Valentines Day Gift ideas for her under $10

Homemade gifts for her this Valentines Day should include this Truffle Recipe

Valentines Day is a day to celebrate the ones you love.  Finding creative, homemade or under $10 Valentines Day gift ideas for mom, grandma or a very wonderful Aunt can be challenging when doing it on a budget.  These 10 creative gift ideas are fun gifts and will be most appreciated by any lady in your life, while leaving very little  room for disapproval.

1.  Slippers - Isotoner Terry Ballet Slippers in cream.  Give her Piggy's a rest.  Attatch a homemade coupon for a Footrub or Pedicure.

2.  A few homemade bath bombs or other homemade chocolate bath products.

3.  A Box of Candy.  Homemade candy is probably the coolest Valentines Day present ever.  Use these recipes for Homemade Chocolate Truffles,  Homemade Pistachio truffles or these pink, White Chocolate Ftrawberry Fudge Hearts.

4.  Breakfast in bed is a great Valentines Day present, or win Breakfast in Bed by Scott Sachs.  To make your own breakfast in bed, try these recipes that you can also gift to go along as a gift.  Try making a jar of homemade marmaladeand homemade pancake mix (just the dry ingredients), and tie with a colorful ribbon, the ingredients and the instructions.  Make your Valentines day with breakfast in bed with the homemade marmalade and homemade pancake mix to start the day off. 

5. Pretty, "Thank You", Cards with the first one filled out to the gift recipient, thanking her for being a great Valentine.

6.  A good book.  Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn is a "sharp", dark tale that is a supurb blend of a novel and a thriller - and a fantastic gift idea.  The Lovely Bones is another fantastic book that would be a great gift.  Attatch a used book with a homemade bookmark.  For great used books, head to a few thrift stores like Out of the Closet or Goodwill where books range between $.25 and $2.00.  Grab as many creative books as you can find and and wrap them in a pretty ribbon.  Many thrift stores also carry cookbooks if that's mom or grandmas thing.  Giver a few cookbooks and a $2.50 measuring cup set.  Alternately, grab a few coffeetable books and add a $2.00 coffee cup with a coffee or tea sampler.

7.  Grab a mug at The Dollar Store and make some homemade vanilla hot chocolate with chocolate marshmallows.

8.  Homemade Valentines Day Pot Holders via MarthaStewart.com

9.  A birdfeeder.  Gradmas and mom's love birdfeeders.  I think women start to take-up feeding birds  around the same time they pick up gardening.  Either way, I look forward to it, and can say that many women would enjoy a good birdfeeder.  I reccomend Build a Birdfeeder by Toysmith for a gift from kids to give grandma or mom; the Woodland Squirrel birdfeeder for a mom, grandma or aunt with a sense of humor; or this pretty Sapphire Twist Hummingbird Nectar Outdoor Feeder.

10.  Vanilla Infused Vodka - See this recipe.  All moms love sweet vodka and chocolate flavored martini's.  Give this vanilla vodka a martini glass and a small jar of marchino cherries.  Add a box of homemade Pistachio Truffles and call it a day!
