Cute Valentine Coupon Tickets

You've seen the "coupon booklet" Valentine idea where one partner gifts the other partner a bunch of "coupons" for house chores, massages, date night ideas and more. Well, TikTok user @romyvanderlindenn found a cute way to display them and gift them that looks like movie tickets. Plus, it's pretty simple. How adorable and unique!

DIY Valentine Vending Machine

This DIY is not only a Valentine, but it's a genius, DIY gift-dispensing treat. It's a bit more complex than the other DIY Valentine's on this list, but it's also cheap to make and involves an old shoe box, other cardboard and construction paper (plus some V-Day love, too). TikTok user @sanaxahmad stuck candy and heart notes in theirs, but you can also stick mini Valentines for it to dispense too.

Lastly, this might be one of the most creative DIY Valentines on this list. It uses Spotify's QR-code graphics to create your very own DIY vinyl. Obviously everything in this DIY—from TikTok user @humayra_tabachum—is made of cardboard and construction paper to create a card that looks like a vinyl record. You then print out the album cover of your choice along with the Spotify code of a song (or album) that reminds you of your love, and boom! You have a really personal, really creative Valentine that your S.O. is going to be obsessed with.
