There's nothing more magical than strolling under a mild snowfall on a calm, quiet night when the light is just right. Bring this sparkle and glow indoors with pretty homemade votives. Spray Mason jars with adhesive, roll in glitter, spray again and roll in Epsom salts. Place a candle inside and watch the flame flicker through the frosty exterior. Perfect for a cozy tête-à-tête this Valentine's Day.
