Whenever I ate Lucky Charms as a kid, I would always eat the oat pieces first, saving all the marshmallows for last. By the end of the bowl, the marshmallows had absorbed the milk so they would literally melt in your mouth.

I wish I could say I’ve grown out of the habit, but I ate Lucky Charms a few months ago for the first time in years, and had unconsciously eaten around the marshmallow pieces until they were all that was left. I guess old habits die hard. If you also have odd eating habits and are looking for a fun and nostalgic dessert, these Lucky Charms Sugar Cookies are for you!

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and what better way to show your loved ones (or yourself) how much you care for them than with a heartfelt DIY Valentine’s gift? Homemade Valentine’s gifts feel so special because the person you make them for will know you put in extra effort and were thinking about them long before February 14th. Plus, crafting a DIY gift allows you to add a more personal touch you may not get from a store-bought gift. 

Whether you’re looking for a present for your significant other, a galentine, or even to just decorate your home for the month, you’ll find something on this list to put your crafting skills to good use. Some of my favorites include large bows made from plastic table cloths, a crocheted heart garland, and a practical cherry berry lip balm. 

This list is curated with real life in mind, so the projects vary in commitment. You can whip up a heart wreath or decorated tapered candles in under an hour, or paint a lopsided heart artwork with supplies you might already have. There’s something here for every level of time, budget, and crafting ambition.
