Another year another valentines day. I feel like we all have a love hate relationship with this holiday. Who doesn’t love an excuse to indulge on chocolates, cards, flowers, and jewelry. But again why is everything so expensive around this holiday? A dozen roses at the grocery store cost almost as much as the downpayment on a one bedroom in Texas.

So, this year, if you are taking part in a collective ritual of celebrating love, but don’t want to break the bank, here are a few budget friendly DIY gift ideas. – By Chef Mimo
