Valentine's day gifts

Do U give your Bff's a small something for Valentines Day? When I was working the entire office would go out to lunch to celebrate the day, lots of ladies took there mother's to lunch also. It was a very good day. Some of the girls got flowers so the office looked real good and smelled nice also.

What do you do? I have thought about this one for my daughter, I found some marigold seeds (they also had zinnia's). What about a small gift bag, (those clear bags with hearts on them) include the seeds, heats candy (maybe those candy hearts) and a gift card from Starbucks (they have some real cute heat shaped cards) for $5.00? The total cost of this idea would be right around $7.00. If you add some of Costco wired ribbon, you could drive up the cost to maybe $7.50.

Did I say those Marigold seeds were in a box and they stated on the box holds about 300 seeds. I plan to put some dirt into a small pot of course with the seeds. I think they will look very nice on my front porch. Marigolds or Zinnia's last all summer around here.

What do you think?


Post Script 1/26/2014.............
Just returned from $tree Store, they have a wonderful collection of Valentine items. If you are going to do the card, box of flower seeds and some candy. They have all of these items (not Starbucks card) small balloons on a stick or mylard balloons. Need to go nd check it out.


I have enclosed 2 pictures of hearts, a shirt I made out of a long sleeved shirt, it had some errors on the shirt, and covered up the problems with heart shaped iron on fabric, and of course gold fabric paint. I love it, so try making one for yourself. What about some hearts on a summer tee, to show off your love of hearts. The second pic is a curly ribbon hair clip that I put on a Christmas bag, think of what you could do with a birthday bag or something for the 4th of July? I would make a double gift, a new hair clip and the gift bag full of 4th of July surprises, (you got from the $tree store or the 99cents store, what about some chocolates). Go and make some up and give them to someone special...just because.
