My journey began at a local store where I found these super cute little pouches. Adding them to the shopping cart challenged me to look for sweet fillers that my kids and hubby would enjoy. Thinking in terms of smallest to largest, I picked up chocolate treats and some fun office/school supplies.
Finally, making a stop by the seasonal aisle, led me to the perfect big box hearts for my special people. Each design matches their individual personalities.
In my brainstorming process, giving a treat to the family for fourteen days in February wasn't quite enough to express my love and appreciation for each of them, so I sat down and began creating.
After some careful thought, I came up with this...
Love Letters was created so I could personalize daily encouragements for each of my family members (husband too:)
Now that my supplies were collected and created, the assembly and delivery were easy. Family members receive a treat and note of encouragement in their pouches each morning for 14 days, beginning on the 1st of Feb. The contents begin small and gradually get larger, eventually leading to the Valentine hearts that will be paired with gift cards for the children, and a date night for the husband :) Though the gifts are nice, I feel the encouragement and love given from the notes will leave a lasting impact on our family.
How do you celebrate during the season of LOVE?
This is the cutest idea! We usually don't do anything to celebrate Valentine's day, except a special cupcake or something, but I might snag this idea :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anne. Typically, my family receives one box of chocolates and a special little gift only in Valentines Day. This year, while trying this new idea, I've noticed how the simplest of gifts are meaning so much. The kids (and hubby) and feeling encouraged by the love letters, and overall our family has been more caring and compassionate toward each other. I hope if you implement this idea into your family, you'll have great results as well.
