Valentine's Day is a tender, romantic holiday. On this day, I want to please my beloved with an extraordinary gift that would express your warm feelings and be remembered for a long time. Our loved ones deserve all the jewels of the world, but what if the budget dictates its limitations? There is a way out - make a gift with your own hands!

The tradition of making valentines with one hand has long existed. Making a gift with your own hands allows you to invest in this object of creative activity not only your imagination and love, but also take into account the individual characteristics of who will receive your gift - character, sense of humor, cute habits - in general, everything that you know about a loved one and want to tell him.

That is why gifts with their own hands are so soulful - Love lives in them!

Tea as a gift for February 14

It is appropriate to give tea for any reason, tea in itself gives joy, arouses feelings, inspires and even gives a certain tea euphoria. And if you also make a little effort using only tea, your own hands and some simple additional materials, you can make an original and sincere gift for Valentine's Day.

A few ideas on how to make a DIY Valentine's Day gift

Tea bags

The easiest way is to cut the factory tags from the finished tea bags and replace them with hearts cut out of red cardboard. This will require cardboard, scissors and glue. Fold the cardboard in half, draw double hearts under the stencil and cut them out. Then just replace the hearts with the factory tag, leaving the thread inside.

Such decorated tea bags can be folded into a beautiful box decorated at your discretion. By the way, you can take the same box from under purchased bags. Just glue it with beautiful paper, decorate with hearts or romantic inscriptions.

The gift will turn out budget and beautiful. The only BUT is the content of the tea bags themselves. After all, a loved one will make and drink this “tea”, and not just admire it. After all, I don’t want the person dear to us to drink the incomprehensible trash that is usually found in these bags! So, you need to make bags for good tea yourself.

There are two options. You can buy ready-made filter bags for brewing tea and herbal mixtures, they are sold in many stores. Put tea in such a bag and tie it with a thread in the shape of a bag. Do not cut the thread, but tie or glue a cardboard or velor heart to the tip according to the scheme described above.

And you can do even better - sew a heart-shaped pouch - it will look very cute and sincere! This will require a thin cloth, thread and scissors. Cut out double hearts from the fabric, sew the edges. Do not sew in completely, leave a hole so that tea can be placed in your designer tea bag. Do not cut the thread. After the tea is already inside the bag, sew it completely. The tip of the thread can be decorated with a heart, a bow, a bead - show your imagination.

A little tip - tea for such bags is better to choose tight or curled, which takes up little space - it will be more convenient to put it in bags. Oolongs such as Mount of Joy, Te Guan Yin, GABA tea will do well. It is also easy to pack small Indian black tea. It is better to give white tea space, it is too voluminous to fit in a small bag the amount of tea needed to brew one cup.

Ready-made bags can be folded into a beautiful box decorated with hearts and romantic inscriptions - you will get a wonderful gift for Valentine's Day, made with love!

Labels - hearts can be replaced with notes with wishes and declarations of love or texts on the theme "I love you for what you ...". Or even small joint photos. You can use fabric of different colors to make tea bags - for example, seven colors for every day of the week. Then in each bag you can put a different tea, one favorite tea for every day.

Tea bags can be placed in one box along with various flower additives - osmanthus, rosebuds or jasmine. Then your loved one will be able to diversify the usual daily tea drinking, making tea with floral additives to your taste.

Separately, I would like to say a few words about the varieties of tea that are the best suited for a joint romantic tea party on Valentine's Day.
