valentine's day gift ideas for under $10

i love valentine's day.

i love the flowers & the mushy cards. i get all weepy over the jewelry commercials & i eat my weight in chocolate. 

there. i said it.

so naturally, all of my people get valentine's day gifts, including some of my best gal pals & my nephew.

today, in the spirit of giving & love, i thought i'd share some fun & inexpensive ideas for loving on your people during valentine's day! 

i picked up these cards from my girl katy of katygirl designs. the buffalo check & witty sayings inspired me to make some cuteness for my girlfriends & the special littles in my life! 

i paired katy's "you're just my type" card with journals from katie daisy that i picked up at target. i added a pen from the dollar bin at target, some sparkly heart stickers & one of my happy flags! i simply tied up the goodies with fabric ribbon & now i have two bundles ready for gifting! yay!

here's the breakdown in cost:

card: $2.50

notebook: about $3 each (similar design)

pen: 50 cents each

-----

total cost: $6 per gift

confession: i've never watched star wars...

but! my husband is a star wars addict (i'm not sure why he married me). his parents even named him after luke skywalker, people. so although i haven't joined the star wars cool club, i do appreciate the star wars references.

i found the "yoda only one for me" card from katy's shop & paired it with the star wars light saber m&m candy dispenser from hobby lobby. i made a little "may the force be with you!" tag & tied it with fabric ribbon!

kiddo approved, y'all! yay! 

here's the breakdown in cost:

card: $2.50

star wars light saber candy dispenser (including 40% off hobby lobby coupon): $3

------

total cost: $5.50

& if you're in need of a gift idea for your main squeeze, above is a fun gift idea i made for my hubby a couple of years ago for just $1. here's the link! enjoy! 

what are some fun valentine's day gifts you plan to make this year? please share!

love,
