It’s almost Valentine’s Day! That means it’s time to find that perfect gift for your very special someone. We’ve listed the top 5 Must Haves for Valentine’s Day 2015!

First, what exactly is Valentine’s Day? By the 18th century, the tradition of giving gifts and exchanging hand-made greeting cards on Valentine’s Day had become common in England. Valentine cards were made of lace, ribbons, and featured cupids and hearts. Eventually the practice spread to the American colonies.

The tradition of Valentine’s cards did not become widespread in the United States until the 1850s when a native of Worcester, Mass., Esther Howland, began mass-producing them. Today, of course, Valentine’s Day has become a booming commercial success. According to the Greeting Card Association, 25% of all cards sent each year are valentines.

Must Have Gift #3 – Conversation Heart Wreath

This Valentine craft was fun and quick to create. We used conversation hearts, a foam heart, and hot glue. The wreath could easily be made in an edible version too! Just cover the foam wreath with ribbon or plastic wrap before attaching the conversation hearts. When attaching the hearts use a thick frosting instead of the hot glue!
