Buy or DIY: 20 Gifts to get for your Valentine!

Love is in the air! And so is creativity! Nothing gets those creative juices flowing like making something or shopping for a loved one. Specially, with Valentine’s day in a couple of weeks. I use the term loved one, because you don’t necessarily have to have a partner to celebrate Valentine’s day. It could be with your family, your friends, your colleagues or a cuddle fest with your pets. That’s how I define valentine’s day – a day to celebrate with someone you love. Speaking of celebrating love, I’m sure you’ve started thinking of gifts! So, today we wanted to share 10 ideas that you can DIY and 10 you can BUY for your Valentine!

Note: All the items listed in the DIY section are from bloggers we love. So pop by and let us know how you like the content. For the BUY section, we’ve tried to pick products available globally and in stock when we wrote the article. We hope this article is helpful 🙂

Here are some ideas that are both easy on the eyes and the wallet,
