I’m all about handmade for Valentine’s Day. (It’s obvious, really.) Handmade items are more unique and often more personal than mass manufactured stuff. Here’s a tip, guys: It’s not always about price, sometimes it’s about the amount of thought and effort you put into your purchase. Most of the women I know would rather have a carefully chosen if inexpensive item that indicates how well her man knows her than something he picked up at the mall an hour earlier in a desperate rush. Here are a few sweet ideas that won’t break your budget.
Search handmade for her favorite flower: daisy, tulip, pansy, rose… Don’t know? Ask her!
If she likes tchochkes…
If she likes critters: cats, birds, snails, rabbits, etc…
She’s green…
You want to go the traditional route: jewelry, hearts, pink, red…
Don’t just get something for the sake of getting something. Impress her by giving a gift that’s all about HER.
