Use up your old newspapers, magazines and wrapping paper from christmas and make something new out of it, like a collage heart or card!

One year, along with friends, I made paper which can then be used for cards as well. You can get really creative with this by adding in magazine cut outs, dried leaves or rose petals even - have fun with it!
Here's a good website for a guide on how to make your own paper: How to Make Paper

Here are some examples of the paper I made

Also, you could buy potted flowers rather than a bouquet as it lasts longer, and for those of you living in climates where there isn't snow, you can always plant flowers together, and that'll last the longest!

Also, there is tons of fair-trade chocolate and coffee out there - why not bake a cake and indulge! Actually, all of you should indulge whether you have a valentine or not.

Happy Valentine's Day!
