January is drawing to an end, which means that Valentine's Day is almost upon us. If you're like me, you may have exhausted your gift giving ideas over the holidays which leaves only one option - the handcrafted gift. Fortunately, SparkFun Electronics has your back, and we've created a Valentine's Day gift guide video (with accompanying tutorials) to help you this year. Check it out!

Pam, SparkFun graphic designer, built both of these projects as the perfect gift for your loved one, significant other, buddy, pal, or bro. If you'd like to build the heated blanket, you can check out the tutorial here. The parts list is as follows:
For Pam's music box, which was inspired by SparkFun employee Dav's design, you can check out this tutorial. The parts list is here:

The video has been very helpful. Sometimes it's frustrating to find Valentine's gifts for loved ones because you're thinking that they might not like what you give them. I also got bluepromocode coupons, and helped me save a lot.
Valentine's Day is a week away, and your significant other would like to get a Valentine's promissory note our “love coupon” in which you promise to do something special for them. While the specific nature of such guarantees is bounded only by your creativity, for your significant other who is a vehicle lover, consider that love when making your guarantees. Here are a few Valentine's Day vehicle service guarantees to try. How many times have you expected additional info concerning a new or used car or truck and turned to an internet search on “car loans for?” Look no further, whatever you need is and Learn more here!
I liked your post. Valentines is coming up!Men, what are the women in your life buying you for Valentine's Day? You should have a bit of that action, so here's a list of helpful present ideas to get them started. Article resource: look from this web page!
That was excellent work Sparkfun. :) The videos you guys create always keep me entertained. :D
Nick, do you need a hug? I really think everyone needs to invade Nick's bubble and make him smile!!! Hopefully he doesn't hide inside of Tardis.....you'll never find him ;-P
I still want a plushbot to make for my wife from last Valentine's day... https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11070
Just so you know, the LillyPad board mentioned in the hand warmer is out of stock. I assume the LillyPad simple (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10274) would work for that project as well?
The simple board will work for this project! (Sorry that the Lilypad ATmega32U4 is in back order status at the moment) You will need to get a FTDI Basic https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10275 and an USB Cable https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11301. If you are planning on soldering the whole project, you could look into the Arduino Pro Mini too. Definitely recommend reading through the tutorial to see how you want to customize it for your project. If you need any help you can post here!
So did Nick have to get in touch with his inner teenager to maintain such an apathetic slouch? :)
Nice video! Building something special for someone special...
