These would make great favors for a birthday present as well, just change up the paper.

So cute and easy! I cannot imagine how simple it can be. A beautiful gift for our love ones. No more great spending. As what have been reported here:Studies say spending will be up for Valentines Day. I would rather have my own crafts as gifts for Valentines day. And celebrate it with true happiness and love.
