Pictures capture some of the best moments in life and they hold many memories. Creating a sort of time capsule will be the perfect gift for any occasion. It is also a great DIY idea. All you need for this gift is a few pictures and a few arts and crafts items. You can use a book or even colorful cards. The best thing is that you can really be as creative as you like. Everyone wears t-shirts. With that said, a personalized t-shirt is not only exclusive but its stylish too. This gift you can go one of two ways. You could print out a memorable picture on a t-shirt or you could print out writing like a special date that you share. Either way, this t-shirt will probably be their favorite because they will be able to see the hard work you put into it.

Sweets and sweet treats go a long way when it comes to showing someone your appreciation. But giving someone chocolate isn’t enough. You can actually give them a box of sweet treats. Now yes it may seem like nothing special but you can actually do quite a lot.

Lastly, do you remember those cute little coupons you would create for your mom for mothers day? Well, you can do the same for the person you are dating. To compile this gift you could use cute hards or even a jam jar with popsicle stickers. You see there are a variety of DIY gift ideas out there.
