Still, as a mom I always want to make any holiday special for my kids.

A tight budget can also make it interesting to find exactly what you need for holidays. However, there are a lot of great gift ideas out there that will fit into a $5 or $10 budget! Some of the best Valentine's Day gifts are either DIY or somewhat DIY– put together yourself!
