Roses are red, violets are blue, we’re not too fussed about chocs and teddies, what about you?
Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day or simply not at all, it’s easy to spot how inundated we are each year in shops and supermarkets on what to buy for a loved one.
Now we all know it’s really the thought that counts, but the sad reality is that the cute teddy that sings a budget version of ‘All of Me’ by John Legend just doesn’t really get a daily look in. Plus, once those batteries run out, it’s going to sound pretty creepy.
As easy as it is to pick something up on your travels, making something really adds such thought and a unique, personal touch to any gift. For those of us that craft, it’s yet another perfect occasion to send your Valentine something that’s truly made with love.
With that in mind, we’ve curated the ultimate gift guide that would even hit Cupid right in the feels.
Everlasting Beauty
It’s arguably the busiest day of the year for Florists worldwide, so why not let them have a sit down on your behalf and stitch this delightful bouquet that will never wilt. There are plenty of free DMC patterns to discover HERE!
Why not make your craft even more heart-stopping by using colourful aida? Both Zweigart and DMC have some stunning options on our website, but we’re LOVING the Blush, Red and Green in 14 count from Zweigart to stitch on!
Yet if you’re after something that’s a little more three dimensional, this crochet free pattern from Lily Sugar ‘n’ Cream holds the answer. You could easily gift them in brown paper and ribbon for that straight-from-the-flowershop feel; alternatively, you could handpick the perfect vase that your loved one will adore, much like their new favourite flowers.
Pretty In Pink
If you’re someone who loves to celebrate many occasions throughout the year, you could always brighten your space with some bunting! Perfect for those who may be unable to decorate, hanging pennants is a wonderful way to add some cute prints and colour to your home.
Rose & Hubble’s ‘Framed Hearts’ are available in three colourways, with Moda’s ‘Be Mine’ showcasing some super-cute dainty prints for you to fall in love with. Even making some quick and easy cushion covers is a fool-proof way to switch up your style throughout the seasons.
A Whole Lotta Lovin’
However, if you’ve got a little more time to show someone just how much they mean to you, these free quilting patterns from Robert Kaufman will certainly have hearts racing. Not only are the patterns beginner friendly, but these blankets are also perfect for a cosy night in for snuggling up with snacks.
Well sadly, we’ve got to love you and leave you! Whatever the 14th February looks like for you, we hope it’s a great one.
Don’t forget to tag us in your makes – we always love to see what’s on the production line! Use #woolwarehousecrafters and we’ll pick some of our favourites to share over on our socials.
