DH and I are getting the weekend to ourselves - especially nice since Baby #4 is due in just 5 more weeks. We aren't doing anything big for Valentine's Day because of the weekend, but I wanted to do a little something for him. I came across this terrific idea of using a deck of cards: Deck of Cards Reasons Why I Love You.
I thought for sure I had an extra deck of cards around the house, but nope - my decluttering session got rid of them. I found a box of print-it-yourself business cards. I first printed the pink swirl design that I got here on the front and back of the cards. Then I typed up 52 reasons I love him (one per card). A hole punch and piece of ribbon later, I had my own little stack of cards to give to DH. I also made a little bag to hold the cards.
You can view the booklet here.
And a page from the booklet here.
And finally the simple bag is here.
Now, if I would have had more time or thought about it sooner, I know you can order blank printable playing cards - I would have liked to have done that and then had them laminated.

One other cute idea I found is a candy bar bouquet - like one seen here. It seems like this would be a great DIY project. I'd securely tape long wooden skewers to the backs of the candy bar and stick the other end in styrofoam (placed in a pot or vase) - add some colored tissue paper for filler. Not sure if I'll get around to this idea, but I like it better than just handing over a bag of Snickers or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to DH.
