Easy Valentine's Day DIYs

 

Valentine’s Day is coming up, but you have no clue what to get that special guy in your life. Whether it’s your BGF, BF or crush, you want a special gift that’ll make him blush. Well, the saying’s true: the best gifts come from the heart. GL’s got three homemade gifts to give your Hearts Day the right rhythm.


Don't have a fave fella right now? No worries! Tweak these prezzies up a li'l and they're perf for sharing with your BFF or you mom and pops. Love it!


You Are the Music in Me

Is that special someone a music lover? Try making him a mixtape of your fave songs. Whether the first letters of the tracks spell out your cutie's name or the CD has all of your songs (the special ones you danced to), this prezzie is sure to put a smile on his face. Pick songs from his fave band or tunes that describe the two of you together. Tie the gift together with some candy and a homemade card. It’s bound to hit that perf note!


Pictures of You, Pictures of Me

Do the two of you go way back? Document the story of how you came together with pictures in a cute scrapbook! Grab your fave shots of the two of you and arrange them in a little book with stickers and ribbon. Write a dedication in the beginning letting him know how much he means to you. This priceless gift (and the memories inside) is something he’ll be sure to hold on to for a long time!


Ain’t She Sweet?

The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach! Try making your cutie his fave treat: homemade fudge, brownies, cookies or cupcakes. Package them up in a darling box and be sure to decorate and tie with ribbon. Add a note about how sweet he is to you and the recipe in case he wants more!


P.S. Want to know the best way to make your cutie’s V-Day?

Just spend some time with your fella. Whether it’s a planned picnic or lunch, a movie date or ice skating, your guy just wants to be with you. Tell him face-to-face how much he means to you. The memories you make together are the greatest gift of all.

So, I really like this guy in my grade, and he's sending me mixed and confusing messages, the few times we get to talk. Should I tell him how I feel, should I go with my instinct?

 

Hey girlie,

What about asking him to go to the movies with a group of friends? Snag a seat next to him and see how it goes. If he seems into you, at the end of the movie say "hey, i had a lot of fun. wanna do it again sometime, just the two of us?". It's a lot easier that straight up asking him to be your bf, and it gives you time to figure out if hes really into you.

Mod,
At my school for valentine's day, they sell carnations every year, and there's this guy i like, and i was thinking of sending him one (anonymously of course!!) Although, i'm a very paranoid person who thinks too much and i back out of things a lot, so i just need someone to tell me to go for it; should i? Thanks so much!




GO FOR IT. DOOOO IT. It anonymous so what do you have to lose?? Good luck!! xoxo kerra

Again, Do you think a simple card would work instead of just not doing anything?

 

Hey!

 

Everybody appreciates getting stuff on V-Day.  If you put some time and work into it, even a simple card will be special!

My 15th b-day is in a couple weeks, and I'm thinking of having a party at a roller skating rink. I'm thinking of inviting most of people that I know, just cuz I'm homeschooled, and most of the people I talk to I don't know very well. If I only invited people that I know really well, I'd have like six people there. The only prob is that IDK how to...um, the only word i can think of is "host", a party for prolly almost twenty teenagers. The last b-day party i had was when I was in fourth grade, so I'm a little rusty, lol. any tips? thanks,
Rockinbookz14




Hey Girl! Having a great party can be easy. Just make sure you have great music, and you play musical chairs if you will with the party guests. Go around to each person and just check in with them periodically. I've totally had one at a roller skating rink too, those are the best!  xo Lizzie

Hola! I sent this in to you yesterday but you didn't answer me. You answered people that posted comments after me though, so I'm trying again. I have a crush on a guy I've asked out before. He said no and says he doesn't have a crush. He told us that he had a friend back where he used to live so I know he's ready to have a friend. I said to him and his friends that I don't like him, even though I still do. I want to do something special for him for Valentine's Day without being teased. He's also a friend, if that helps. Please don't just tell me to try the 'What should you get for your BF/BGF article. I read it but nothing special jumped out at me. I didn't get any ideas. Please help!




Hey Girl! As much as you want to do something special for him, you should probably just separate yourself for a little bit. Sometimes being overly attentive can be a huge turn-off! Keep your distance and let him miss you. Hope this helps! xo Lizzie

Hey mod!
There's a V-Day dance at school. I kinda want to go, but i don't usually go to dances. Since I moved where I am now, I haven't been to middle school dances. Plus, I won't have a boy to go with (i know that's ok, but), it could be weird.
I have some friends that are going. Should I go?????




