Valentines Day Countdown: Day One

I l-o-v-e Valentine's Day, so this year instead of celebrating a single day, I'm planning 14-days of sweeter than sugar, lovey-dovey goodness. By the time Valentine's Day rolls around, Darin's going to be leaving honey in his footprints.

So, I spent some time over the weekend searching out 14 days worth of budget-friendly little gifts that I'm hoping Darin will enjoy. First stop - Home Depot $1 bins! Funny thing is though, this weekend they were more like $5 bins. Anyway, every time we hit Home Depot, Darin totally gets suckered into checking out all the chotskies in the bins - just like I do at Bath & Body Works! It prooved to be a good stop primarily because I actually just paid attention to all of the items as I walked down the isles, and I found a bunch of different things for $5 or less. So - here goes:

Day One: You Fit Like a Glove

- Workgloves from Home Depot

- Container from Crafties

- Ribbon and heart from Joanne's

- Sugary sweet love note written on the back of the heart. :)
