Splurging exorbitant gifts on Valentine’s Day sure does exemplify your generous streak, but with a self-designed or self-made gift you can be creative, experimental and whimsical too. That’s why I decided to go for creative Valentine’s Day gifts this year.
I have explored myriad DIY Valentine’s Day gadget gift ideas. Preparing these DIY gifts might take more time and efforts than buying gifts, but they are as complex as rocket science and require to professional help from technicians. The best thing about them is that these DIY (Do It Yourself) gifts will not let an anonymous gift creator take all the name and fame of creativity. I would not want a stranger to win your beloved’s heart for the design and utility of my gift. So, I decided to try these creative DIY Valentine’s Day gift alternatives to expensive, cookie-cutter Valentine’s Day gifts. You can try these following too.
Picture frame and Photo Canvas
___________________________________________________________________
A digital photo frame is not one of those expensive gadgets like iPhone 4S or LED TVs. A decent digital photo frame can be easily available within fifty US dollars and all you need to do is to grab one. Now, think of a special magical moment of you two that you recently captured in a photo or video clip. Now, insert the photos or video clip in the digital photo frame.
You can add your own strokes on the frame to make it beautiful and add your touch of love. However, if you are creating a photo canvas, then you can use a photo editing software or an online photo editing service to add canvas painting filter or effects to your photo.
Now, enlarge the photo from your ‘My Pictures’ folder using a photo printing service. A large photo canvas on his bedroom wall will glisten beautifully as the first ray of the morning will shine upon it. Wouldn’t that be a beautiful way of reminding him your love in every morning?
An uber-cool photo collage for your nerd
___________________________________________________________________
There is no chance of an ordinary photo collage that contains monotonous looking grid of photos to win your nerd’s heart. Since, he is always digging deep for out-of-the-box and uber-cool stuffs, an undistinguishable, ordinary photo collage will not appeal to him. Hence choose this creative photo collage program called Über-Collage instead of the basic photo collage tool, Windows Live Photo Gallery. As the name suggests, Über-Collage can take your photos and will create a collage in any mold that would fascinate him such as Windows icon, Apple icon, Linux icon etc. or else, you may try an animal form currency, world map etc., to cluster your photos into. This DIY project will not take more than thirty US Dollar.
At the same time, I have checked out some other DIY Valentine’s Day gift ideas such as
- Create a playlist and transfer that to your sweetheart’s MP3 player,
- Create a custom novel for him at Ustarnovels.com giving a punch of romance and suspense, just for him.
- Download coupons from coupon codes websites and create a booklet of those codes that match his type of spending
- Create a personalized Flip camera with Flip’s customizable HD cameras. You may choose from various options especially dedicated to the Valentine’s Day.
