00:00Just imagine, you wake up and realize it's Valentine's Day.
00:04The love of your life will be here in 20 minutes,
00:07and you only have $1 to get the perfect gift.
00:10What should you do?
00:11Well, you can spend 10 minutes watching these tips,
00:15and then you'll have 10 more minutes to use one of them.
00:18Let's start.
00:19Grab a regular deck of cards and 52 sheets of paper of a matching size.
00:24The name of this deck will be 52 Reasons Why I Love You.
00:28Use your imagination to make a list of 52 short confessions.
00:32Write them by hand, or print them out and glue the sheets to the cards.
00:36Voila!
00:37Your better half will definitely enjoy shuffling this deck,
00:40and all the cards will feel equally lucky.
00:43You can fill the deck not only with confessions, but also with romantic activities.
00:48It can be a picnic on the roof, hiking in the mountains,
00:51or going shopping and choosing the ugliest outfits for each other, to name a few.
00:55If you ever run out of date ideas in the future,
00:58just pull out one of the cards, and do whatever it says.
01:02If you don't have a card deck at hand, you can still use the previous idea,
01:06but you'll need a jar or a box.
01:08Decorate a glass jar to your taste, and name it 100 Reasons Why I Love You,
01:13or 1,000, if you can handle that many.
01:16Write all of these reasons down on small sheets of paper, and put them in the jar.
01:20You can either fold them, or roll them into cute little tubes, and tie them with a ribbon.
01:26If you want to divide your love notes into categories, use colored paper.
01:30Purple for inspirational quotes, pink for dreams, yellow for compliments, blue for jokes, and so on.
01:37Forever Alone is your second name, and you're proud of it?
01:40No worries, you can still use this idea to make a gift for yourself.
01:44Collect all the reasons why you're awesome and lovable,
01:47and put them in a self-love jar to get a splash of inspiration each time you need it.
01:52It's cheaper than fortune cookies anyway.
01:55And speaking of fortune cookies, they're very affordable and pretty easy to make.
02:00To cook 10 servings, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit,
02:05and write down your love messages on small sheets of paper.
02:08Whisk two egg whites, and then add half a cup of flour and the same amount of sugar.
02:12Add one pinch of salt and red food coloring if you want your cookies to match the occasion.
02:18Stir the batter using a spatula until it turns paste-like.
02:22Then slowly add three tablespoons of water until the batter is smooth.
02:26Now it's time to bake.
02:28Place one tablespoon of the batter onto a silpat-lined baking sheet and form a three-inch wide circle.
02:35Repeat with the other cookies.
02:37Try to make them as similar as possible.
02:39Bake until the edges become golden brown.
02:41This will take about eight minutes.
02:43Use a spatula to take the cookies out of the oven.
02:46They will still be soft enough for you to put your messages inside.
02:49Give them a fortune cookie shape, just like this.
02:52And don't forget to place the folded cookies into a mini muffin pan to cool down.
02:57Otherwise, they're gonna lose their shape.
02:59If you and your partner are restless travelers, take a look at this amazing DIY project.
03:04All you need is to print out a Google map of your city, country, or even the world.
03:09Stick it on a piece of cardboard and frame it.
03:12Now you can pin all the places where you've been together.
03:15Or you can make little holes in the map to highlight your special places with string lights.
03:19This will decorate the room and inspire both of you for new adventures.
03:25This scratch-up DIY card can make a good gift for any occasion.
03:29But since we're talking about romance, you can customize your love lottery ticket depending on your partner's tastes.
03:35To complete this project, prepare an A5 card and draw several identical hearts on it.
03:41It can be any other shape if you don't like hearts for some reason.
03:44Then fill each section with a short message advertising the prize.
03:48It can be anything.
03:49Cooking dinner, foot massage, or even cleaning the entire house for the whole year.
03:56When this part is complete, cover the messages with a white crayon.
04:00This will act as a barrier between your messages and the layer that's gonna be on top.
04:05Now mix acrylic paint with an equal amount of dish soap.
04:09Use a brush to cover your messages.
04:11Let the paint dry and make sure the writing doesn't show through.
04:14The soap will make the process of scratching the paint away much easier.
04:18Now you can give it to your valentine with a coin to scratch the paint away.
04:23Very romantic and affordable.
04:26If you're ready to complete more than one task, check out this DIY.
04:31Prepare a list of obligations.
04:33Breakfast in bed, writing a love song, and so on.
04:36Then print all these options out and cut them like coupons.
04:40If you're not skilled enough to make a layout on your own, Google will help you find printable love coupons
04:45very quickly.
04:46Or you can draw your coupons by hand.
04:49And don't forget to put an expiration date on each coupon.
04:52Imagine your ex-partner asking you to complete the task 30 years later.
04:57It's gonna be pretty awkward.
05:03If your significant other wants to have a pet and is ready to pursue this dream,
05:08you can buy a bowl, a collar, or any other accessory and take your partner to an animal shelter to
05:14get your new fluffy friend.
05:15Having a pet together is a new level of commitment and a big decision to make.
