Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Hands on Pottery in Darien, CT has some really great gifts that your children can customize for Valentine's Day. We love giving frames as gifts and found the perfect one for Valentine's Day. A couple red paint dipped finger prints for hears and voilà — a personalized Valentine's Day frame.

Prop idea:
The kids are showing off some of their hand painted letters for our photo gift.
You can use any kind of heart and incorporate it within your photo for that personal touch and that perfect Valentine's Day gift.

VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT IDEAS

Gifts from the children are always a sweet way to remind a loved one just how much they are loved.

Every year we have been giving my mother "Omi" and father "Opa" a framed picture of their grand children. Here are some easy steps:

1- Buy a frame with mat from Home Goods,  Kohls, IKEA, Marshalls, A.I. Friedman in Portchester or any place you can find some frames with mats.

2- Give the mat to the children and have them each take a side to decorate or let them mix it up. We use paint, stickers, stamps, pastel crayons and sparkles to embellish the mat. We have even painted the frames for a different look.

3 - When the mats are dry assemble the frame with the photographs. Presto - your  personalized Valentine's gift is ready.

This version was for their father.
"These are always my favorite gifts."

If you don't have the time or patience for an arts and crafts project there is always an email message to let your special friends and loved ones know you are thinking of them. Here I simply took a picture of the children on our couch - using a red table cloth as the background.  I used Photoshop and  Illustrator to create the final email jpg.  I was able to send it to the entire family within minutes! I would be happy to help you customize your own email.

Minted.com or Tinyprints.com have existing templates for Valentine's Day if you are better at planning ahead than I am and want to mail out  a printed card or create some customized art for the walls.
