Getting Ready for Valentine's

So since it's about a month away and stores have already fully stocked their aisles of hearts and candy, I decided to begin thinking about the girls Valentines so that I'm not scrambling at the last minute.  For starters, I am totally for the prepackaged Valentines sets, but last year I found the cutest personalized cards from Walmart that I can upload the girls pictures on and I can't pass them up!  They come 3 to a sheet for only $0.28 or upgrade to cardstock for only $0.67.  Look how cute:

And they ship pretty quickly so you have time to order a couple.  Click this link to view their design options and order Walmart Valentines Cards.

Just attach them to a pencil or goody and you are set to go.  Since most schools no longer allow candy, we've had to become more creative.   In my oldest daughter's (6) case this year she wants to attach shopkins so I was fortunate to grab some boxes of special edition sweetheart ones to divide to each friend.  4.99 for a box of 6 so that makes a pretty good deal for shopkins ($0.83 each), look how cute the Valentines ones are: 

 Now for my littler one (3 year old) we decided to start by looking in the target dollar bins for something she liked and she decided to go with socks (ironically my older daughter did that too when she was 3 or 4 so that was an easy go to).  I made a quick printable to attach to the bag the socks are in that says "we make the perfect pair" and then we can put her personalized card right on top (we were lucky enough to find a boy pair and girl pair). I also grabbed a couple pairs for teacher gifts.  

 Here is a picture of the ones I made two years ago and I decided to update the printable which I am attaching here as well if you would like it.

I also found that target has these cute DIY kits in their dollar bins if you are lucky enough to get them before they sell out!  

Now to start thinking about some Valentine themed meal/snack ideas for the girls.
