Enjoy this sweet collection of fun finds for Valentine’s Day. These unique gift ideas (all from Etsy!) are perfect not just for significant others, but for anyone you love… including yourself.

People generally fall into one of two camps when it comes to Valentine’s Day: love it or loathe it.

I totally understand thinking it’s a cheesy made-up holiday brought to you by Hallmark and florists and candy makers. I understand being bitter about having sappy commercials thrown in your face if you’re unattached. But, at the same time, I love an excuse to celebrate love in all forms—for your kids, for your friends, for your significant other… for your freaking self!

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be all about romantic relationships. It’s a good excuse to remind anyone that you love them.

These fun finds for Valentine’s Day are a great way to do just that—and you might even want to treat yourself to a few of these gems.

I collected a bunch of super cute DIY kids valentines for school. These are fun and easy and can be personalized with a little creativity. There are also both candy and non-candy ideas—a little something for everyone!

Valentines have come a loooooong way since I was ripping perforated sheets and signing my name to them in the 90s. These days, it’s much more likely that glue guns and heavy parental input is involved. That’s ok, but I’m a firm believer in making sure the kids get their hands in there. It is, after all, their thing—even if momma has a vision.

I took to the interwebs and collected eighteen super cute DIY kids valentines that think outside the store-bought box and can be improved with a little bit of kiddie creativity. Whether it’s splattering the things in stickers, glitter glue, or drawing little pictures for their friends, kids can take these ideas and totally make them their own.

I also made sure to collect both candy and non-candy ideas (or valentines that can be customized to your needs) so that parents who don’t want all that sugar or who are making sure to keep kids with allergies safe are happy too.

Samantha is pretty opinionated (that actually might be the understatement of the millennium). She is very specific about her likes and dislikes, which makes something like finding valentines that suit her a little tricky. She likes things that are cute, but at the same time she has no interest in giving any of the boys in her class something lovey dovey that might give them the wrong idea (because, ew).

This post goes out to all of you people who are just like me: you have the best intentions and tons of big plans but you kiiiiiinda fall apart when it comes to the whole follow through and execution. You might have fabulous Pinterest boards and endless crafting supplies, but it all kind of just sits there waiting for you to take action.

I’m here to tell you it’s not too late to save Valentine’s Day. Those elaborate plans you stored up while you weren’t sleeping at 3 am? There are people to help you make them come to life. They’re the creators of printable goods on Etsy and they will make your dreams come true.

Seriously though. All you have to do is find a cute design and print it and then package your special something however you see fit. Semi-homemade goodness at its absolute best. Check out the Valentine’s Day printables I’m loving…

This post is part of my DIY Supply Purge Project. I realized that I was slowly being buried alive in DIY supplies that made me squeal but were never put to use. To fix that problem, I’ve made it my mission to use up all of my supplies before I buy any new ones—and to share some fun DIYs with you guys along the way.

Remember a year or so ago when I made that Halloween wreath with all of the googly eyes? Well that project sparked my daughter to proclaim that we should never buy another wreath again. Instead, the only thing worthy of our front door would be something made by me.

Can you feel the pressure? The girl is very opinionated and would have no problem scrunching her freckled nose and shaking her head to let me know my effort is sub par. Still, I bravely marched onward (or upward into my supply pit and then downward to the island in our kitchen where I toiled away with the weight of her pickiness sitting on my shoulders). Luckily, she loved it.
