DIY Valentine box of candy


I love it when gifts are personal. So, I try to find a way to turn the traditional into something more original, yet just as good. Here is a cute and fun way to make your own traditional box of chocolate.

What you need:
a dozen your loved one's favorite chocolates and candies


I ended up including little sentiments of love in with the candies in my box. I, also, ended up tying up my box with a simple red and white baker's twine. A cute and simple way to package and give my gift.

  1. I love this idea...and the candy you chose! I remember getting one of those traditional candy boxes and biting into the chocolates and spitting them out over and over again until I found a flavor I liked. The candy above, takes the guess work out and is cute!

  5. It'd be neat if you'd sell kits in your shops to coordinate this...

    I'd like to purchase a few, but don't need 75 of one set of cupcake liners!

    So cute! Love them!
