I had a box full of construction paper, wrapping paper, paper heart-shaped doilies, markers, & glitter. Lots of glitter. One year I realized I hadn't made Valentines in a few years & I had a coworker with three little kids so I gave the box to her. I got the coolest homemade Valentine that year, from the kids. I still have it.

I loved Valentine's Day as a kid & the Valentine give away at school. We would never have dreamed of not giving every kid a Valentine! You just didn't do that. You did however pick who got the cool ones & who got the icky ones.

6. If you're a monthly contributor & your monthly date is between 10-14, you'll get double the hearts to give away.

You get X number of hearts because you're monthly contributor, & when your contribution day hits during Valentine's week, you get another set of hearts. Party. Bonus.
