Image via WikipediaI remember that old children's song I learned in my younger years:
Love is something if you give it away.
Give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away.
It will come right back to you.
It's just like a magic penny.
Hold it hold and you won't get any.
Send it, share it, give it away.
It will come right back to you.
And because love can't be seen or touched, here are simple homemade valentine gift ideas I am going to share with you. When you give them away to your love ones, it is just like sending, sharing, giving away your love. Creating an impression in them that you are taking a piece of your heart and putting it into theirs. You will surely give Valentine's day another meaning to them and the holiday would never be the same again.
