Our love should be expressed each and every day, but once a year cupid comes around to give us an extra little nudge. It can be difficult to find the right gift to express how you feel about someone. There are the usual suspects; flowers, chocolates and cute little stuffed animals holding hearts… If you want to get away from the traditional gifts you’ve given year after year, read on.
We have all heard that “it’s the thought that counts”, so put some effort into your gift and add a personal touch with these DIY ideas. Tell that special someone all the ways you love them by transforming a traditional deck of cards into “52 Reasons I Love You” or “52 Ways You Make Me Smile”.
Have a bunch of photos stuck in a box somewhere? Take some out and make memory “Love” blocks. Adhere photos to all but one side of the blocks and put the letter on the last side. Stack the blocks with the letters facing the same way and it spells love.
If you really want to surprise your Valentine, fill his/her room with a balloon for each year/month you have been together. That’s not all though; tie a memory from each year/month to the bottom of each balloon. Turn this into a proposal by walking in after she has read all the memories with a balloon that has “Will you marry me” tied to it. When the time is right, drop to one knee with a ring in hand.
Complement these DIY ideas with a little extra bling from Harry Ritchie’s, like a diamond heart pendant gift box with handmade Italian chocolates or an Infinite Love pendant. If you are ready to make the leap, opt for the pure sparkle from a ring in our extensive bridal collection.
