DIY: Valentine's Day Quick Gifts - Part Two

Clever, Inexpensive and Super Easy! Hidden Hearts - for Valentines Day and Beyond.


This has been my favorite go-to Valentines "gift" for years!  It's so easy and so sweet. It amounts to three steps.  

1: Cut hearts out of any paper you like. 
(You can buy special paper or use an assortment of whatever you find around they house; construction paper, wrapping paper, book pages, magazine pages, newspaper inserts with pretty fruit, even the inside of business window envelopes often have really cool patterns inside.)

2: Write a sweet note on each heart. 
Simple or complex. Romantic or platonic. Just a little "hi" on a heart.

3: Hide them where the person will find them... eventually. 
Of course, it's nice to hide 10 or 15 that they will find on Valentine's day, but it's nice to hide them in unusual and rarely visited spots that they will find 6 months down the road.

** The only catch is that the recipient should be someone that you know fairly well and have easy, LEGAL access to their belongings and that won't be weirded-out by you putting something in their underwear drawer. Right? Right.

I would love to hear where you decide to hide your hearts!  Let me know if you try this one and tell me how it went...It's always been a winner for me.  You?
