Glass Jars from Goodwill
Glitter candy jars
Candy is a classic Valentine’s Day gift, and you can make it extra special with a handcrafted jar or tin! Shop at Goodwill for glass jars or reusable containers that you can decorate in Valentine’s Day style. We recommend using spray adhesive or craft glue to cover the outside of the bottom of the container. Then, roll the jar in loose glitter and tap the excess glitter off. Let the jar sit for five minutes to dry and fill it with your favorite Valentine’s candy, such as heart-shaped candies, pink and red jelly beans, or chocolate-coated candies.

Spa day kit
What’s better than spending Valentine’s Day relaxing with an at-home spa day? Put together an easy and adorable set for your besties (or yourself) and enjoy the simple pleasure of a spa experience in the comfort of home. Shop at Goodwill for a basket or repurposed hatbox, then fill it with spa day goodies such as fuzzy socks, bubble bath, lotion, manicure and pedicure supplies, nail polish, face masks, and a comfy robe. Tie it all together with a red or pink ribbon!
Books from Ohio Valley Goodwill
Handmade card
It’s easy to go to the grocery store and pick up a card. Why not go the extra mile and express your creativity by making a special Valentine’s Day greeting with supplies from Goodwill? For example, repurpose word puzzle game board pieces to spell out a special greeting and glue them to heavy card stock paper. Or reuse book pages to create ” blackout poetry”. Check out a tutorial here. Another sweet idea? Paint over a vinyl record with a special message or design and frame it to make unique home décor. You can find all these supplies and more at Goodwill!
