5 Homemade Valentine's Day Gifts to Give...Even If You Aren't Creative

I must confess something, Friends. I am NOT a creative person. I’m just not. I suppose that in a way my creating lesson plans and my love of coloring are creative. I guess I would say I’m not “Pinterest” creative.

Have you ever seen some of those beautiful homemade gift ideas on Pinterest and thought, “I could make that!” only to have what you made turn out not so gift worthy? I could start a blog with my Pinterest fails. In fact, I have a permanent red stain on my kitchen linoleum because I was trying to make a decorative cork board I found on Pinterest. It’s a long story.

So what are we to do if we want to give beautiful gifts, but we aren’t creative? Why not turn to someone who is?

A few weeks ago, I was on Etsy looking at blog designs, and I realized- “Hey, there are some awesomely creative people here!” I was surprised at how many great homemade gifts I found and how reasonably priced many of them were. If you’re looking for some great homemade gifts that you can give to family and friends this Valentine’s Day, check out some of these featured on Etsy.

Beautiful All Natural Felted, Heart-Shaped Soaps

I would love to get these as a gift! There are four heart-shaped soaps. They’re made of all natural and organic ingredients and covered in soft wool. It would make a great gift for parent or best friend. (And you can tell my husband they’d be a great gift for wives as well!)

Mini Heart-Shaped Wax Melts

These mini wax melts are made of natural soy and shaped like hearts. They come in a variety of colors and scents and you get forty-eight hearts in a bag. These would be great to split up and give as teacher gifts for your child’s Sunday school teacher or co-op teacher or coach.

Homemade Soap and Lip Balm Set

I love to find little gifts that come in sets. Am I the only one? This set has a soap and lip balm made with all natural ingredients. The price is so good that you can buy several sets- one for each of your kiddos, if you have a house full of girls. They would also make cute teacher gifts.

Homemade Hot Cocoa Mason Jar Gift With Personalized Tag

These are super cute little mason jars filled with homemade hot cocoa mix. They come complete with a little gift tag that you can customize. Because you can personalize the tag, you can use these little jars as a great gift for anyone, but I think they would make cute gifts for teachers or the kids’ friends.

Digital Printable Valentine’s Stickers

If you’re looking for a cute addition to the Valentines your kids want to hand out or you want to make valentines for a co-op class or other kid group, these would be perfect to add to a sweet gift. You can customize the wording on the stickers as well.

Homemade Heart-Shaped Dog Treats in a Gift Tin

Okay, okay, this is technically a sixth gift. But I can’t forget my baby puppy on Valentine’s Day! If you have a baby puppy in your life, don’t leave her out. These cute heart-shaped dog treats that come in a Valentine’s Day tin are perfect!

So, there you go. The next best thing to making your own homemade Valentine’s Day gifts is to buy homemade Valentine’s Day gifts, right? Check out some of these for your special people.
