A Valentine mug is the perfect way to show a little affection this year, but this DIY one is fantastic option that allows for a truly personalized gift. Valentine's Day gifts usually involve a sappy card with some flowers and/or chocolate: in my opinion, it's a little overdone.
DIY gifts are a great way of showing a sweetheart that you've been thinking about them and wanted to give them something that has more meaning than edibles. The process for making one of these Valentine mugs simply involves two materials: a white mug (new or used) and some ceramic paint. Once you've painted the mug to the desired effect (think hearts or a sweet message), place it in the freezer and allow it to dry overnight.
