To be completely honest my hubby and I don’t celebrate Valentines Day, but I always do a little something for the kids just to let them know how much I love them. Usually it’s a little heart chocolate or note in their lunchbox, but this year it falls on a weekend so I could be a little more creative if I want. I have searched the net for some inspiration, here are some ideas I thought you might enjoy too!
I made this Love You Alphabet Print for my daughters bedroom recently, could make a sweet Valentines Day gift. Available here in a range of colours, instant download.
