5 Jar Mini Body Frosting Gift Crate
Valentine’s Day is the perfect holiday to show the people in your life how much you care for them. Whether it’s through cards, flowers, chocolates, or another way, gifts on Valentine’s Day are a wonderful form of expression. Here are five excellent gift ideas for valentines day:
1. Candles and Shower gifts. Shower and bath sets are a perfect Valentine’s gift idea for both men and women. If you’re looking for a different way to spend time together on the most romantic day of the year why not buy some great candles and bath items and spend some quality time together in the bubbles.
2. Girls love jewelry, so for the little girls in your life, try making a cute heart shaped Valentine’s Day themed necklace. You can find little bottles shaped like hearts with bubbles or perfume in them, attached to a necklace at many craft stores. Apply your own heart to the center of the pendant and write any phrase you like such as “sweet one” or “I love you”. They look adorable and have a nice custom touch when you create the heart label yourself.
3. Trinket and jewelry boxes are a Valentine’s Day favorite. Spruce up an old tin by adding ribbon and printed phrases. Glue the ribbon around the edge of the tin, and use scrapbook or printed paper to apply to the top. Finish it off with some glitter and a pink ribbon, and you have a nice customized box that she’ll love to put her jewelry or other trinkets in.
4. Handmade jewelry is another sentimental Valentine’s favorite. Make pins using candy molds shaped like hearts and plaster of Paris. Mix the plaster well and pour it into the candy molds, and insert a small pin. When it’s dry, remove it from the mold and paint it. Apply a clear glaze or glazing spray to give it a finished look and to protect the pin. You now have a beautiful home made piece of jewelry that’s straight from the heart.
5. One of the most thoughtful Valentine’s Day gifts is something called “Daily Love.” Simply cut out small paper hearts using construction or sketch paper in different Valentine’s Day colors. Then, write something on each heart that tells the other person why or how much you love them. Put the small hearts in a jar or a nice box, and your loved one can pull one out each day to be reminded of just how much you truly love and care for them.
6. Body Paint or Body Chocolate. If you’re looking for a more sensual or passionate gift then look no further than body paint. They make a great gift idea if you’re trying to find a gift that you and your special someone can enjoy together.
7. Popcorn and a movie. If your budget won’t stretch to dinner out on Valentine’s Day why not buy a great romantic movie, cook up a bucket of popcorn and snuggle up together on the couch.

Chocolates Bring Back Childhood Memories
For a great majority of people, they have stored somewhere in their memory remembrances of their favorite foods, tastes, aromas and flavors from their childhood meal times, childhood treats and gourmet gift baskets .
Something as simple as smelling a batch of fresh-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookies can be enough to bring any number of happy memories of treasured times with family and friends flooding back and momentarily conveying them back to their younger days.
Indeed, it is no mistake that one would associate wonderful memories of youth and carefree times with the warm, inviting aromas that are part of the experience of enjoying cookies made with chocolate chips that are fresh out of the oven. This is an experience common to so many children, of so many generations, and is an experience that seems to embody many aspects of childhood for so many people.
The amazing fragrance of chocolate chip cookies, as the dough warms up and slowly turns a golden brown making the dark chocolate chip cookies lose their unique shape and meld into pools of chocolate, can serve to spark memories and bring them back to life.
Who doesn’t remember the incredible feeling of excitement while watching mom finish mixing the cookie dough batter, hoping that she’ll add some extra dark or even white chocolate chips, more than the recipe calls for, and add some of those wonderful, chopped nuts as well? Maybe the memory that rushes back is that of the anticipation that strikes once the pan of cookies has been carefully placed in the oven.
As a child, how many times did you push the little white button on the oven that triggered the light, allowing you to see the progression of those cookies as they swelled and spread across the pan, inching toward each other? No doubt you could already feel that cookie in your hand, still so warm that it wasn’t firm enough to hold its shape and just the perfect temperature to simply dissolve the moment you took your first bite.
Often, people have wonderful memories of working alongside mom in the kitchen to whip up a batch of special Christmas cookies to be left as a treat for Santa, to say thank you and to give him a boost of energy. Others have memories of coming home after school and knowing the instant they opened the door and were greeted by a promising perfume of warm cookies that a special treat would be their reward for finishing their homework quickly.
Even though the world is filled with an almost countless array of incredible chocolate treats, from boxed chocolates to truffles to gourmet chocolate treasures, for a great many people who love boxed chocolates, there is just nothing else that compares to a warm and soft chocolate chip cookie that has just come out of the oven.
These delightful cookie treats
are not only chock full of the requisite chips, but often also contain nuts and other additional ingredients, which makes them even more special, plus a heaping portion of cherished times and special occasions remembered.
