other is to go for a handmade gift. Well, not all students could afford to buy an expensive gift due to

budget constraints. So, the best thing is to hand make a gift.

Valentine’s Day gift ideas for college students

Hand-made paper flowers: While presenting flowers on Valentine’s Day can be a very good idea,

during this time flowers can be so expensive and these flowers would most probably be dead in few

days. Instead, you could opt for paper flowers. These paper flowers can be homemade and they can

last for a very long time. Hand making these flowers will also show how much you care for the

person.

Send out a mail: Yes, send a mail to your partner wishing him or her the best wishes for this

Valentine’s Day. These days, everything has gone digital and so does mails (e-mails). Instead of

sending an email, send a mail through the good ol’ US Postal Service. Well, no one expects to receive

an important mail from US Post these days, right. So, sending a Valentine message through US Post

is actually a good idea.

Day. You could pack in a small message or anything else into the walnut, provided it’s smaller than

partition inside, make it as smooth as possible and place your gift inside it. You could make a locket

Book iPad Case: You could buy an iPad case, virtually anywhere, but the feeling of a handmade iPad

case for your partner’s iPad can be exciting and the same time shows how much you care. Hand

making an iPad case can really take some time and skill. You could instead opt for a simple way

which reduces the time and effort and the end result can also be good. You could opt for a book case

for iPad. Take the measurements of the iPad and search for a large book in which the iPad can fit

perfectly. Now, mark the exact place where you want to place the iPad inside the book and hollow

out those pages. After the hollowing out is completed, you could do another thing. For extra

protection, you could add two sets of purse magnets to the book so that the cover sticks to the book

all the time.

can give to someone. Singing a song for someone special is a great way of showing care. It also goes

on to show that you are ready to shed your fears and do something bold. Record a favorite love song

of your partner and send it across in a DVD. If you want to make it special, you can ask your friends

to add chorus to your song and shoot the video on your phone.

thing with the videos of you and your partner. If you happen to have such videos, make a copy of the

video, add in some enhancers that you find movie-editing softwares such as black and white retro

look, muting the video and adding sub-titles or those good ol’ cards that conveyed the message.

Make sure that the content in those cards is humorous and funny.
