My absolute favorite part about Valentine's Day ( I have never really celebrated it since it's my mom's birthday) is getting to make it special for the girls. I know so many are against it but I love love love the chance to make them feel special. Especially on a day that we celebrate love & friendship. We have been talking about how to make to do acts of love and friendship, and every day we talk about one thing we did that day that was special. But I also love getting the table all dressed up, making special meals and gifting them a few things I know they will love. Here are some simple ideas that aren't wasteful and I know they will love.
Books
I am trying to swap out the plastic dishes so these sets of bamboo plates are on my list!
Best Daughter Ever sketchbook (she loves the one I gave her for her birthday last year!) Love this or your son's too. She loves taking it to restaurants or scribbling during dinner. I use to do the same and will be saving these for her!
Valentine's Day props for a little VDay playdate! (Tip: keep a container with special decorations, plates, and I add to them every year. I do this for all holidays and it's just so much fun to pull things out for every holiday).
Have posted about these rock crayons before, so cute and fun! And something they will actually use!
