Valentine's Day

Express your love with handmade Valentine's crafts like paper cards, gift ideas, and decorations.

Sure, flowers are nice, but homemade food gifts are the sweetest tokens of affection—especially when they're heart-shaped. Will you make your loved ones sweetheart cookies, s'mores bars, peppermint hearts, eclairs or one of our other special Valentine's Day treats?

There's still plenty of time to make the perfect Valentine's Day gift, but if you end up in a pinch, these fun and easy gifts and crafts are a perfect (Cupid-approved!) solution.

Tell your sweeties, "You're my jam!" in a way that'll turn them into jelly. Simply roll butter-cookie dough into balls, and press the handle end of a spoon into each twice to make a V that expands as it bakes (genius!). Then sprinkle with sanding sugar, fill the indentations with warmed preserves, and give your heart away again and again.

If the sun seems to peer right into your window, give it something pretty to look at — and through! These translucent hanging hearts are easy to make from waxed paper and crayons. In return, sunbeams will   color your room with cheer.

Our founder always treats her nearest and dearest to something extra-special on February 14th. This year, she’s baking two kinds of swoon-worthy cakes: rich flourless chocolate minis and our white, coconut-topped cover star. Follow her simple steps, and share a little piece of your heart, too.
