Most holidays I don't go all-out. But Valentine's Day is a day for me to have fun with puns and little gifts. I tend to give myself unrealistic expectations (all the time. Constantly. 24/7), I've gotten better at ignoring them and being more realistic with my time (because... umm... naps). But for Valentine's I love doing something a little bit on the ridiculous side. I mean, come on. I could have gone to the grocery store and picked up any number of things that are already done. But this is like a hobby to me. An annual one, but a hobby nonetheless. Last month while in San Francisco, I made it a point to visit my favorite Daiso store and as I was walking past the aisles of adorable-ness, I spotted a wall of assorted puzzle erasers and piled them in my basket. It just came to me that the kiddos in Penelope's and Felix's classes needed these things. And hey, they're not candy, so my practical mom-self said, "The kids with dietary restrictions will get to enjoy these, too!!" I found these darling clear plastic pillow boxes at my local packaging supply store (Pak N Wrap), if you're not in my same area, you can get them on amazon right here.  They're so darling, the temptation to put them in your mouth is real, so I put a little note on the bottom that said, "P.S. This is an eraser.:)" Because heaven forbid a little piece gets lodged somewhere.    My first inclination was to do some fancy-pants lettering like what I did above (I love the snap, so I wanted to throw that in here). But it's for Kindergarteners and Third graders. They won't be able to read that, let alone really appreciate it. So I busted out my more casual single-case lettering instead.  Coming up with something clever to say was just about as stressful as naming a newborn. But instead of something timeless, I wanted it to be clever. Unfortunately, I'm not known for my quick wit. That's okay. Because this girl can't be perfect at everything, right? So I phoned it in with a "Hello, adorable". And I'm happy with it. I wish I had done something a little more fancy and creative with the design of it all, but done is better than perfect any day.  I didn't complete these in time for you to use the idea this year, but this could be fun for a little party favor or little gift for future use. I hope you use the idea! Feel free to download the lettering by right-clicking the image below.
