

6. Make a Memory Jar. Fill a jar with slips of paper that detail your favorite times of the year, or even your favorite memories of your relationship from the beginning. Create a card that instructs your loved one to read one new slip of paper every day.

Even if you opt for a store-bought gift this Valentine's Day, make sure that you include your personal sentiments on a card. You can easily create a meaningful and romantic gift just by writing down what's in your heart.

3. A framed photo - a nice, professional photographed portrait may be just the ticket. Don’t forget to have it nicely framed for a finished look. But be sure to keep it a surprise.

You can even create your own collection, by grouping movies by actor or movie theme. Complete the gift, by watching the movies with him and enjoying it (even if you have to pretend).

Valentine Gifts That Will Pamper Her

As Valentines Day approaches, many men are getting nervous as they know they will be put on the spot yet again to give the best gift that they can. Men tend to put to much pressure on them selves when this holiday rolls around as they think they need to be extra romantic and somehow outdo every other man, where the gift giving is concerned.

This doesn't have to be a hard holiday and men do not need to go to great lengths to prove their undying love to their number one leading lady. All you need is a little bit of creativity and you will come out on top when she opens her gift. One this you can be sure of is that you should try to stay away from the cliche gifts such as chocolate and cheap flowers from the gas station.

Woman love to be pampered and it really doesn't take much to make a woman feel pampered. You can get her a gift certificate to a nail salon so she can get a manicure and pedicure when ever she likes. Women love to feel taken care of and this is a great way to let her sit down and relax, letting someone else take care of her. This is a great choice for a Valentines gift and will get you great brownie points as well.

You can also go with a gift certificate to a local salon where she can get a full body massage, a facial or even a hot rock massage. The ideas are virtually limitless. You can get the gift certificate for something specific or you can leave it open so she can spend it as she wants when she gets to the salon.

If money is an issue then you can also check with local schools that teach massages classes or even nail techs. They offer the same services for a much lower price and the services are performed by the top students under the supervision of their teachers so you can be sure that she will get top quality care and get the pampering that she so deserves.

Buying the perfect Valentines gift doesn't have to be a problem. It is waiting till the last minute that will get you into trouble. Waiting that long to make your gift purchase leaves you with little to choose from.

1. Strawberries dipped in Chocolate or Fondue Chocolate and Strawberries go great together. You can almost always find them ripe these days in the grocery store. Bring them home and dip in melted chocolate, or create a chocolate fondue using 16 oz. of one or two types of chocolate 1 and a half Cup of cream. They will look and taste wonderful and are easy and fun to share.

2. Cookie Bouquets Flowers are lost on men, but not cookies! Cookie bouquets are decorated and plain cookies in a variety of shapes that are stuck to the top of wooden dowels made to look like a bouquet of flowers. It Is a spectacular gift that is fun and yummy!

3. Cheesecake in a Heart Shape and Rich luscious cheesecake is always a pleaser. You can purchase heart shaped cake pans at most department and discount stores, or any of the new fun shapes that are available. He will love the homemade effort.

He will protest, but he will love you for it!

9. Candy Bouquet- Similar to the cookie bouquet but made with candy bars attached to dowels to look like flowers. This one is guaranteed to be gone in a snap!