Hey Girl! Definitely go! Get your name out there so that next dance you WILL have a boy to go with. Going with friends is always the best way to go though. You'll have way more fun! xo Lizzie

my one guy friend who i like told me he likes me too a while back. But the other day he told me he would watch this movie i never saw with me and he said he would the day before valentines day and he said we only can if his parents are gone...but ive never had a boyfriend let alone hung out with a guy alone outside of school.especially not at his house all alone. do you have any advice as to what i should do? i told him i could hang out! and when were alone together at school its kinda awkward anyway im excited but at the same time i dont want to go!

 

Hey babes, are you sure it is ok for you to go over there without his parents being there? You dont want to be doing something his parents or your parents dont want you doing. If both sets of parents are ok with it, then thats exciting. Spending time outside of school is the best way to get to know someone better. xo JANA

Hey there! Alright, so I have a MAJOR crush going on. I've liked him for a really long time. Like - 5 years. Frown But he (of course) has a girlfriend. I've really had to be there for this guy in the last year or soI don't know what to do. I know this may sound crazy, because I'm 15, but I love this boy. I can't tell him. If i do, it'll ruin our friendship. I need him in my life more than i need him as a bf..
i know this is an open-ended question, but, what do i do? it hurts to much to wait for him forever, but i'm so scared of losing his friendship that i can't tell him.
i've been pretending that i'm over him lately, so i've been a little distant (i.e. NOT talking to him every chance i get. every 2 outta 3.) he picked up on it, and in response has been coming to me and getting to be better friends with my friends. it's a new dynamic. i love it. and he looks at me differently. he holds my gaze a second too long. he asks my opinion on his clothes and things that don't really matter to anyone but his GF. once he asked me if i liked his body spray. (and i totally do. it's delish.)
i just don't understand what's happening. and i love him so much.
what do i do? what comes next? and, the Q i'm afraid to ask in case if i'm wrong, but i need to: does he - could he maybe might like me? is it worth waiting?
Thanks so much! i know this was long and really corny, but it's all true. Smile Smile
xoxo

 

Hey babes, its great that you have such a great relationship but until he breaks up with his girlfriend and tells you he loves you, there is nothing you can do. He might seem like he is feeling something for you but in the bigger picture he is still with someone else at the end of the day. If I were you I would keep the friendship but back off on the attention you give him. It isnt fair of him to expect the amount of attention a girlfriend would give him from you. xo JANA

Hi girl, I think you should do cupcake decorating and watch a sappy movie. You could also get scrapbooking stuff and have them bring pics so that they could make scrapbook pages. xo JANA

Hi Allie and Alyssa! Can you help me si'l vous plait?
I am almost positive that my Meilleur ami Guy *bgf* is crushing on me. I also have a énormes écraser on him! Pouvez-vous m'aider à savoir s'il est écrasante sur moi ou si je dois faire le premier pas? *Can you help me find out if he is crushing on me or if I should make the first move?* Pardon.... my english is not very well and my friend *thats me... Vin!* is helping me improve my english spelling!
avec l'amour, Celestia B.

 

Hey babe, Try having a mutual friend ask him or how he feels. You can also try to compare how he treats you against how he treats his other girl friends and see if it seems like he's extra nice to you.

MOD! what do you think is the best mascara you have used? thanks Smile

 

Hey girl!

There are two mascaras that are my favorite! The first is Cover Girl Volume Exact Waterproof Mascara. It makes my lashes look full and curled! But when I'm looking for something that's a little cheaper, I go for Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara. It's much less but it also works great! The trick is to always go for waterproof, you don't want it running down your face if you're at the pool or the beach!

MOD!!!! idk if anyone mod's on this page but i still need major help!! my crush asked me out and i said yes. i dont know how to break it to my parents. i think they think girls my age are too young. help!

 

Hey girl!

It's always exciting when your crush asks you out, but it also important to make sure your parents are cool with it too! Just talk to them and let them know that a boy likes you and you guys want to hang out. Keep it simple, and hopefully they'll approve! It's definitely important though to always be honest with your parents!
