one thing you could do is put the cookies in jar, then put a valentinesy square of fabric over the top and tie it down with ribbon, like a lid. it looks festive but its not overdone. you could also do somethign more personal, like if your boyfriend is really into skateboarding find a box and glue on magazine scraps with cool skateboarding logos and pics. any collage could really dress up a container and a magazine or advertisement to cut up shouldnt be too hard to find.

Go to a local hobby craft store, like Michaels or go to Home Depot or maybe Target, and buy STYROFOAM!!!  Shape it out of styrofoam.  Then paint it!  Add putty, paper, and other items onto the foam with glue.

This is a simple recipe I am sure will help you.  It is a recipe for sugar cookies I am sure you will love.  I had to make these for a cooking project and the whole class voted them the best.  \n2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour \n1/2 teaspoon baking powder \n1/4 teaspoon fine salt \n1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature \n3/4 cup granulated sugar \n3/4 cup confectioners' sugar \n2 large egg yolks \n1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract \n1/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest \nCoarse sugar, aka sanding or crystallized sugar \nRoyal Icing, recipe follows\n\nWhisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. \nBeat the butter and both sugars in another medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds. Add the egg yolks, vanilla and orange zest mixing until fully incorporated. Slowly add the flour mixture, and continue beating until the dough comes together, stopping and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. \n\nFor rolled cookies: Roll about a tablespoon of dough by hand into a ball. Dip 1 side of the balls into some coarse sugar and place them sugar-side-up on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 1-inch between cookies. \n\nFor sliced cookies: Divide dough in half, roll by hand into 2-inch-wide logs, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. \n\nCut the logs into 1/4-inch-thick cookies and place them on ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 1-inch between cookies. \n\nFor cutout cookies: Divide dough in half, pat into disks, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. \n\nRoll dough between lightly floured parchment, or waxed paper, until about 1/3-inch thick. Transfer sheets to a baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into desired shape using a cookie cutter, place them on ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 1-inch between cookies. (Gather the dough scraps together, pat into a disk, chill and reroll.) \n\nRefrigerate cookies while preheating the oven to 375 degrees F, for at least 30 minutes. \nBake the cookies, until the bottoms are golden, about 10 to 15 minutes depending on shape. Cool on sheets until firm enough to transfer to a rack to cool. Decorate as desired and serve, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month. \n\nRoyal Icing: \n5 tablespoons meringue powder (egg white powder) \n6 tablespoons water \n1 pound confectioners' sugar (about 3 3/4 to 4 cups or 1 box) \nFood coloring, as desired \nCombine all the ingredients, except the food coloring, in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix slowly until stiff enough to form peaks. The icing should be pure white and thick, but not fluffy and bubbly. If the frosting is overbeaten, it will get aerated which makes it harder to work with. If this happens, let the frosting sit to settle, then use a rubber spatula to vigorously beat and smooth out the frosting. \n\nAlternatively, combine ingredients in a large bowl, and beat with hand beaters on low speed until the frosting thickens to stiff peaks. \n\nAdd up to 1 tablespoon food coloring and mix with a rubber spatula until the color is uniform. (Adding too much color reduces the sheen of the frosting and can break down the consistency of the frosting over a couple of days.) Store icing, covered, with plastic film on the surface of the icing. \n\nYield: 1 pound royal icing (1 2/3 cup)

make a mini lava-lamp-like thingy.  get a cup, fill it about 3/4 full.  add food coloring, if u want.  pour a layer of oil about a centimeter thick.  then, pour salt, sugar, or sand, or all three on top of the oil.  it'll go up and down for a while, then the solid will settle at the bottom and the oil float stay on top.

To make the paste: \n1/2 cup all-purpose flour \n2 cups cold water \n2 cups boiling water \n3 tbsp. sugar \n\nMix together flour and cold water in a bowl. \nAdd this mixture to the boiling water and allow it to return to a boil. \nRemove from heat and stir in the sugar. \nAs the mixture cools it will thicken as it does. \nYou can also just make a quicky paste by putting flour in a bowl and adding water until you have kind of a soupy paste. \nIf you're planning to make something you want to last for years and years, be aware that flour paste can get moldy, especially in humid environments. \nYou might want to try using powdered wall paper adhesive (non-pourous) mixed with water. \nIt comes in milk carton type containers and you can find it anywhere wallpaper is sold. \nBe sure to cover your work area with lots of newspaper or wax paper - papier mache can get very messy! \n\n\n\n\nHere is another way to make it and the part about the painting\n\nGetting started \n\nPapier mache is really easy to do, and there are very few requirements. \n\nYou will need... \n\n- Paper (newsprint is ideal)\n- Adhesive\n- Paintbrush\n- Plastic table covering\n- Paints\n- Patience!\n\nIt is advisable to prepare everything before starting. Firstly, tear the newspaper into strips about an inch wide by 4 inches long. This is only approximate. Tear the paper with the grain.\n\nMake your adhesive. There are many different recipes but below you will find the most common.\n\nPapier mache recipes for adhesive \n\nNote: all adhesives can be used with both layering and pulp methods of papier mache.\n\n1 - Flour and water glue:\n\nTo make a flour and water glue follow these instructions:\n\nBoil 5 cups of water in a saucepan.\n\nIn a bowl, mix 1/4 cup of sieved flour with a cup of cold water. Mix to a smooth consistency (a bit like making custard). When completely free of lumps, add the mixture to the water in the saucepan. Gently boil, stirring constantly for two or three minutes until the mixture thickens.\n\nAllow to cool before using.\n\nThis will make a runny glue. If you prefer a very thick glue (or if you are in a hurry for it to dry) use this recipe instead:\n\nThick flour and water glue:\n\nUse 1 whole cup of flour to three cups of water. Make using the same method as above.\n\n2 - Wallpaper paste glue:\n\nMake up a bowl according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Use a little less water than recommended if preferred. Keep in an airtight container. It will keep for several days in a fridge or a cool place. Wallpaper paste has the advantage of containing a fungicide to prevent mould. \n\nNote: It is not a good idea to let children use wallpaper paste in case they put their fingers in their mouths.\n\n3 - White (pva[?]) glue\n\nSlightly water down the glue in a bowl and use straight away.\n\nWhen you have decided which glue to use, the next thing to do is to decide what to make. To start is it advisable to use something to mould on.\n\n\nPainting papier mache \n\nVirtually any paint can be used to paint your papier mache artwork. The most popular paint is water based acrylic. It is easy and clean to use, not too expensive and comes in a large variety of colours. It is also quick drying.\n\nPoster paints can be used but you have to be careful not to use a water based varnish on them or the colours will smudge. \n\nYou can use up old gloss or enamel paints that you have lying around. The important thing to remember is that whatever paint you use, you must seal your work first. A household emulsion[?] paint is ideal. A couple of coats should do it.

Yes.  Bring up the picture in "Paint."  Go to "start" "programs" " accessories" "Paint."   It has useful tools in there that will allow you to type on the picture and even free draw on it.\n\nPictures of cake:\nhttp://www.shop.com/op/sprod-0%2D0%2D0%2D32842-~Cake+Picture-k24-g1-_Cake+Picture\n\nGood Luck

How about using gumdrops and toothpicks? Might be hard to get enough of four colors, but it would be flexible. Good Luck:)
