Instead of throwing old jam jars away you can save them and make cute votives out of them. So, when you are done eating the jam, wash the jar and decorate it. This time I folded a piece of (pink) filt and cut out half of a heart, then I just glued the piece to the jar.
The seventh graders at school are embroidering and since Valentine day is around the corner I let them do some minor project. We wrote some words and symbols and marked them out and did some back stitches.
This is a very easy way to make someone you like happy.
