What is a creative gift for Valentines Day?
My boyfriend lives in another state and I will get to see him for the weekend of Valentines Day but I have no idea what to do or give him. He is not a present person so something personal that I make is really the only thing that he would enjoy (for example for Christmas I sneaked a copy of our favourite photo of us together into his wallet, he loved it). Obviously I can’t do that again and I want to do something meaningful and nice.
