Handmade Valentine’s Day Gift Idea ~ Chocolate Love Notes. Oh you guys, I am so excited about this Valentine!

I thought this idea was a great way to not just say I love you, but share all the things that I love about him. I wrote down things that I never have thought to tell him I love. For instance I love the way he laughs when he is with his friends. Something about it totally turns me on, and I am quite certain I have never told him. You could use anything, even a pack of gum, but I went with Hershey’s nuggets and wrapped them with scrapbook paper I cut down to size. Then using a simple running stitch, embroidered “i love…” on some muslin that I made into a little bag (you could use this tutorial, just make it smaller) to put all the chocolate love notes in. Now I just can’t decide if I should wait to give it to him, or give it to him tomorrow to count him down to the day.
