Create a gift with little or no money what so ever.
All you need is
Few pieces of paper and a few readily available craft supplies
“EYES ON YOU” CARD
Ordinary pieces of card stock and paper turn into a cute and easy romantic token with this card! For this project, start with a piece of card stock cut into the desired size for your card. Then, cut a smaller sized rectangle out of patterned paper that will fit on the front of the card. Cut a heart that will fit inside of your patterned paper rectangle. Adhere both shapes to the front of your card. Adhere eyes to heart and draw in face with a thin marker pen. On the inside write a cute message such as "I've only got eyes for you!"
This card is a simple, but elaborate looking token of your affection. Start with a premade card stock card (or make your own). Then, cut a piece of red card stock into a rectangle and adhere it to the front of the card. Cut a piece of pink card stock into a heart. Punch a hole at the top of the heart. Thread clear pink and red beads on 24 gauge wire and shape into a heart. Using metallic curling ribbon, affix the beaded heart through the hole punch on your pink card stock heart. We tied it together at the top of the heart. Curl the ribbon and glue the pink card stock heart, with the beaded heart now attached to it, onto the red rectangle.
Love DOOR HANGER
This craft is truly a unique way to give letters or clues to a love hunt! To start, you will need to glue a sheet of desired patterned paper to a sheet a card stock. Then cut out the desired shape for your door hanger. Cut out a hole towards the top. We used a heart shape a touch of romantic whimsy. Then cut a smaller rectangle you can adhere it to the BACK of the door hanger. Adhere it to the door hanger so you create a type of pocket to leave notes or clues in. Cut out an X and O from card stock and adhere to the front of the door hanger. We wrote our love notes on heart shaped paper and tucked them into the pocket on the door hanger.

What Is LOVE?
Love is a basic dimension of human experience that is variously conveyed as a sense of tender affection, an intense attraction, the foundation of intimacy and good interpersonal chemistry, willing self-sacrifice on behalf of another, and as an ineffable sense of affinity or connection to nature, other living beings, or even that which is unseen. It manifests itself in feelings, emotion, behavior, thoughts, perception and attitude. It influences, underlies and defines major patterns in interpersonal relationships and self-identification.
The concept of love is not amenable to one authoritative definition. It is the subject of considerable debate, enduring speculation, and thoughtful introspection. As an approximation, different aspects of love can be illustrated by comparing its corollaries and opposites. As a general expression of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like), love is commonly contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy); as a less self-centered and more "mutual" sign of intense desire, love is commonly contrasted with lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones, love is commonly contrasted with friendship, although other connotations of love may be applied to close friendships as well.
The diverse range of meanings associated with the English word contrasts with the plurality of Greek words for love, reflecting the depth, versatility, and complexity of the concept. This diversity of meanings is reflected in the many distinct classifications of love including romantic love; sexual desire; platonic love; religious love; familial love; true love; and the more casual application of the term to anything pleasurable, enjoyable, desirable, or preferred, including activities and favorite foods.
In ordinary use, love usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience felt by a person for another person. Love often involves caring for or identifying with a person or thing, including oneself (cf. narcissism).In this use, love is actually the greatest proportion on selfishness, in that one only wants one thing, and that is for another being to be happy, and the one in love will do anything to fulfill this wish. This case however, does not necessarily end in marriage, because another may make the loved one happier, meaning the lover will give the other up.
The very existence of love is itself subject to debate. Some categorically reject the notion as false or meaningless. Others call it a recently-invented abstraction, sometimes dating the "invention" to courtly Europe during or after the middle ages. Others maintain that love really exists, and is not an abstraction, but is indefinable, being an essence which is spiritual or metaphysical in nature. Some psychologists maintain that love is the action of lending one's "boundary" or "self-esteem" to another. Others attempt to define love by applying the definition to everyday life.
Cultural differences make any universal definition of love difficult to establish. Expressions of love may include the love for a soul or mind, the love of laws and organizations, love for a body, love for nature, love of food, love of money, love for learning, love of power, love of fame, love for the respect of others, etc. Different people place varying degrees of importance on the kinds of love they receive. Love is essentially an abstract concept, easier to experience than to explain. Because of the complex and abstract nature of love, discourse on love is commonly reduced to a thought-terminating cliché, and there are a number of common proverbs regarding love, from Virgil's "Love conquers all" to The Beatles' "All you need is love." Bertrand Russell describes love as a condition of "absolute value," as opposed to relative value.
