Make A Valentine's Day Card

A card you've made the love of your life that, perhaps, features a shot of you both together will get you more brownie points than a shop bought generic card anyone can buy. If you're unsure how to go about creating a card, we've got a tutorial to help you out: How To Create A Card In Photoshop. 

Snap A Selfie With Your Significant Other

Put your photography skills to work and capture an image of the two of you together you can give as a gift. You could even present it in one of the frames or albums listed below. 

Take Photos Of The 2 Of You & Create A Photo Collage

If you don't think one photo will be enough, why not spend a little time constructing a photo collage. This doesn't just have to feature portraits either as you could include photos you've captured in some of your favourite places, holiday memories and other moments from your time together. There are plenty of free apps, such as Phototastic Collage, that you can use to construct your collages with ease too. 

Make A Slideshow Of Images 

A personalised slideshow that can be viewed on your TV or even a tablet is something that will bring a smile to your partner's face. Like the collage, it can feature shots of you together as well as photos of some of your favourite places or events you've been to together. There are free apps available online you can use to construct your slideshow which means you just need to invest some time rather than money.

We don't actually want you to wrap a cookie cutter up as we doubt that'll go down well. Instead, use the cutter to create cookies you can decorate and present as a gift in a nice box or bag.
