Romantic Valentine’s Day Ideas
February 8th, 2012 by Laura M. Brotherson
Less than a week left til Valentine’s Day! Do you have plans?!
Valentine’s Day is one of my very favorite holidays! It’s a wonderful opportunity to make sure your sweetheart knows how much you love them, and to create a fun family tradition for your children as well. I hope you all will make Valentine’s Day a special day for showing your love!
Valentine’s Chocolate Nuggets Labels
I’m so glad I learned about this wonderful blog “Love Actually” that has tons of great romantic ideas to keep the spark alive in your marriage. It provided a perfect, fun idea for me to add to our romantic Valentine’s Day festivities this year! My husband’s favorite candy is those Hershey Nuggets with toffee and almonds, so the cute Valentine’s Day labels were perfect.
I even took the idea a step further and created my own little mini labels to add on top of the Valentine’s labels. My mini labels had messages like “Hot Stuff,” “Sexy,” “Want You,” “Stud” and “Oh Yeah!” to make the treat even more personal like those candy conversation hearts.
Very fun!
Chocolate Bowls
Another fun Valentine’s Day idea for your family might include making chocolate dessert bowls. This is a new family tradition of ours (though I don’t remember where I first got the idea–somewhere online!)
We enjoyed our second year of delicious chocolate dessert bowls filled with sugar-free ice cream, whipped topping, oreos and strawberries. There’s a bit of an art to getting these bowls to work with dipping balloons into the melted chocolate, but it’s worth the effort!
You gotta have some chocolate dipped strawberries while you’re at it!
As far as I’m concerned Valetine’s Day lasts all through February, so there’s plenty of time to have a little extra love and fun in your family this Valentine’s season!
(Thought we’d repost this post from last Valentine’s Day to share some fine ideas you might want to try this year!)
