valentine's day gifts:: we make a great pair

 

for the little ones...

 

for the teachers...

Preschool Valentine's Day parties are a lot of fun, and this year the smart teachers at my boys' school have asked that we avoid giving candy as gifts.



So, while I was on the hunt for a fun (non-sugar) alternative, I walked though the dollar section at Target and noticed a pile of Valentine's Day socks.  It just so happens that new socks are one of my favorite little pleasures in life, so I ran with that idea. The large (economy) packs of socks for the kiddos were the easiest solution in terms of numbers, and then I went with the festive $1 socks for the teachers.




Each pair of socks has a tag attached that reads "we make a great pair" (leaving enough room for the boys to write their names). The tags are printed on white card stock a glued to a second (slightly larger) piece of red card stock.



A free PDF download of the tags is available below if you would like to make "a pair" for your Valentine's this year!
