Valentines day is just around the coner, and I am looking for some cheap, creative but at the same time romatic ideas for gifts. Im thinking about making a big basket off things that he could use. Im not sure if it would work. I have a $20 limit, so anything in that range would work.
--------------------
A basket is a good idea. Here's some things to put in it: Make a bunch of origami hearts (ehow) and folded roses (bloom4ever) and fill a 'love jar' with a love note. While this is a project to do with kids, it doesn't matter - it's a cute idea: http://www.education.com/activity/articl… Laminate a photo of the two of you, made into a bookmark - so it can be a few small pics or just one, glue it to construction paper with hearts, then hole punch the top and put a piece of twine though the hole and tie a knot in it. Make Cookies Quick Banana Chocolate Chip Bars 1 Medium Ripe Banana, peeled 1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour ¾ Cup Brown Sugar, packed 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder ½ Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon ¼ Teaspoon Salt 1/3 Cup Olive or Vegetable Oil 2 Tablespoons Milk 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract 1 Egg ¼ Cup Chopped Nuts (optional) ½ Cup Chocolate Chips (or what feels good) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray small rectangular or 9x9 square baking pan with non-stick spray. Chop or mash banana. Combine with flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, oil, milk, vanilla and egg in large bowl. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips to this mixture OR save them to add as topping, sprinkling on top of mixture after poured into the pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Isabellas (Oatmeal Cookies) 1 cup butter 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1 1/4 cups flour 1 1/2 cups oats Dash salt, optional Powdered Sugar Cream butter and sugar until light. Mix in vanilla, then flour, oats and salt. Chill thoroughly. Shape into small balls and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Flatten with a fork, crisscrossing. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-18 minutes (depending on your oven). Sprinkle with Powdered Sugar
