This Valentine’s Day, why not take a really predictable gift (chocolate) and make it really special? Buy regular packaged chocolates or other sweet treats and remove the plastic overcovering. Take off the cover/top and do a little giftwrap job on it. Or take strips of pretty paper and tape them around the package with double-sided tape. A little ribbon pretties it up even more. |
| Pick up a few king-size candy bars and remove the paper wrapper only (leave the foil). Wrap with precut scrapbook paper and add embellishments. Who wouldn’t appreciate the extra effort put into this thrifty gift? |  |

You could even write a love note on the inside of your paper wrapper! How romantic is that? |
| Now, this is super easy – write sweet phrases on paper circles and place them beneath each chocolate in their individual wrappers. Now your gift’s recipient gets a little surprise AFTER eating each chocolate treat. In this picture, the idea was to write down all the different reasons you love someone. |  |
Who knew a quick trip to Walgreen’s could produce unique and thrifty gifts?

Kristie,
You strike me as someone who would actually take the time to make such beautiful things. I wish I could. My intentions are always good!
