14 Fabulous and Homemade Ways to say I LOVE You!

Every year Michael always asks me what I want for Valentines. He usually does this when I’m in the middle of something so my answer is always the same.

  NOTHING!

Of course, to hubby, that answer is not acceptable.  According to him I may ‘say’ nothing-but deep down inside he knows I really ‘want’ something.  And if he doesn’t get me….something, he fears the wrath of doom will come crashing down on Valentine’s day.

According to the news this morning, hubby isn’t alone. 75% of women surveyed stated they too wanted ‘NOTHING’ for Valentine’s day.

The clincher-when asked the same question AFTER Valentines’ day, 25% said they lied!

Maybe those poor ladies were like me.  Maybe they were just too busy to think about what they wanted, or, maybe they felt guilty for asking for something.

  Or, and this is more likely, maybe they just simply wanted the element of surprise.

Because let’s be frank.  Most of us want a little something-something that says ‘I LOVE YOU’ on Valentine’s day.

Sure you can always pick up a box of chocolate or a lovely bouquet of flowers…..

But wouldn’t it be SUPER special, if the gift you gave was made by your very own hands?

Today I’ve rounded up fourteen quick and easy (and budget-friendly) homemade gifts for all those special folks in your life!
