'Where We Met' Map by @LexisShantell
Do you remember where you first saw your significant other? We're sure that moment is engraved in your head, so why not frame it as well? Simply print out a map with the rough location of your first meeting. You can be fancy and write details on the map using a program like Canva, or you just mark the exact spot by painting a heart on it. Frame the map and voila—immortalized!

Does your darling like fairytales or tea? A DIY card that not only looks cool but can also hold a tea bag in their favorite flavor is the perfect gift.
@katharina_tarta_crafts I am curious: Who knew about this tea and is it available in other countries as well? 😂 Anyway, I really hope you liked this cut and easy little Valentines gift idea #giftforhim #diyvalentines #cardmaking ♬ Originalton – KTCrafts