05:20That's why adopting one on Valentine's Day makes it even more romantic.
05:24But of course, try to make sure your partner really wants it.
05:28If you don't have a single dollar in your pocket, but you love music and have some blank envelopes, paper,
05:34and a pen,
05:35this option is definitely for you.
05:37Use any music platform you like to make a special playlist of songs that remind you of your Valentine.
05:43Write down the names of the songs on each envelope.
05:46You can look through the lyrics of each song, choose the phrases that touch your heart the most,
05:50and add these quotes to your envelopes as well.
05:53Then write brief note cards explaining why your significant other reminds you of this song.
05:59Put the note cards inside the envelopes, seal them, add cute decorations, and present this pile to your Valentine.
06:05Don't forget to send the link to the playlist so your partner can listen to these songs anytime.
06:12And if you happen to be a music genius, why not write your own love song?
06:16Can you accomplish this task in 10 minutes?
06:19Thankfully, modern technologies allow us to make cute stickers with zero drawing skills and zero budget.
06:25A romantic couple sticker with emoji faces of you and your partner will make a great gift, right?
06:30Feel free to add bubbles with jokes and love messages only the two of you understand.
06:35There are tons of detailed tutorials on YouTube on how to do this.
06:40When the image is ready, you can print it out on stickers, mugs, t-shirts, and many other things, depending
06:46on your budget.
06:47Maybe your better half prefers academic arts.
06:50If so, consider printing your emoji faces on a canvas and framing it like an oil portrait.
06:55If your dream is to spend some quality time together in the middle of nowhere, the next option is definitely
07:01for you.
07:02You've probably heard that you can find anything on the internet, even a house for $1.
07:07Well, that's true.
07:09From time to time, small remote villages all over the world announce special programs to boost the decreasing population in
07:16the area.
07:17They offer people to purchase a house or a piece of land for a symbolic price of $1 or even
07:23take it for free.
07:25But it's not that simple.
07:26You have to meet the requirements, of course.
07:29Typically, the buyers are supposed to move into their new property or renovate the house using their own money.
07:34At the same time, they should maintain the authenticity of the local architecture.
07:38Some European countries and Japanese villages publish such announcements pretty often, so keep your ears open.
07:45Too risky for a gift?
07:47I agree.
07:48But you don't have to grab the property right away without doing any research or discussing it with your partner.
07:54You can find a place you like among the advertised lots, a small cottage in France, or a cabin in
08:00Italy, for example.
08:01Then print out this picture, attach $1 to it, and frame the whole thing.
08:06Who knows? Maybe this gift will become the first step on the way to your dream home.
08:11By the way, you can use these tips to, let's say, congratulate your friend on their birthday.
08:16All you need to do is adapt these ideas to the occasion.
08:21What was the most ridiculous gift you've ever been given?
08:25These internet users have shared the most striking gifts they've ever received.
08:30This Redditor shared a gift certificate their grandpa got for their dad.
08:35Apparently, he was very pleased with himself, and I totally agree.
08:39The pinned note with shopping tips is the cherry on top.
08:43And this one got an Apple Watch as an early Valentine's Day gift.
08:48If you're on a budget, you could get your loved one who's an Apple fan something cheaper but just as
08:53cool.
08:54For example, this book couch, that's a creative iPad stand you can find on Amazon.
09:00Well, this Redditor received Eggo Waffles underwear, so that's how far ridiculous creativity can go.
09:07I wonder if Eggo's knows that they have a crazy fan club.
09:11The next one is a true gem.
09:14Siblings had dinner in a restaurant, but they didn't have the cash to leave for the waiter, so they left
09:19the waiter an Amazon gift card instead.
09:22People on the internet can't decide if it's amazing or disrespectful, but the waitress was happy and shared it on
09:29her social media.
09:30Well, hopefully she used it for something cool.
09:33For example, like this neck massager, a true gem after a tiring day.
09:38A similar situation happened to a Redditor in the office.
09:42Everyone got drinks for the holiday, and since he wasn't yet 21 years old, he got an Amazon gift card
09:49and stayed very pleased with the gift.
09:52And this is the gift a 30-year-old man got from co-workers on his birthday.
09:57In his own words, they're too good to me.
10:00A group of friends ordered a $150 tiger rug as their friend's birthday present.
10:06No one checked the size, so here's what they got.
10:10A guy learned that Walmart can print anything on a blanket, so he printed his own face on one and
10:16gave it to his brother as a birthday gift.
10:18This guy right here got an amazing painting of their Doberman Pinscher from his wife.
10:24And please don't forget to pay attention to the model himself right here.
10:29Someone got a sticker for their birthday.
10:32Apparently, they're now printing dad jokes, but I have to admit that I'm loving this one.
10:37This is the pair of special socks a Redditor got for the winter holidays.
10:42The best part is that the gift is from Grandma.
10:46This is a hoodie a guy designed and printed for his tall brother.
10:50A hoodie that can answer annoying questions for him.
10:54This person made a custom Guess Who gift.
