Have a Heart: Handmade Valentine's Day Gifts

Feb 12, 2010

By: Guest Blogger

Hi again, and happy Friday! I've been enjoying researching these Valentine's Day posts, and I'm here today with a roundup of heart-shaped gift ideas that you could make. I tried to choose projects that were small but sweet so that they'd be do-able in time for Sunday, even if you have more than one sweetheart!

One of these Heart-Shaped Zippered Pouches from The Purl Bee would be perfect for carrying your pocket change down to the Valentine's Day Bake Sale to buy a pink-iced cupcake!
Speaking of cupcakes: how about these heart-shaped cupcake toppers from The Small Object?
Whimsical hearts embroidered on coasters – perfect for setting underneath a cup of very special hot chocolate.
Do you know someone whose heart goes pitter-pat at the thought of robots? This is for them (see photo, above).
Crocheted hearts that you could tuck into someone's coat pocket for a *love*ly surprise. (Flat, stuffed.)
Prefer something a bit more anatomically correct? Shannon Gerard's got your back (erm, heart) – her tiny crocheted hearts are great.

Finally, these two gifts aren't heart-shaped, but they are great. Thanks to my sister for pointing me to two great ways of telling someone exactly why you love them: in a box or in book form. Fabulous! I hope you have a happy Valentine's Day (or at least get to enjoy some half-priced chocolate shopping on Monday!). Psst – Don't forget that you've got until 11:59 p.m. Monday night to enter this week's giveaway!
