Time surely does fly, it seemed only yesterday I was gathering inspiration for last years Valentines post and here it is again but this time I have found some fresh inspiration. I think the most important thing about Valentines day is that we show love and care, it shouldn't be about spending lots of money, just spending time with the one you love. A candlelit dinner at home and some pretty flowers are suffice for me but if you want to make it a little more special, maybe you will be inspired by some of the lovely ideas below. I also believe it should be about spreading the love. Maybe you don't have a Valentine, but a great group of girlfriends you could host a Valentines lunch for. Or maybe you can extend some love and kindness towards someone elderly or alone. Creating something hand made makes it special and I believe means so much more than something store bought. I still have the home made cards my boys gave me when they were little telling me how much they loved me on Valentines day, so spread a little home made love...

OMG! The donuts, have you ever seen such lovely looking donuts!? I wouldn't be able to eat them they're so pretty! I want to put hearts on all of my keys! Great ideas!
ReplyDeleteI must admit the donuts were the first to catch my eye, I am sadly gluten intolerant, would love a recipe for gluten free donuts. These looked just so pretty.

Gorgeous ideas. I love the donuts one! My eldest daughter has asked if I'll help her bake something special for her Dad for Valentines Day - so cute :) I got all the ingredients today, can't wait. x
ReplyDeleteDon't forget you can print out the donut labels Vic. Whatever you make I am sure it will be special. I am off shortly to grab some last minute ingredients to make some pretty Valentines chocolate bark.
