Be My Valentine

For those of you who are throwing a Valentine's Day party, or if you're just thinking about giving away little treats for the one's you love, hear are some Valentine favor ideas to give out:

Here's a simple, and personal Valentine to give away.  These are just little clear cellophane bags filled with pink and red candy. Then you can top off with a personal message or picture.  You can mix and match candies for a fun variation.  Message idea: "Kisses from ______ ", and fill with Hershey's Kisses!

Do you have extra pots, vases or mugs lying around the house?  Then use then to make cute Flower Pot Pens that will brighten up anyone's day!  These flowers are actually pens in disguise.  Just wrap a few ordinary pens with fake flowers using green floral tape, and create yourself a bouquet!

When I saw this cute Valentine Mail, I got really excited because I have an undying love for Target.  And I saw similar mailboxes at Target's Dollar Spot (I think they changed the name of that section, but that's still what I refer to it as.).  The mailboxes come in white,  pinks, and reds. For a dollar each, you can't beat that!  Put a Valentine's Day message inside the mailbox and, voila, you're done!

If you have left over mini candy canes from Christmas, here's an idea for you!  Make these Heart Lollipops!  All you need are candy canes and lollipop sticks.  Melt 2 pieces of candy canes in the shape of a heart in the oven for 5 minutes at 300 degrees.  Once they look like they're starting to melt, take them out and stick a lollipop stick into the center, then pinch the sides in.  Then dress it up as you wish!

This year is all about being frugal, so try to incorporate what you got around the house!  Have a box of cake mix in your house?  Then make some Valentine cupcakes!  Have leftover red wrapping paper that isn't too Christmas-y?  Then use that with some white tissue paper to wrap your Valentine gifts!  Valentine's Day is truly the holiday where it's the thought that counts.  So be creative with your gifts, and the receiver will love it!

TIP: If you're looking for ideas for your wedding, just change the color of any of these favor ideas to match your theme!
