Flowers and a heart-shaped box of candy are the traditional gifts for Valentine’s Day. While there’s nothing wrong with that, let’s see if we can find more creative ways to express love.
Floral-Themed Gifts:
Rose Cake Pops
Cake pops are often dipped in chocolate and covered with sprinkles. In the photo above, the rich chocolate cake center was wrapped in modeling chocolate, creating edible roses.
Glass Flowers
Each delicate petal in this stunning centerpiece was skillfully handcrafted with glass.
Floral Digital Art
Digital flowers provide infinite possibilities. A frame is the perfect finishing touch.
Fresh-Cut Rose Lilies Centerpiece
Are you familiar with rose lilies? These colorful, fragrant blooms have that wow-factor and are much less expensive than roses.
LED Floral Garden Lights
No green thumb is required for these pretty blooms. When the sun goes down, imagine the surprise of seeing a magical glowing flower garden.
Floral Painted Glass
One of the challenges of stained glass is working with sharp wire and glass, causing cuts in your hands. With painted glass, the problem is solved. You can have the look of genuine stained glass and none of the pain. Yeah!
Silk Chrysanthemums Centerpiece
Silk flowers have come a long way. These fool-the-eye chrysanthemums will look divine long after the typical roses have faded away.
Heart-Themed Gifts:
Hand Blown Glass Heart
Glass blowing is an age-old art, and each is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
Nature’s Valentines Photography
Heart shapes appear everywhere in nature, including seashells, rocks, and animals too.
Twig Heart Wall Art
Whether you prefer hiking through a forest or walking on the beach, the treasures you collect along the way can be incorporated into unique and meaningful gifts.
Glass Mosaic Heart
Mosaic art can be created with glass, ceramic tiles, stones, seashells, etc. These intricate designs adorn walls, furniture, jewelry, or anything else you imagine.
Wood & Glass Heart Box
Painted, stained or decorated wood crafts make great gifts.
Papercraft 3D Wall Art
Wall art, scrapbooking, and origami fall under the papercraft category. There was a time when paper was limited to matte or gloss finish. Today, there are metallic, iridescent, painted, and decorative papers to bring your design to life.
Writing:
Musical Composition
Compose an original song.
Calligraphy
Heart-felt words of love are sure to be appreciated.
Write Poetry
Whether you write a single poem or a book, sharing your creative writing makes a thoughtful, memorable gift.
Miscellaneous Gifts:
Paper Sculpture
If paper could make a wish, I suppose becoming a sculpture would be the ultimate dream come true. If you prefer digital art, a similar sculptural effect can be achieved using AI software.
Take a Class
Instead of flowers or candy, you and your loved one could take a class in flower arranging or candy making. As an alternative to expensive restaurants, learn how to cook a delicious dinner and mouthwatering dessert. Spending time together is a gift too.
