At our house, we do Valentine’s a little bit differently. We don’t have a romantic dinner and if we decide to do gifts we keep them simple or homemade (yay for DIY Gift Ideas!). You’ll usually find us in our PJ’s watching one of our go-to shows, after having dinner with the kids.
It’s not that we don’t like going out or giving gifts but we like to do those things throughout the year more than just doing them on the expected holiday. Going out on Valentine’s is always more busy and crazy than going out a week before or after the holiday, which we like to do.
But enough about how we do Valentine’s Day differently, let’s talk DIY gifts. There are so many fun DIY gift ideas for valentine’s out there and I’m so excited to share with you some of my favorite DIY gifts that I have made and some ideas from some blogger friends.
DIY Gift Ideas for Valentine’s
DIY gifts are a great way to give a more meaningful and personalized gift. You can also find DIY projects that are really inexpensive to help keep the gift-giving within your budget.

T-Shirt Quilt
A couple of years ago I made Jared a quilt using T-shirts. The quilt had shirts from Kneaders (where we met), the Disney t-shirts we got on our honeymoon, first Carmedic shirts and more.
The t-shirt quilt took more time than I thought it would, but it’s a gift Jared loves and it’s something he couldn’t get anywhere else.
