DIY Granola Valentine’s Gift Idea

Make your own granola gifts to share with your sweet loves ones for Valentine’s Day, with this DIY Granola Valentine’s Gift Idea!

Happy month-0-love, friends! It’s Jessica here, to share a healthy DIY Valentine’s Day gift idea – Homemade Granola with “nutty” gift tags!

I love chocolate just like the next girl (probably more), but sometimes I get overwhelmed by the amount of sweets I receive on holidays like Valentine’s Day, especially after I just made a resolution to eat better the month before! So this Valentine idea is for all you health nuts, granola-fans, and people who just want to surprise their friends with something homemade this year.

Step 1:

Make your favorite homemade granola recipe (I included my personal recipe below, but I love Sandy’s quinoa granola too!).

Step 2:

Fill individual gift bags or jars with granola. If you plan on spreading the love to a lot of people, then use smaller bags or jars so you have enough granola to go around.

Step 3:

Decorate containers with fun Valentine’s Day cards / gift tags. I like incorporating the word “nutty” in my Valentine when gifting granola, so here are some silly ideas (click here to download a free printable of my “nutty” tags):

“I’m nutty about you!”
“I like you, you nut!”
“You drive me nutty!”

DIY Granola Valentine’s Gift Idea

You can also write your granola recipe on the back of the card / tag to double the surprise.

What’s your favorite Valentine’s homemade gift to give instead of giving sweets?
