Nothing is quite as sweet as receiving a handmade gift. Valentine's Day in particular tends to be oversaturated with cheesy, cliched gifts, which is why a heartfelt, handmade present is extra special. Going the extra mile to craft or find the perfect handmade Valentine's Day gift idea doesn't have to be hard, however. With our four easy ideas, the ideal gifts for your loved ones is just a quick read away.

What do women want? For Valentine's Day, what she wants depends largely on what type of a person she is.

5. Homemade Valentine's Day Card Ideas

Homemade Valentine's Day cards are as heartwarming as they are unique. Store bought cards, though full of poetic waxing on the meaning of love and romance, can be impersonal and trite. A homemade card, on the other hand, speaks volumes about the care and effort that went into making it without the long-winded, cliche words about love.


6. Setting the Mood on Valentine's Day: Food, Flowers and Candles

Because Valentine's Day is all about love and expressing your feelings I prefer to keep the event itself low key and comfortable. At the same time the mood should be sensual, encouraging contact and communication. There are a few key elements that definitely help you to create this vibe: flowers, candles, and food that can be eaten (and fed to each other) with your fingers!


7. Valentine's Day Quotes and Sentiments

Flowers have a magical way of saying what words sometimes cannot. At the same time the words that accompany the flowers can have a power all their own. Those words can be heart wrenching or funny, a simple "I love you".


8. Homemade Valentine's Day Candy

What could be sweeter than to make your loved one homemade candy on Valentine's Day? Don't be intimidated if you've never made candy before. Some of these recipes are very easy and only require microwave cooking, or rather melting, while others employ traditional candy-making methods. The best part is that they are in holiday colors such as Pink Pecan Fudge, Red Velvet Rocky Road, or Scarlet Toffee perfect for Valentine's Day!
