Hello dear bloggers and others from around the world!
My favorite day is arriving, Valentine's Day! I always get super excited. Although some people say it's just a market strategy to make us consume more and buy more, I still get excited for it. But I do have to say my Valentine's gifts are mostly DIY. I once made a wish jar. I put in all these little papers with sweet messages on them or date ideas or just a; let's stay in tonight and order some pizza. Tom adored it, he said it was the cutest thing ever. I'm really happy he goes along with my cheesiness, that's just how we are!
For this years Valentine's Day, I'm also thinking about a DIY gift. I was thinking about making him some soap with a manly scent maybe? But that's just so much work and I'm not really good at chemistry so that's a no-go after all. I know he loves it when I bake things, especially my frangipane cake. It's a cake we bake when we celebrate that the three saints went to visit Jesus Christ. So normally we bake it a few weeks after Christmas but it's so good, I like to eat it all year 'round! Also, the traditional cake to celebrate the saints is a little different than the frangipane cake. In my next post, I'll write the recipe for this delicious treat!
That could be one idea. If you're good at baking, do make this! It's so yummy.. Or bake something else. Who doesn't like a chocolate cake? We have a saying here in Belgium; a man's love goes through his stomach! So food is always a good idea.
If you're not really a great cook, then you can always do other DIY-projects as a gift for your lover. You can make a cute card yourself. I always enjoy making a card myself because you can really put your feelings in it or show your drawing skills. He will definitely appreciate that you've put so much effort in it! Here are some ideas I saved for my own inspiration. Beware, it's super cheesy. Just how I like it.

| I love beards and cats so this is my absolute favorite! It's super funny! |
Some are easy to make, like the one with washi-tape. Others involve some skills, like drawing. But even if you think you're not much of a drawer, give it a try! It's always sweeter to give something you made yourself.
And if all the DIY is just too much for you, there's still Etsy! I love Etsy! Everybody should know about Etsy in my opinion! It's all hand crafted goods and even supplies for your own DIY-projects. I've already searched the many shops for some lovely gifts and here's my list, maybe it helps give you some inspiration!
1. This super chic and cute tie clip! If you're going on a date and you both are going
to dress up, this a good one. You can also change the inscription for free! This is for the classy men among our lovers.

2. Some guys like some cool jewelry or accessories and these are pretty cool! You can also just check the shop, Galismens, because they have great jewelry for men. It's maybe not super cheap but hey, he's worth it right?

3. Now let's not forget there are some men who love to pamper themselves. My boyfriend is a man like that. He has a big beard (which I truly think is super sexy on him) and it's really important to take care of the beard real good. So here are some manly beauty products!
