  15. Hmm....best Valentine's gift? Gee, most years I don't even get a card! I guess I'll have to go back to my childhood. I remember getting a card and a small gift but nothing that I really remember. Maybe an Avon perfume bottle with hearts on it.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I like making a special Valentine's dessert.

    ReplyDelete
  17. We have birthdays all around Valentine's Day - so those kind of take priority and we downplay the Valentines... I guess the best then would be my son's birth - though he was a bit delayed beyond the 14th.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I always make a special dinner for Valentines Day!

    ReplyDelete
  19. The first Valentines mini quilt for my first grandchild.

    ReplyDelete
  20. LOVE that pic - it should be a card! Hmmm, I gave my niece an adorable handmade pink bag with a Valentine's stuffed animal & candy several years back. She loves stuffed animals and who doesn't like candy? I think it was her favorite!

    ReplyDelete
  21. We don't typically celebrate Valentines dinner so no great gifts are coming to mind right now. However, this year may be the best gift because I'm expecting on the 18th. Somehow I have a feeling this will be a valentine's baby! I definitely won't be able to top that gift!

  25. Absolutely, the picture is just the cutest! If it's not on a card it should be, in the least, displayed as a poster on your wall!
    Don't really remember any one gift as 'special'. I just love that my husband loves me. :)

    ReplyDelete
  48. The first Valentines day that my now husband and I were together I made him a full Valentine's breakfast with waffles and a baked apple with raspberries and had a home-made card for him and chocolates. I guess it doesn't sound like a "best" ever present, but it stands out in my mind because we were just so happy and appreciative of what we each did for each other.

    ReplyDelete
  49. We don't play up Vday too much around here, but it will probably be this year (and probably today, USPS willing...LOL) I made my daughter a Vday wall hanging for her dorm room 1900 miles away.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Super cute tote! Wow, I am not sure I've ever given or received a 'best' valentine's gift! I have made a few special dinners and special desserts, and once sewed a down vest as a gift, but none of my efforts 'wow-ed' the recipients, so I guess I'd better keep trying! :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. My daughter made me a card last year with the help of my mom, it was twice as special coming from both of them.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Last year I made a photo book for my husband. It had lots of old pictures of trips we had taken, our son when he was young, etc. We've been together over 25 years so there were lots of great memories to include in the book. It was fun making the book too -- loved looking through all those old pictures!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Such a pretty tote. One cannot have enough totes ever. Thank you.

    I have a number of gifts I've given that I was super excited to give. The one that comes to mind right this second however, is a poem that I wrote for my husband that I framed and gave to him. He loved it and that is still hanging on the wall right next to his desk in our living room.

    ReplyDelete
  59. The best Valentines day gift I've ever given was a little pillow with my daughters name appliqued on it. It was my first attempt at such a thing - looked terrible - but 5 years later, she still keeps it on her bed with her! It makes me happy that even a little girl can appreciate a gift from the heart!!

    Great bag!! I can't wait to make one!

  66. The best Valentine's gift I have ever given was to my then 13 year old daughter. She was having problems at school with being teased about all kinds of things. I ordered a bouquet of flowers, a teddy bear, and some candy and had it delivered to her at the school in front of everyone. She then became the "cool" girl for a while and the teasing stopped.

  83. Don't know about giving, but I received something really nice and practical last year.

What a welcome home!

  104. I think the best Valentine gift I have ever given was a homemade steak dinner, with all the sides, and a bottle of wine, along with one of the first movies we went to see as a couple (it inspired our first kiss and turned us from just friends to a couple).

    ReplyDelete
  105. Last year I made this DELICIOUS popcorn drizzled in chocolate and cinnamon and then we gave it to my kids' teachers. I have to say that was one of the best gifts I've given, 'cause I kinda didn't want to give it, but eat it all myself. And they say the best gifts are the ones you want to keep, right? ;)

  113. Hi,
    The best Valentine I've ever GIVEN is a little quilt I made 5 years ago for my husband. It's a red heart appliqued to a white background with red borders. What's special about this is that I stitched white beads on the heart to spell "LOVE." Very simple, which is how he loves to live life...simply. Also, that year we celebrated our 20th anniversary on Feb.17th so I wanted all of that year's gifts to be very special. Now, our 25th anniversary is this Feb. 17th and I don't have a clue what to do for that or for Valentine's Day!! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  114. The best gift I have given is a paper cutting of an antique valentine that I made for a friend.

  126. Such a cute bag! We haven't really been huge on Valentine's gifts, but this year, for the 14 days leading up to Valentine's, I'm hiding a kid's Scooby Doo valentine for my husband somewhere in the house, with a Reese's peanut butter heart attached to it. On the card I write one reason why I love him. It's not much, but he sure is enjoying finding those notes! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  127. Hmmm... We're not incredibly big on Valentines Day around here. However, when I was a preteen, I stayed home to babysit my siblings while Mom and Dad went on a date. That's a pretty good gift, isn't it?
