Homemade Sweet Treats For Your Special Someone
We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.
Boxed chocolates and candy hearts are the usual suspects for Valentine's Day gifts. With February 14th just around the corner, perhaps you're thinking of more personal ways to woo loved ones this year. Homemade gifts not only help you save money, but also add a thoughtful touch to that special something for your sweetheart. Using something as simple and beautiful as a mason jar (we suggest the Purple Heritage Collection for Valentine's gifts, or even the clear mason jar) as the vessel for your gift can be the perfect way to show that you put in just a little more time and effort this year. Below are a few loving gift ideas for your Valentine:
Reed Diffuser Kit
Know your special someone's favorite scent? Make him or her a personalized Reed Diffuser Kit. With a pint size jar, reed diffuser base (which is the basis for any diffuser), and your choice of fragrance oil, this kit takes only minutes to assemble. Add the finishing touches by tying ribbon and a gift tag or love note around the lid.

Distressed Heart Jars
Give a jar of hearts! A classic quart size mason jar can be transformed into a beautifully distressed pink-and-red-striped container for your valentine's favorite candy. Paint the jar in the colors of your choice, then use a toothpick to add a smattering of hand painted hearts. Carry the theme through and fill with candy hearts or a chocolate treat of your choice!
