Tomorrow, of course, is the most “lovely” day of the year. In case you haven’t found a gift for your loved ones yet, look no further than Safeway. Now you can find gorgeous giftable candles, rose arrangements and so much more right in the floral department. Check out our previous blog for details.
My favorite sweet idea to get the whole family to focus on love is as simple as setting up a Valentine Candy Bar at your kitchen or dining table. This is easy as 1, 2, 3.
1. Place several Illusion vases in varying heights on your table and fill alternating vases with pink and red candies (in your family’s favorite varieties of course – we love Cherry Gum Drops and Cinnamon Gumballs and the funny, updated “text me, LOL” Conversation Hearts in our house).
2. Always adding in layers of detail, tie looped pink ribbons to the vases for a pop of color, and votive candles around to add interest to the design.
3. Fill the large center vase with love notes or “love coupons” on colored paper for your family to grab, read, and enjoy.
This activity is fun to set up with your kids, gathered together around the table spending quality time, or as a surprise when everyone gets home from school. Not only does it add seasonal, themed, loving décor, but it also brings the family together to enjoy the sweet treats, love notes and special time together.
