Looking for a thoughtful Valentine gift for your sweetheart? This Reasons Why I Love You book is perfect!

Reasons Why I Love You Book

My husband and I don’t go all out for Valentine’s Day, but it’s still a holiday I love and so I try to make it special without expensive gifts and crowded dinner plans! This gift idea is perfectly sentimental and super easy to make – and we have TWO variations for you today. Take a look –

The first idea is called “The ABC’s of What I Love About You” and it’s all about the characteristics of your sweetheart that you LOVE! Here is how to make it:

ABC’s of What I Love About You

SUPPLIES:

• printable ABC’s of What I Love About You Pack
• pen or marker
• circle hole punch
• metal clasp ring
• pictures + glue stick, optional

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Download and print the printables.
2. Grab a pen and start writing down the fun characteristics you love for every letter of the alphabet.
3. Optional – Look through alllllll your pictures and find some of your sweetheart that illustrate the qualities on your list. For example, the letter “E” in my book was “Encouraging.” I found a cute picture of my husband coaching my son at a baseball game. Glue the pictures to the book, either on the front or back, as space permits.
4. Punch a hole into the top left corner of each card, then stack them up in ABC order.
5. Slip your metal ring through the stack of cards and secure it so you have a little flip book!

…and that’s it!

The second idea is called “The ABC’s of Us” and it’s all about fun memories the two of you have had together. Here is how to make it:

The ABC’S of US

SUPPLIES:

• The ABC’s Of Us Printables
• pen or marker
• circle hole punch
• metal clasp ring
• pictures + glue stick, optional

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Download and print the printables.
2. Grab a pen and start thinking of fun memories! For each letter of the alphabet included in the printable, you get to write a fun memory. For example, for the letter “F”, I decided to write about our “First House.” I had a lot of fun remembering and trying to come up with an idea for each letter.
3. Optional – Find some pictures that illustrate the memories on your list. (A picture of your first house would be so cute!)
4. Punch a hole into the top left corner of each card, then stack them up in ABC order.
5. Slip your metal ring through the stack of cards and secure it so you have a little flip book!

…and that’s it!

This Reasons Why I Love You Book is even cheaper than a card I would have bought off the shelf at the grocery store, and its personalized so its way better!

I am excited to give my husband these fun love notes! I think these notes and his favorite candy will do the trick this Valentine’s Day!
