Valentine’s Day may be your big chance to get crafty and lovey-dovey for your sweetheart… even if you aren’t that much of a Pinterest crafter to begin with. Just because you want to give something heartfelt and homemade doesn’t mean it has to be expensive or difficult to put together! Feel free to take a look at your picks and customize them to suit your valentine’s personality!
Who doesn’t love winning things? Create a scratch off card for that special someone so they can win the lottery of love. Underneath the hearts you can write reasons why you love them, special things you will do just for them… basically whatever you want!

Even if you aren’t the mushy couple, a clever word pun and some treats will get you far in life. Whether you choose “You’re the apple of my eye,” “I’m nuts about you,” or this clever twist with alcohol, a treat box is something your valentine is sure to enjoy.
