Cupcakes I made for a Valentine’s Day Date Night
Saint Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and if you’re like me, you love the romantic feeling in the air. Even if you don’t have a significant other or spouse in your life, you can celebrate the love between yourself and your children, grandchildren, family and friends.
I think one of the best Valentine’s Day memories I have is the time my sister and I saw a pair of Valentine’s Day Boxers in a store window. They were part of a gift set, along with a chattering red heart, that had, “My Heart Beat For You” on the top. You could wind up the heart, and it chattered around a flat surface, much like infamous chattering teeth. I am sure it was the chattering teeth that made us beg our mom to buy them for my father. We carried on until she entered the store and bought them.

Excited, we wrapped them up as soon as we arrived home and gave them to our father. Our dad went on for our sake, about how much he liked them. I was very interested in trying out the chattering heart. After that night, I would go into my dad’s dresser where the boxers and heart sat in their gift box. Every so often, I would go in, wind up the heart play with it for a while, and return it to the box. I wondered why my dad had not yet worn those loud heart boxers. Year after year, they remained in the drawer, right up until they sold the house to move closer to my sister and I, now married with kids of our own. I am not sure where those boxers ended up after that, but it sure is a memory, I don’t think I will ever forget. He obviously treasured those boxers so much, he could not bear the thought of wearing them. At least that is what I choose to believe.

I gave birth to my daughter on Valentine’s Day. The best gift ever, even though it was labor.
I always like handmade cards or gifts. Keepsakes to last forever :o)
I always loved getting homemade gifts from my kids!
Awww how sweet!! I love that your father kept those boxers!! 😂💜
My elementary school always did candygrams for St Valentine’s Day… they would call out your name on the big speaker, say whom it was from or left that anonymous and then a brief message/shout out – then they had them delivered to each class shortly afterwards. I listened all week long not expecting to ever receive one but deep down secretly hoping that I would. I tried so hard not to care. They called the final names on Valentine’s day and ended it with a school message. I was more heartbroken about it than I ever expected to be…I suddenly found myself with tears streaming down my cheeks. Embarrassed by my sudden strong emotional reaction, I hid my face in my books so my peers couldn’t see me. All of a sudden the candygram announcer came back on and said she had forgotten one more, and it was for me! I was so thrilled and overcome with gratitude that someone actually chose to buy one for me! They remained anonymous but left me a very sweet message. I’ll never forget that. I know it’s super silly but it touched me greatly. I hope they were somehow cosmically rewarded for their kindness many times over. Happy Valentine’s Carolyn! 💖
Thank you for all you do Carolyn!
Taking care if my 93 year old Mom and we were going through an old trunk. I found the first Valentine I made for her among her other keepsakes. So, 57 years after I first gave it to her. We got to reshare that Valentine. I am truly blessed!
Very generous 🌹I never knew love until I looked my first son in his eyes & held him close to my ❤️. He’s in college now his 1st year, in Seattle. Far. But no matter where he is I carry him still. In my heart.
This is so pretty! I love the soft ambient glow it gives. I vbet the smell is lovely too! Good luck to all who enter 💘

We’re not big on gifts for one another but we do fun stuff for the kiddos. Heart shaped foods, heart attack of positive attributes on their doors and a few sweets.
My boyfriend always brings me red roses and we spend the night together watching movies and having dinner together!

My husband and I always make it so we can just relax together. We both work full time and part time jobs and have a very full schedule so we don’t see very much of each other. Valentine’s Day is the one day a year where we carve out some time together
My favorite valentine’s gift was the birth of my son!!
