Hearts Book Perfect For Valentines Day

January 31, 2012 by Shellie Wilson

Hearts by b small publishing, £3.99

This cute, compact book shows kids how to cut, stick, weave or cook their loved ones a gift for Valentine’s Day.

From yummy heart sweets to pretty jewelled heart brooches and clever heart wreathes, there are plenty of exciting, creative projects to get stuck into.

Each project is based on one of five themes, cooking, making cards, making gifts, decorating or accessorising.

The colourful illustrations and step-by-step guides are delightful and easy to follow and the front cover doubles-up as a nifty heart-shaped stencil that can be used in each project. There’s also a middle-page pullout of heart-themed stickers.

This book is guaranteed to keep kids busy with hours of fun and help them produce some lovely little homemade gifts too.

Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find

If you love a good wine and a stylish cheese platter, then this recycled flat wine bottle cheese board will be your new best friend. Not only does it combine two of life’s greatest pleasures, but it also gives a second life to old wine bottles, turning them into something functional and chic.

I stumbled across a similar piece at a friend’s gathering last year, and I couldn’t stop admiring it. The wine bottle was almost unrecognizable—transformed into a sleek, modern board for snacks and small bites. It’s the perfect conversation starter, and honestly, it brings a certain wow factor to any dinner party or casual gathering.

This cheese board isn’t just pretty; it’s practical too. The smooth surface is ideal for serving everything from crackers to fruit to your favorite cheeses. Plus, it’s an awesome example of recycling and upcycling, keeping those old bottles out of landfills while elevating your entertaining game.

Why we love it:

  • Made from recycled flat wine bottles, adding sustainability to your kitchen

  • A unique upcycled home decor item that’s also super functional

  • Ideal for wine lovers, eco-conscious hosts, or anyone who loves a good cheese board

Not only does this board make for a stylish and sustainable addition to your kitchen, but it also makes for an awesome gift for those who love eco-friendly entertaining.
