Good morning my friends. Can you believe we are well into February already? Wowie Valentines day is just around the corner and hopefully Spring will follow soon….
Today I want to share a quick and easy Valentines Gift Idea I whipped up the other day. Seriously this doesn’t take longer than an hour and you’ll have a whole bunch of cute little give aways ready.
It all starts with this:
A nice big box of matches. The bigger the box the better in my opinion. But it works with boxes in all sizes.
Gather your materials:
Some pretty papers, a glue stick, ruler and craft knife and an old fashioned label maker.
And then get to work …..
Wrap the box in the pretty paper. Make cute little ‘matching’ labels (pun totally intended) and you are basically ready.
And you can totally let your imagination go wild with the texts. Within five minutes I came up with these ideas to help you along:
For that someone special:
Your kisses taste like fire
I burn for you
We are a match made in heaven
Baby, you are hot!
You light my fire
For your girlfriends, sister, mother…..
You are a light in my life
You warm my heart
You are a shining light
For a teacher, mentor or coach…
Shine your light on me
You are a guiding light
Thank you for that spark of inspiration
Thank you for lighting my path
If you don’t have a label maker you can also create your strips of text with a pretty font and your printer. I think these would work wonderfully:
When you add a nice scented candle and some chocolates for the women in your life, or a package of those special grill herbs or fire starters for the men in your life you will have a complete little gift package.
I told you this was easy!
I hope you enjoyed my little Valentines Gift Idea!
Happy Valentines Day my special friends!!
Such a cute, inexpensive idea for a gift! And I love those fonts you shared…I downloaded and installed all of them and I can’t wait to try them out! Thank you so much!
Hi Marianne!