10:57And I think it's both hilarious and genius.
11:01This photo is level 9 of the Shirtception series.
11:04A guy gets a shirt with a photo of him wearing the previous year's shirt with the same image.
11:11A weird gift your dad didn't know he needed.
11:14A battery organizer.
11:16Imagine all that power you get.
11:17And it's double-sided.
11:20Someone got an emergency lasagna as a gift.
11:25A Redditor shared a photo of a cup he received as a gift from his boss.
11:29OP reports that neither his name nor last name starts with a T.
11:34Well, for us, it's obvious.
11:35It's a teacup.
11:38Well, this is what another Redditor got from their sister.
11:41A box and a printed meme.
11:43Nothing wrong with that.
11:44It's the attention that matters.
11:46And a bit of creativity, too.
11:49This is what a guy got from his wife as a wedding gift.
11:52Might not be a typical gift a grown man gets,
11:55but you're never too old for Lego.
11:57And the man is on cloud 9.
11:59I guess this is when you know she is the one.
12:04This little girl got a pack of paper as a gift
12:06after stealing her parents' paper for months.
12:10The next Redditor shared the photo of their wife
12:12wearing her birthday gift from them.
12:14I bet the OP is very pleased with themselves,
12:17but the wife, definitely not as much.
12:20Another couple got a bread maker as a wedding gift,
12:23called it Mr. Loaf,
12:25and sent a thank you note to the people
12:27who got them their favorite wedding gift.
12:30Guess what this present is?
12:32No, not a toilet.
12:34A Redditor just wrapped some other gift
12:36for their best friend as a prank.
12:38You got it right.
12:39The next part is the brilliant wrapping section.
12:42Let's see what else we've got.
12:44This Redditor is on the same team
12:46of misleading present wrappers.
12:48Here's how they wrapped a box of candy
12:50and essential oil.
12:52Every year, this Redditor and their brother
12:55exchange the hardest-to-open presents.
12:57So, this year, they wrapped their brother's gift
13:00in concrete.
13:02Luckily for the brother,
13:03it's the requested shirt and not a dozen eggs.
13:06But he may never know.
13:08A creative Redditor got tired of giving gift cards
13:11in boring envelopes.
13:13So this year, they wrapped the gift cards
13:15in papier-mâché animals that are filled with candy.
13:19This is a big present for OP's brother.
13:22Inside, there's just a $50 bill and nothing else.
13:26This guy wrapped all the presents in paper
13:28with his face on it.
13:29No need to sign the presents anymore.
13:31Your signature face says it all.
13:35This Redditor was in charge of wrapping the presents that year.
13:38And here's what the tree looked like.
13:40I guess that works after all.
13:43Look at what this guy got.
13:45Can you guess what it is?
13:46Obviously a hanger.
13:48But doesn't look very exciting.
13:49But the guy was quite lucky.
13:51There was actually real money wrapped around it too.
13:55Another crazy wrapper here.
13:57The lamp is perfume.
13:58And the chair is a sweater.
14:01This person had quite a few gifts for their girlfriend
14:04and built a whole Ferris wheel to hold them.
14:06So, a guy was away from the office
14:09and the colleagues had fun in the office cell
14:12before the winter holidays.
14:13This prank never gets old.
14:16And the best delivery award goes to these people.
14:20One of their daughter's gifts wasn't delivered to them
14:22on time for the holiday.
14:24So, now they've put it on the top of the roof
14:27waiting till their daughter notices
14:28that Santa accidentally dropped one of the gifts.
14:32Now we're moving on to sweet gifts
14:34because some of them totally melt my heart.
14:37Someone else's boyfriend who is a welder
14:40gave her a handmade red rose.
14:42Her favorite flower.
14:44And this guy 3D printed and painted a stitch
14:48as a gift for his girlfriend.
14:50This woman got a cute plush worm for her husband
14:53with a note that said,
14:55Yes, I would still love you if you were a worm.
14:57Weird but cute.
14:59And this is a box a girl painted for her brother.
15:02Beautiful and such an amazing attention to detail.
15:05A loving grandfather painted this timeless gift
15:08for his grandson's first birthday.
15:11Those are the kind of gifts that stay with you for life
15:14and the one item you take with you in case of fire.
15:17This one needs a backstory.
15:20So, back in the 70s,
15:21this Redditor and his wife needed a pair of pliers
15:24just to turn on the hot water in their bathroom.
15:27Now that they've finished their kitchen and bathroom remodels
15:31where nothing requires that kind of effort,
15:33he put the pliers behind the glass
15:35in case of emergency.
15:38A sweet gesture from a boss,
15:40another gift card,
15:41this time for Walmart.
15:43A small token of appreciation for the team
15:46and yet so heartwarming.
15:48This guy spent two nights
15:50making an owl house as a gift.
15:52A plush first resident is included.
15:54A Redditor shared that their grandma
15:57had been getting paper cuts
15:58and a mailman gifted her
16:00a ceremonial sword letter opener.
16:02One of the most thoughtful gifts there are
16:05and I need one too.
