Valentine's Day is the perfect time to show everyone in your life a little extra love. My favorite way to do this is with small, thoughtful, handmade gifts. Today, I'm sharing with you 5 easy, yet thoughtful, Valentine's Day gifts you can create using adhesive vinyl and inexpensive blanks.
1. For The Fashionista: Monogrammed Trinket Dish
A trinket dish makes a great gift for the trendy ladies in your life. Whether it's your mom or your bestie, every woman needs a place to drop her earrings at the end of the day.
To create this monogrammed trinket dish I used Craftables metallic gold chrome adhesive vinyl. The chrome vinyl is thicker than standard adhesive vinyl so when you cut it, adjust the blade pressure to "more" to ensure a clean cut.
*The font used for the monogram is Magnolia Bold.
2. For The Coffee Lover: Custom Coffee Mug
Coffee mugs are always at the top of my DIY gift list. They're a breeze to make and they can be customized to say whatever you'd like. Plus, who doesn't love coffee?

3. For The Little Ones: Personalized Gift Pail
A little personalization goes a long way with this gift idea. In minutes you can take a $1.00 metal pail and turn it into a boutique style gift using just one sheet of permanent adhesive vinyl. Add some paper shred and a few small gifts to complete the look!

4. For The Teen Queen: Key Chain
This easy DIY keychain idea is perfect for those new drivers in your life. The inexpensive acrylic blanks can be found on amazon and the only other thing you need is some colorful adhesive vinyl. Quick, easy and a great reminder that they'll see every time they pick up their keys.
