Do-it-yourself Valentine's Day sites

With Valentine's Day literally just around the corner - read my lips guys, it's THIS THURSDAY - you don't have too much time left to think of what you want to do or purchase or plan. So, to help make things easy, Karen at Thrifty Mommy has taken her own precious time and scoured the WWW in search of neat, fun, and cheap Valentine's Day ideas.

She has a list of 50 sites that give you the how-to's for crafts, printables, recipes, and gifts. I've checked most of them out, and while I had problems with some of the links, most of them are pretty neat. There's things that kids can do, things you could do to have a sweet, cute gift, or more romantic ideas if you want to spend more time. I especially liked the felt fortune cookie idea.

The recipes are equally varied. There are recipes ranging from cookies, rice crispie treats - heart shaped of course, dessert pizza, all the way to an Italian Feast and Beef Wellington for two!

There's also an A-Z do-it-yourself gift site that I particularly liked. Ecobites is a site that has taken the alphabet and come up with at least one gift idea for each letter of the alphabet. They're pretty much all something you can do yourself, with a few exceptions, but the ideas are really neat!

And, for those of us having trouble with gift ideas, there's even a link for "How to Pick a Perfect Gift" - which gives some pretty good tips as well as a few do's and don'ts. (like DON'T forget Valentine's day!)

So, take a few minutes and peruse her list - hopefully you'll find a perfect idea to fit your Valentine - and remember, it's the thought that counts - just be sure to put some thought into it!
