Valentine's Day is coming and even though usually I would plan something special for someone special, this year I want to surprise my co-workers and friends with something special too! Nothing says "I'm thinking about you" more than something homemade or thought out with enough time to create it.
The images I have collected from around the web are crafty enough that it wouldn't break my bank account, but it would show everyone how much they mean to me with a little surprise.
1. These stickers make me think of the girls I dress in my job, they all eat healthy and love fresh fruit at intermission. I imagine leaving an orange at their seats with a cute little sticker on it, I know they would love it. The pdf for the stickers is free on Twigandthistle.com and all you would need is sticker paper, a printer, and craft punch.
Simple and Sweet.

2. When you would walk into my childhood home, my Mom always had a candy dish filled with some type of candy ready for hands to grab. During Valentines Day my Mom always had cinnamon hearts in the candy jar. They are inexpensive and you can buy them in bulk at many candy stores. I would fill little jars with the cinnamon hearts and tie a cute red bow around, then surprise my single friends with a little love.

3. If you can sew and have a lil' change to spend you can follow the directions from Momtastic blog and make the cook/baker in your life a cute apron with hearts as pockets.

4. Nothing says Valentine's Day like chocolate, and since its so cold in the east why not serve hot chocolate with marshmallow hearts to a roommate or friend coming over for lunch? Martha Stewart is the QUEEN of D.I.Y and food recipes so she definitely needed to be included in this list.
