Three Things + 1 : Lots of Love (and giveaways)

We usually haven't done much to celebrate on Valentine's Day but have taken some date days at other times. This year, though, my hubby got tickets to a college hockey game. So it will be a V-day gift we both enjoy. :)

My husband and I celebrate our love for each other every day :)so each day is special for us. Thank you for having such great giveaways available.

I'm making cards for friends, colleagues and of course hubby. And will probably treat myself for a good lunch with colleague on the 14th.
Thanks for asking.

I start the day with everything heart shaped breakfast for the kids! Then off to school they go! They don't know but mom has tucked away a love note and goodies in each bookbag! Dinner is usally out with family and then a nice bubble bath with candles! I love valentines day!

We always celebrate the day with hearts. Chocolate hearts, paper hearts, pancake hearts, any creative way to add some extra love into our day. Our kids have a ball coming up with "heart projects" to surprise us.

Homemade heart-shaped chocolate cupcakes! A YUMMY special treat made with love.

Valentine's Day has become one of my favorite holidays because it's all about LOVE! I work in daycare and make handmade cards for each othe children and staff. I also make red velvet cupcakes to share with everyone. And for my family and friends there is always a small handmade valentine gift - heart shaped ornaments or soap, no two years are the same, along with handmade cards! There is no better gift than love and no better day to celebrate it than Feb 14!

I haven't really celebrated valentines day for a few years but this year I hope to do something special for my hubby....scrap him a cute lil mini album to remind him i love him!

We make our own little valentines to pass out to friends. Last year we made chocolate but this year we are going to make heart shape cakes. Hope you have wonderful day!!

We fix a special family dinner (depending on what we want on that night), decorate the table for the valentine's occassion, and give out our own family valentines to each other. Usually then we watch a movie and just all snuggle and hang out.....THis year we are going to try and get together some handmade valentines and mail to unexpected people (ex: elderly home) because everyone likes a valentine.....Thanks for the giveaways....Karen Loper

I usually make some handmade cards for family and send in the mail. Then for my son, we make cupcakes together and bring them for the kidsat school. Then I usually get some pizza dough and make some mini heart shaped pizzas for dinner.

First I have to say that there is more eye candy in that post of yours than I've seen all week...anywhere! awesome stuff!
Usually my hubby works on V-day...thankfully not this year...so I usually celebrate with the kids...we have a nice dinner ( i let them pick) and i put out v-day linens and give them little treats. It's really sweet.

For my kids, I always have a Valentine's basket with 1 treat, 1 clothing item, 1 toy, and 1 stuffed animal. We always make cupcakes and have a special candlelight dinner together. After the kids go to bed, my husband and I usually watch a girly movie and cuddle. However, this year my husband will be in Iraq so we will have to celebrate in July. Thank you so much for the wonderful giveaways!

I make cards for my mom, sister, and nephews and of course my wonderful husband. My husband and I usually fix a special dinner at home and then do something extra special on the 20th which is our anniversary. Thanks Ali for the chance to win some really cool prizes!

I LOVE Valentines Day!!! During the day, we have a party here for my daycare kids, and then I take my son out for dinner and movie

I make heart-shaped pancakes for my kids and they smother them with strawberry jelly! Then, after school they each get a heart-shaped tin bucket filled with hershey's kisses and love notes from their mom and dad!

Our family will spend the day together making fun treats and valentines for each other.
My daughter's birthday is the 7th and she loves to surprise her classmates with special valentine treats as well.

Hi Ali:
Used to be Valentine's Day was a nice day, with cards and flowers, but the day before is my DS' birthday. I remember going to the hospital in labor and everyone saying that if the delivery is the next day, I'd have a Valentine's baby. Well, that sounded so neat! Of course, as the labor progressed, the red hearts on his birthday didn't seem as necessary! LOL! Now we do a family celebration for Valentine's Day, but my DS thinks everyone has a 2-day birthday! He's only 3, but, of course, RED is his favorite color!

I like to make Valentine's for my boys and their classes at school. Together, we usually make some Valentine's cookies, and on the morning of Valentine's day I make them pink heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast.

On Valentine's Day, our tradition is to exchange cards with each person in the family, and my husband and I go to lunch together to avoid the evening crowds.
