Simple Valentines Ideas to Help Inspire You

Short of ideas this Valentines? Here are a few simple ideas to brighten up your day.

IDEA ONE: Valentines Morning Tea Table?

I often find the simple gestures are speak the loudest.  You can create something wonderful with a bit of time and care and a garden to source your inspiration.

It’s easy to go out and buy a gift but it’s joyful to spend time with the ones we love. 

IDEA TWO: DIY Valentines Pack for Under $40

What’s in the box

Personalised Mugs (click here for the full blog – coming soon)

2 mugs which I picked up from Coles and personalised using my Cricut Joy. I added a cute decorative heart line leading from one cup to the other, it is valentines day after all.

DIY Coasters (click here to see how to make them)

Believe it or not these are Tiles!! Yes, you heard that right. I was in Bunnings the other day (it’s a weekly occurrence) and I had been looking for some plywood to make the coasters but had the idea that I might be able to use tile instead. It would save me from cutting, sanding and painting and they have a lovely enamel finish. There were quite a few colour but I knew I wanted to personalise it so I opted for a simple white tile.

The kids had picked a vinyl they liked and they wanted hearts so I made it happen using my cricut Joy, I also picked up a set of surface guards from Bunnings and added them to the bottom of the tile to make them feel more like a coaster and less like a tile.

Mini Cabinet (click here for the full blog – coming soon)

I found this in the mini cabinet in the hobby section of Bunnings. I was planning to use it for something else but I thought it would be the perfect final addition to the gift pack and we could fill it with all of their favourite chocolates and coffee pods. I sprayed the mini cabinet using Dulux Chalk spray paint in white. I was planning to add a vinyl to the interior walls but decided I liked it painted and felt it would be perfect in mums pantry as it was.

I love how it turned out, we have added some lindt balls and coffee pods but you could add tea bags or biscuits or other accessories.

IDEA THREE: Valentines Cookies & Platter

Food is a lovely way to share love and show care. Taking the time to make something is a lot of fun and is budget-friendly and a lovely way to get the kids involved. 

The kids and I made some sugar cookies for their grandparents, they loved decorating them for them and found so much joy in giving them their creation.

Whatever you do for Valentines I hope you have a wonderful day x

Happy renovating
