Doing your projects is less expensive than store-bought items with higher labor and even greater patience. Having the skill is a plus, but DIYs are more about discovering how to make chocolate from scratch or knit a scarf for your special someone. The speed of completion varies per person. Frustration and numerous retakes are to be expected but do not be discouraged. You can find tutorials for soaps, clothes, paper prints, and almost everything on the internet.

A good thing about DIYs is you can incorporate the receiver’s likes and preferences into the gift.3. Skill Gift
Turn your skill into a gift. This is probably the easiest in terms of skill in the list. All you need is your brush and paint and a picture of your loved one. Compared to Do-It-Yourself projects, you bank on what you can do, be it pottery, sculpting, glass making, etc. Materials and ingredients are things you already have or can acquire easily. How fast and big the outcome would be is decided by you without the added fear of taking too long or messing it up. Turn it extraordinary by incorporating your special someone’s traits and personality. Compose an original song, poem, or book of your love story. Edit images or vlog places that are special to both of you. Explore your abilities and create something new. You might be a hidden masseur or Michelin chef.4. Money Bag
Handing straight-up cash might not look as romantic for others. Get wise by collecting grocery or store coupons to help your thrifty loved one save on bills on their next shopping trip. Search online for promo vouchers or codes for Lazada, Nike, Sephora, Adidas, etc. You can turn cash into e-cash for the latest avatar upgrade or digital buys. Identify your partner’s guilty pleasures, such as collecting Starbucks stickers. Gift them discount coupons to get them the journal they want. You can get fancy by buying gift cards for malls, spas, and restaurants. If your partner is more practical you can always give cheques or bills.5. Wish Coupon
Wish coupons come last in terms of cost, but it has the highest percentage of unpredictability. It may be simple tasks such as washing the dishes for a week or watering the plants. Or even a pass to never do a specific task. You might lose a few hairs with your partner’s outrageous requests. It takes a lot of trust between you and your beau. Your partner might test your patience. Set limits if you are not comfortable with certain things unless you are a daredevil at heart. You must be prepared for the craziest wish. Keep an open mind, a good attitude, and have fun.Delivery is Key
Gifts may cost more or less, but no gift is lesser than the other. Make the gift even more memorable by adding a little drama. Remember delivery is key. You can hang lanterns in the garage. Trace hearts on the wall with post-its. Shower your date with affirmation. It is the time of the year where you are allowed to be extra cheesy. It is not the amount or brand that makes a gift special, rather, the person who will be receiving it and the person giving it and the love and affection shared between them. Presents are one way of showing how we value and appreciate someone. Gifts are to be given without expecting anything in return. February is the month of love so freely give.
