Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

By Brooke Burgess and Lucia Nelson

Stumped on what you should get your friends for the upcoming holiday, Valentine's Day? Don't worry, because I have some creative ideas for you. Ready for some inspiration?

First, mailboxes! Just get a mini desktop mailbox and fill it with all kinds of valentines and sweet treats. You can decorate and personalize the mailbox and they are very cheap.

You might also want to try making booklets. First, take a stack of notecards, a hole-puncher, ribbon, and a pen. Make holes in the notecards using the hole-puncher. Make sure the holes are lined up with each other between the cards. On each card, write a personalized note (example: reasons why you love/like them). Now, weave the ribbon inside the holes of the cards, tying the cards together. For a finishing touch, decorate each page of the booklet.

Make Valentine’s Day smoothies!  Here’s a recipe:

Ingredients:

o   one and a half cups milk

o   one ripe banana

o   half cup pomegranate

o   one cup frozen berries

Preparation:

o   add the milk, frozen fruit, and banana to your blender

o   blend until the smoothie reaches your desired consistency
