Easy Homemade Gift Ideas:
Art from the Heart
A special occasion is quickly approaching, and the rules you set up with your honey bear were pretty simple: the gift had to be made by your own two hands. Well, now those little hands are covered in glue and you are desperate for any easy homemade gift ideas that will get you out of this predicament.
Maybe some nice handmade soaps, if you could get your fingers unstuck long enough to turn the pages in a craft book. Next year, you vow, you are buying diamonds, end of discussion. This year though, you will have to stick to the rules.
Homemade Candles
One of the easiest of the easy homemade gift ideas is simple to do, will shock your honey bear and will even shock you once you are done. All that you need is a sheet of beeswax, a cotton wick and a length of your choice of satin ribbon.  All that you need to do is lay the sheet flat, center the wick and then roll tightly. Make sure that you are rolling the wax paper evenly or you will not have a candle when you are done, you will have a misshapen objet de art. When you reach the end of the sheet, press the edges down firmly and trim the wick. For your finishing touch, tie the length of ribbon around the middle of your candle. A grouping of three or four of these handmade candles works best, or you could present them beautifully in a pretty basket.
Homemade Cookies
 If candles are not your thing, you could opt for an edible present instead. Easy homemade gift ideas involving foods are always a great idea - especially if your honey bear has a sweet tooth in a major way.
Take yours or your honey’s favorite cookie recipe, gather the dry ingredients and then layer them in a pretty jar. After screwing the lid on, add a pretty scrap of fabric or a nice sheet of colored paper and finish with a ribbon. Add the instructions for finishing up the cookies, including the other ingredients that will need to be added and how to bake them. Voila, you have created a lovely gift and the recipient will think of you when they bake them up and then splurge on the yummy treats.
Romantic Art
 Homemade gift ideas are simple to make and can cost you next to nothing, but time. For this idea, you only have to buy a photo album. Gather photos, ticket stubs and other memorabilia from your dates and lives together, putting them in order in the album. Add little notes on the opposite pages, telling him or her how you felt on this date or this day. Share funny stories, share your fears, share your dreams. The more thought that you put into the gift; the better it will be received by your honey bun.
Make it Pretty
No matter what gift you use, make sure that your presentation is flawless. Choose simple, homemade looking paper for an authentic touch, or you can opt to make your own paper as well. Add in a handwritten note and get ready for the kissing and hugging to start
