All you need are glass candle holders, candles, and some paper lace dollies. Cut dollies, glue to holders and volia!

Give a bouquet of love.

Skip overpriced store-bought bouquets, and follow these simple steps to personalize a valentine nosegay. Gather two or three stems in your hand (compact blooms like roses and ranunculus work best); add flowers one by one until you reach the size you want. Wrap a rubber band around the stems to hold — though not crush — them; trim stems. Tie with a ribbon, wrapping it completely around stems, then doubling back to tie a bow. The larger the bouquet, the wider the ribbon should be; usually 1 to 2 1/2 inches works best.
 
Bake some love in each bite.

Homemade confections say, "I love you...a lot." Use any recipe to create some yummy goodies Then, nestle the goodies in an empty clear plastic six- or 12-egg carton, cutting out the inner plastic flap and cushioning treats with mini-cupcake liners. Add a valentine note under the lid using double-sided tape, and wrap with festive ribbon.

What Valentine goodies are you looking for or giving to your loved ones this year?
