Handmade and Heartfelt Gift Ideas
“Reasons Why I Love You” Jar
This idea is super simple but a great gift to give in addition to any of the others on this list! Cut small strips of paper and write out all the reasons why you love your Valentine. Make an assortment of silly things (“I love how much you love Kombucha”) and heartfelt moments (“You took my breath away on the day we met”). Place all of these sweet handwritten notes into a mason jar and decorate the top with a ribbon and a small note that says “Reasons Why I Love You” or instructions, such as: “Read One A Day When I’m Away.”
Digital Photo Books and Cards
If you want to create a digital scrapbook for your Valentine, consider using the free Scrapbook templates on Canva. You don’t need the pro version to create beautiful digital spreads! You can even use the text features to include more details than you could fit in a traditional caption. A digital scrapbook like this is also a great companion to our physical Photo Books. Here are some ideas for combining the two mediums!
Valentine’s Day Cookbook: Gather all your best date night recipes, cocktail recipes, and decadent desserts and create a Photo Book. Include your favorite photos of you and your Valentine enjoying your favorite meals, photographs from date nights, and special occasions. Then, use our QR code feature to link to a digital scrapbook with all the recipe details from your favorite meals. You can even find “mock” recipes for your favorite restaurants and try to recreate the magic at home. This is a fun way to add a digital element to your custom Photo Book!
Memory Lane Time Capsule: Create a Photo Book that documents your journey together—feature milestones like your first date, trips, and anniversaries. Add a QR Code in the back of your Photo Book that links to Google Drive or Google Slides to show custom video clips, playlists, saved text messages, scanned handwritten love letters, and more.
Shared Bucket List: Compile a Photo Book filled with photos and descriptions of places and activities you and your Valentine want to visit or experience. Surprise your Valentine with a romantic getaway by adding a QR code that links to your next destination! You could even create a short video or slideshow that reveals images of their dream adventure and then surprise them with the tickets in person.
🎁 Team Pick: Our 12x12 Hardcover Photo Book is the perfect choice for a personalized Photo Book.
DIY Care Package
Everyone loves a little “Me” time! Customize a small box or basket with their favorite everyday items like snacks, tea, candles, and scented soaps or lotions. Add flowers and a handwritten note to add a personal touch.
