DIY Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for the Non-Crafty

If your crafting skills are seriously lacking, consider buying a unique handmade gift to give to your loved one. Their Valentine's Day present will still be thoughtful, authentic and handmade, but you won't have to spend frustrating hours trying to craft something yourself.

For the best selection, variety and quality in homemade gifts, we suggest Etsy. Either browse for something that catches your eye, or consider these thoughtful, handmade Valentine's Day gift ideas:

Handwritten & Hand Painted Love Letter

You provide the sentiments, and an expert calligrapher & artist pens the words and picture onto a stunning keepsake love letter. Extra points for buying a frame for your loved one to forever commemorate your affections after they open the letter.

Original Papercut Art

The ancient art of paper cutting has taken on a modern twist with beautiful black and white mats of romantic images. If you really want to impress your loved one, find an Etsy seller who creates custom paper cuts and send in a favorite image of you and your significant other for them to create a paper cut from your likeness.

Vintage Handmade Jewelry

A vintage lock and key necklace is a beautiful way of letting your loved one know that they hold the key to your heart. Plus, Etsy has so many different styles and types to choose from that it's easy finding the right gift regardless of your budget.
