View topic - homemade v-day gift ideas
so i was looking for something to make for justin, cuz i don't have a lot of money, and i saw this online.
it's a book made out of a deck of playing cards, called "52 reasons why I love you."
love book
i thought i'd share it on here, in case there are others trying to figure out what to get their s.o., and maybe you guys could share your ideas too :)
what are you getting your s.o's? or friends? or hell, even yourselves?

My boyfriend loves chocolate and candy, so I think I'm going to make him something with that. Maybe a box tower with different gummies or chocolates in each level.

that's a really cool idea! i bet he loves it ^_^
Thanks. I hope he will.
Your love book idea is really neat as well.
It might be overdone, but maybe you could even do coupons? Like "this coupon good for a free back rub," etc.
I've never heard of cutoutandkeep.net though... I'm going to be there forever now. Haha

I'm still working on a sketchbook I turned scrapbook. It's full of sketches, stories of me and my best friend, pictures and all the art I ever got of us together.
I'm hoping he enjoys it as much as I had fun working on it.

I need to come up with something clever to do using only materials we already have... I literally cannot buy a single thing for him this V-day, neither of us have jobs and our student loans have come out, so whenever we do get our hands on a little cash it has to go directly to food, gas, diapers, etc... so I'm scouring the web, as soon as I find something I'll let you guys know.
I am making some cute things outta felt for my boyfriend. ^^
In a trail of fire I know we will be free again,
In the end we will be one.
In a trail of fire I'll burn before you bury me,
Set your sights for the sun.

I'd do that, but I don't think I could find 52 ideas XD

Unoriginal but I made a coupon. It's a pass to make me do something I don't want to do knowing full well my partner is the type of person to take advantage of it.

i thought about coupons, but i know he'd want to use them when i'm least in the mood for it and then i'd be stuck :P
@evanesence

damn.. seriously, i love that. one of these days i'm gonna have to do something like that. ..if it's ok to steal?
@ciel

@savagery

@vitu
that sounds really cool :) i love felt. what sort of things are you making?
@P || Q U E D
i know! i'm so worried i won't be able to come up with 52 reasons. but i'm sure that once i start, it will be really easy. i've already thought of about 15 so far. like, i really love his laugh :)
@thalassaemia
i thought about making coupons too, but i didn't for that exact reason lol
maybe your partner will go easy on you? good luck!
@panda
