A Valentine DIY

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner (I know you've been counting down the days), you might be looking for a gift idea. Well, this DIY is cute and simple. And if you’re like me and have little to no crafting talent, it is also very easy, fun, and cheap! This gift is also perfect for any other occasion where you might want to let someone know how much you love them - such as a birthday or anniversary. AND, it can be a gift for anyone: a spouse, a friend, a loved one, or your children.

I made this for A as a birthday gift a few years ago, and while it can be difficult to come up with 52 ideas (not that there isn't that much to love about him, but that sometimes things become redundant!), he appreciated the time and thought put into each card. And since I am also terrible at figuring out gifts to give to people, it was easy for me to obtain the supplies and make the gift itself.

Supplies needed:

+ a deck of cards

+ a fine tip permanent marker

+ a list of 52 Things I Love About You

Simply write "52 Things I Love About You" on the card box, write a phrase on each card with a marker, shuffle the deck and place back into box, wrap it up (if you so choose), and give it to a lucky person!

In the end, this gift would cost you the price of cards ($3?), and some time spent coming up with loving ideas about the person you’re giving the gift to! It’s a very thoughtful gift that anyone is sure to enjoy! Afterwards, use the cards for a card game, carry one on your person to serve as a reminder, use a card as a bookmark, or even place one on the fridge.
