I like to give the hubs something that I made for Valentine’s Day. He always complains about how Valentine’s Day is so commercialized, so I like to give him something with a little more meaning along with his store bought gift. Here are a couple of ideas: last year I gave him a deck of cards with 52 Reasons Why I Love You. This year I am giving him this personalized Rubik’s cube, so hopefully he is not reading this! 🙂
This “52 Reasons Why I Love You” card deck gift was a big success last year! It was really fun to make, but took me a bit longer to make than I anticipated so leave yourself a good amount of time and get started early! Here are some examples of some of my reasons…
I wrapped it up in a festive bag with some crinkle paper and a ribbon. He LOVED it and asked if we could hang it somewhere for everyone to see. I saw the card deck idea here.
This year’s idea came from Love Actually. When I saw this Personalized Photo Rubik’s Cube I knew it would be perfect. Let’s face it, the hubs is a geek and loves a normal Rubik’s cube, so how could he not love one plastered with photos of us even more! I was ecstatic when I found a Rubik’s cube at the dollar store and snatched it up for this project.
I love how it turned out and hope he loves it too!

So dang cute!
I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t love it. What a cute idea! 🙂
Okay, so my boys are rubik’s cube nuts! They have races with each other trying to solve them, and they collect them. This would be so perfect to give them! I can’t wait to try it! Thanks so much for the fun ideas!
LUV~ LUV~ LUV the rubics cube idea! We are going to Disneyland for the weekend and so something little and cute like that would be fun and easy to pack!
Thank you
Both of these ideas are just amazing! Thanks so much for linking them up. 🙂
I have seen many versions of the “52 reasons” but I must say that your is the most well made I have seen. I never even thought to cover the entire card with color & just write on it. I’m in the middle of this project myself. I promise I won’t steal your idea though!
