Zoo-Inspired Valentine Gifts

These Wild About You DIY Valentine's Day Gifts are Super Cute

These DIY Valentine's Day gifts from the Design Mom blog are beyond adorable. The blog, which is known for its quirky takes on home-made crafts for children created these little DIY treats for the 'I’m Wild For You' gifts. The mum came up with the cute idea for childhood sweethearts to gift each other at school.

They feature readily available plastic toy animals, which are then tied to cute pieces of cards with little speech bubbles expressing the animals' romantic sentiments. I'm loving the 'Hippo Valentine's Day,' 'Rhino you're the one Valentine' and the leopard exclaiming 'You're spot on Valentine.' Whether you're in elementary school or an adult with a quirky sense of humor, these DIY Valentine's Day gifts are sure to melt hearts and illicit chuckles for your special someone this Valentine's Day.
