I always have these great ideas (some might call them unrealistic expectations) for how the day is going to unfold, but rarely do things go as planned. Every year I blink, and the day is here.
Valentine's Day shouldn't be a day filled with unmet expectations. It should be a day in which we show those around us how much we love them. It doesn't need to be fancy or elaborate. It should be about the experience, not about the elaborate plans or gifts.
Everything shown here is something which could, potentially, be found at your local grocery store. Some stores now carry books and toys (check HEB if you're in Texas), and never underestimate how special a simple carnation or daisy can be to a little one. It doesn't have to be fancy to be special. It's special because it's coming from you.
Note: None of these links contain affiliates. These are just a few ideas I've had for small gifts for my kids, and I thought I'd share. Most of these are available to arrive by tomorrow via Amazon Prime, in case you can't squeeze a trip to the grocery store in before tomorrow.
