Valentines

[pam4gators]

I may be wrong but I haven't seen a post about this yet, what is everyone doing this year for valentines? Last year I done the hand sticking out with a sucker stuck in. I don't have a clue what to do this year.

Kennedy is still small so I can just get away with the box ones from the store or just do basic photo ones.

I saw these on pinterest and thought they were pretty cute.

These are cute and linked to free printables (but you could always do your own variation with digi goodies):



I love this idea too:

[Lyd]

I'm gonna use these cute printables from Julie:

We bought ones this year. First year I have bought any. I might regret it as it gets closer though.

I have an idea, but I have to see if it works before I post it LOL!

Okay, so I have 3 boys, and they are all very boyish and don't want anything cutesy, ever. lol.

We've been making our own Valentines since 2006 (digi style) I grabbed a few I could find on my computer, up to some current ones. I couldn't find them all real fast, if I find more, I'll add them later.

Ours are very simple, and my boys love them every year! My oldest is now in 8th grade and he doesn't need them anymore, he's sorta bummed about it, lol!



I always have a quick photo shoot a few weeks before Halloween, get the pictures and then forget about them until the week before Valentines Day. This year, I did them earlier than usual for my two youngest, so they are on here.

Hope this helps MOB's (Moms of Boys) and anyone who wants simple ideas.

P.S. Gina Miller's were way cute last year, she did the sucker ones where it looks like her child is handing a sucker and they you stick a real sucker in it. (I hope that makes sense).

I think I might make some little toppers and put them on a tiny bag.

At Blake's preschool we can't do anything with candy. So I just might buy ones from the store... Though I really want to do something fun! The pirate ones are really cute...and La & Shawna just did the adorable pirate valentine's kit...hmmmmmm

[Kenzi]

I'm making these. I have a ton of ideas pinned on Pinterest, but DS love Pop Rocks so that what he chose.

oh my gosh I really love the little friendship bracelet idea! How cute is this!

[Milmomma]

I found these on pinterest and bought the suckers. I'm printing out this week so I can start cutting them. Sorry Julie, these were free.

[LJSDesigns]

Such cute ideas. Makes me sad that my only child is 20.

Friend is thinking about doing temporary tattoos. Any suggestions for cute sayings?

All of mine may be too old... "Our friendship is indelible." Maybe "This tattoo will fade but our friendship won't." Or... "I'm stuck on you, Valentine."

Ugh. I'm not good at this. Lol.

LOL - you are better at this then I am! Thanks!

Here's what L.J. is giving to his friends...

Very cute ideas! I'll probably use Melissa and Misty's Star Gazing scoop for both of my sons' Valentines.



My 5 year old wants a space theme, so I'll do something with "You're out of this world." My 8 year old thinks he doesn't need Valentines, but I think he's wrong. After he checks with his teacher, I'm sure he'll want Star Wars cards that say, "May The Force be with you." ('Cause any message that sounds the slightest bit lovey or even too friendly will be vetoed immediately, LOL.) I don't know what I'm doing for my 3 year old yet. Probably something princessy. All 3 cards will have candy attached, but I don't go crazy making the candy match the theme.

I showed Dylan (8) all the cute pintrest Valentines - Nope - he wants the tacky one's from the store..... When I mentioned it to the teens - I got looks of horror

[ryliesmom]

My kids always want the ones from the store so that's what we went with.
