Valentine's Day Gift Ideas: A DIY Notebook That Anyone Would Love

A personalized, hand-crafted present always takes the cake whenever the exchanging of gifts is involved (at least that's what we think.) There's an intimate quality behind the process of making something that a store bought equivalent can't quite match. To channel this unique sentiment, today's Valentine's Day gift idea features a craft by see kate sew. Her blog shows us how to pull together a beautiful, wood-grain notebook that would be perfect for that special person in your life.

These small books are great for someone who loves to write or draw. We like the idea of stacking them up in a set of three or four and gift them as a beautiful collection.
