It is almost 14^th February which can only mean one thing; Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s Day is one of the special days of the year purely celebrated to showing your loved-one how you truly feel about them and that you care.

It is an annual commemoration held every year, rejoicing the love and affection between intimate companions and partners.

The day was named after an early Christian martyr called Valentine and it was established as early as 500 AD. It was deleted from the Roman calendar of saints in 1969 but still exists today, as a day for lovers to express their feelings for each other.

Whether you are male or female, show your other half how romantic you are by wining and dining them, treating them special and giving them a gift.

Popular present ideas are the usual bunch of flowers but why not make that extra little bit of effort and make your own gift?

Homemade offerings are a fantastic gesture as they require time and energy so it shows that you have really thought about the gift and that you care.

So grab one of our PVC Aprons and get creative, imaginative and romantic!

Hearts Frame

This frame is super cute and you don’t have to be a pro to make it. It only takes an hour altogether and you can mix the design up with whatever you want.

Why not do one big heart instead or put a picture of you and your loved-one in the middle?

Instructions

Heart Box

This box does require a lot more attention and is aimed more at the intermediate level.

It takes slightly longer, taking about an hour and a half but the end result will pay off; just look how beautiful it is!

Use dried flowers and odd bits of jewellery to personalise the piece and add little pebbles that you can colour in red to create that overall impressive gift.

Instructions

Decorated Candles

This gift is a perfect choice as it is sentimental and decorative for your home. You can colour coordinate the candles with the décor theme of the house and when you light them, they will smell gorgeous and give the room a real romantic aura and ambience.

Use anything from gems, glitter or diamantes to make them sparkle.

Why not place in the middle of the dining table whilst you cook a meal?
