You probably love Valentines Day (because, who doesn’t?!).
And if you’re here, you probably love packaging (because again, who doesn’t?!).
So why not combine the two?
Wow your partner (or just yourself—because you’re worth it, too!) by creating a crafty and custom feel for Valentine’s Day this year. With pre-made decorations, packing supplies you can easily repurpose, and things you can create yourself (with a little help from us!), you can make Valentine’s Day memorable for more than just cards and chocolates.
(But don’t forget the cards and chocolates. Trust us.)
Here’s some fun ways to get crafty (and a little romantic) for Valentine’s Day.
Fall in Love with Pre-Made Décor
Walls are often the last place to be decorated. We say, start there first.
Now, you don’t need to go painting walls (though we think a red accent wall’s pretty good at any time of the year) to properly decorate for the day. How about a PaperKake garland? Picture pink, red and patterned hearts adorning your walls—and if you’re really feeling the funk, string up some 3D hearts for bonus texture and attention.
What about a wreath? What’s that, they’re for Christmas only? Why would you say such a thing? Take this heart-packed wreath—it’s perfect for you to customize with paint, glitter and anything else you like. Have it join the garland on your wall, or put it on your front door and watch your neighbors get seriously jealous over your art skills.
And finally, how about shredding some red, white and pink construction paper? Strategically cover a few side tables with it, then create a pathway to everyone’s favorite room on Valentines Day.
The kitchen. We were talking about the kitchen.
Surprise Your Sweetheart with Custom Boxes & Packaging
Most Valentines Day gifts come in their own packaging, but how about substituting your own?
Make a statement with a custom box. Choose your box style, size, and the colors you want—we know your gift won’t soon be forgotten. Did we mention you can choose both the inside and outside colors? To be instantly noticed, go for a bright outside (we suggest ladybug or watermelon) with a dark inside (licorice is a favorite). And if you’re looking to surprise your partner, go for oyster white outside with ladybug or watermelon inside. Your partner will love it, because it’s literally designed by you.
If you want to really have some fun with expectations, fill mailing tubes with candy—or a single rose. And if you’re buying roses by the dozen, group 12 of those tubes into a heart shape and drop a rose in each one. Just try forgetting THAT gift.
What a Card, What a Card, What a Mighty Good Card!
There’s nothing more appreciated than something made with your own two hands—and we’re here to help with that. Our FREE Valentine’s Day Printable Pack is a great way to make your own customized cards, gift tags and decorations.
Once printed on card stock, they’re great as gift tags or cards. Traced onto single face corrugate, you can paste them onto your own cards as texture, or on extra gifts like paper bags full of candy. And if you’ve got any moving boxes lying around, they’re a great packing supply to create thick garland decorations with.
With a little ingenuity and a lot of fun, Valentines Day can be as personalized and personal as you want. Armed with chocolates, roses, and packing supplies from The Packaging Company, we know it’ll be a memorable occasion.
Oh, and don’t forget to put on some Barry White!
