Valentine's Day. Some people love it, some people don't. I am part of first group, and not just because I have a smashing valentine to celebrate with. V-Day is a day to show the people you love that you care--and that doesn't just mean the one you come home to at the end of the day. With that in mind, I picked up a few items to make some Valentine goody boxes for a few lovelies who make my life sweeter.
What You'll Need:
- Red/pink/love take-out boxes
- A variety of your favorite chocolate candies
- Small mints
- 3 kinds of treat bags
- Cupcake wrappers
- Heart confetti
- Pretty letter stickers
- Swizzle sticks
- Small heart garland
- Cookies/cupcakes/brownies homemade or store bought...I used red velvet whoopie pies (I used a box mix for a semi-homemade treat)
- Evenly distribute each type of candy amongst first type of treat bags (I used Hershey's with and without almonds, Reeses peanut butter hearts, and heart nougat candies) then tie off. Place a bag in each take-out box.
- Place small mints in second type of treat bags and tie off. Place a bag in each take-out box.
- Place baked good in cupcake wrappers. Place one to three (depending on size) baked goods in the third type of treat bag and tie off. Place a bag in each take-out box.
- Place a swizzle stick in each take-out box.
- Wrap heart garland twice inside the box, then cut, so that the hearts stick out from inside
- Choose the first initial of the person's name from your letters and place on outside of take-out box
- Sprinkle confetti in each box.
Goody boxes complete! Leave your Valentines their goody boxes where you know they will see them and be surprised...by the front door, on the front seat of their car, on their chair/desk, etc.
