FOR HIM
DIY gifts for boyfriends are always so hard! Here’s some ideas that fit almost every type of man, and are just so cute there’s no way anyone wouldn’t like them.
1. I DONUT KNOW WHAT I’D DO WITHOUT YOU
How simple and cute is this one? Simply pick a fun assortment of your boyfriend’s favorite donuts, then write a customized message on the lid! You can drop this off at their school or work for an extra sweet surprise.
2. HOOKED ON YOU
So cute, and here’s the catch (pun intended): he can use it as a miniature tackle box once he eats the candy!
3. WALKED INTO MY LIFE
Sneakerhead? Spoil them and get them the pair of shoes they’ve been eyeing up for awhile.
4. AFTER ALL THIS TIME
Does he need a new watch or mentioned wanting one? Now is the time!
I love how financially versatile this one is, it could be an apple watch or you could pick up a snazzy (but cheaper) one from the department store!
5. TIME WITHOUT YOU IS TIME WASTED
Know his favorite drinks? Give them to him for a gift! I love how these are in a heart shaped box.
6. BE {ER} MINE
Another boozy one, and a simple one, too!

FOR HER
My girl friends and I die over handmade gifts, no matter who they’re from. These DIY Valentine’s Day gifts for her are a must!
1. VALENTINE’S DAY GIFT BASKET
You’ve probably seen the Boo Basket trend on TikTok…this is the same thing with a Valentine’s twist! This gift basket inspo is full of treats and love puns.
2. DATE NIGHT IDEA JAR
This DIY gift idea is useful beyond Valentine’s Day! All you need to do is write date ideas on popsicle sticks, stick it in a jar, and pull one out when you need inspo!
3. CANDY HEART BOUQUET
Flowers are a classic gift, why not get creative with this cute assortment?
Kids and their families will especially love this, someone always forgets the essentials!
4. CUTE BOTTLE DECOR
Decor is always a cute gift, especially when hand made!
If you can’t find a white bottle, spray paint a different colored one, or ideally roll white paint inside of a clear bottle – it’ll look really nice!
5. HEART ORNAMENT WREATH
How adorable is this?? Plus, I bet it is not nearly as hard as it seems to make yourself!
6. SCRABBLE PICTURE FRAME
Find an old game of scrabble at a thrift shop to give this one some character!
Don’t be afraid to get creative and spell out whatever you want. I thought both of your names (if they connect) would be a very cute idea!
