Saying I love you is about more than lavish gifts. How much better to present your sweetheart with a gift from the heart, something you have taken a little time and thought over. Plasti-kote Spray Paint can achieve great results fast but it doesn't often get the chance to play Cupid!

So why not show you care by taking a plain heart-shaped box (available from Hobbycraft or similar craft shops), spray the outside in a romantic red and the inside a glamorous gold, fill with favourite chocolates and you can't help to impress! You could even pen a romantic poem on the inside of the box as a romantic surprise when the chocolates are gone.

To leave a loving message, which can be renewed every day, take a plain wooden or clay heart, spray it with Plasti-kote Chalkboard Spray Paint and leave a personal message for a loved one. It says so much more than a card can - it says you are thoughtful and creative about your own Valentine's message.

Plasti-kote Spray Paints are available from all good DIY stores. Chalkboard retails at £5.99, Super at £5.49 and Metallic for £5.99, all for a 400ml can. For more information and inspiring ideas, visit www.plasti-kote.com or text COLOUR to 60066. For information on stockist call 01223 836400.

HOW TO DO IT

Chocolate Box
1. Make sure the heart box is clean and dry.
2. In a well-ventilated area, with protection on surfaces that you don't want sprayed, apply three fine layers of Super spray paint leaving 5 minutes between each coat. The heart will be thoroughly dry in 30 minutes. We used Plasti-kote Real Red Super Satin on the outside and Plasti-kote Antique Gold Metallic paint on the inside.
