    Thank you Catherine for all your wonderful ideas for Valentines Day. I have really enjoyed reading your posts and looked forward to your next idea. I decided to give my husband the bottles of beer. He was most surprised and thought the labels are very clever – a wonderful and easy gift for me to give. Thank you.

    What a great list of ideas! I personally like the customized beer labels, but I also like the jar of ideas as well.

    Always important to let your other half know what they mean to you. Great set of posts Catherine 🙂

      Thankyou Matt for your lovely comment. I actually gave both of those ideas to my husband for Valentines and he loved them. He especially liked the love jar. I think sometimes we can miss the basic point of Valentines and that is to let people know we love them – the jar worked perfectly for this 🙂
