00:07Hey everyone, it's Lucy Fink.
00:09Happy Valentine's Day!
00:10We all know it's super nice to give someone a gift that you bought for them,
00:14but what's even nicer is giving someone a gift that you hand-made.
00:17So here are six DIY gift ideas for this Valentine's Day.
00:21DIY gift number one.
00:22You might already be gifting a wine bottle to your significant other on Valentine's Day,
00:26so why not kick it up a notch and decorate it?
00:29DIY wine bottles are such a nice way to show that you really put time and thought into the gift.
00:33It might not be perfect, but you made it, and that's all that matters.
00:38Number two, DIY gifts by the hour.
00:41This gift is perfect to keep your partner guessing and also to keep them engaged in the gift all day.
00:45I put time stamps on these envelopes and put little secret gifts inside.
00:49Things like breakfast in bed, a massage token, all leading up to 7pm, sealed with a kiss.
00:55Let's see what we got.
01:01Movie tickets!
01:02Yeah!
01:03And just like that, a thoughtful gift that lasted all day.
01:07Gift idea number three.
01:09Instead of taking your partner to eat at his or her favorite dessert place,
01:12why not spend Valentine's night at home with a DIY dessert kit?
01:16Here I have root beer, vanilla ice cream, and two jars to make DIY root beer floats.
01:26Whoa, this is like a science experiment.
01:32That's pretty.
01:34Gift number four, a DIY flip book.
01:37This gift is not only fun to make, but it can also send your partner a secret message.
01:41All you have to do is take a series of photos of yourself doing something.
01:45I held up I, then heart, then you.
01:48Took a whole bunch of photos, cut them out, put binding with a ribbon,
01:52and then when you flip through them, it's like a little stop motion animation sharing your message.
01:57Gift number five, outdoor movies indoors.
02:01All you need for this is some blankets, pillows, and a nice little pocket projector.
02:05A blank white wall, project your favorite movie up, and cozy up inside.
02:11Gift number six, sometimes it's nice to just tell your partner how you feel,
02:17other times it's nice to sing it.
02:22Valentine's Day comes once a year,
02:24and I love you so I have no fear.
02:27I will never be alone,
02:30because my boyfriend's at my home.
02:34At my home.
02:39And those are my six DIY gift ideas for this Valentine's Day.
02:43I hope you like them.
