Valentines Hugs and Kisses, a Great Inexpensive Gift
by Kathi Hunter 


This is a wonderful alternative to those little paper valentines! You and your kids will love making these for all of your favorite valentines!


A Valentine’s project - the Christmas tree isn’t even on the curb! Read on, you will be glad you got an early start. This is a great little gift that is inexpensive and very cute. 

What you will need for ten gifts: 

10 snack-sized Ziplock bags 
10 pieces of heavy paper cut to 4" x 6.5" 
2 bags Hershey Kisses 2 bags Hershey Hugs 
Pink and Red felt tip pens 
Stapler 

Instructions: If it is the right time of year, you can get Hershey Kisses, in red and green, half off after Christmas. Just use the red ones for this project, and save the green for St. Patrick’s Day (or for personal snacking!). 

Place a half a dozen hugs and kisses in the Ziplock bag and zip it up. Fold the paper length-wise and staple the bottom of the edges just the zipper of the bag. 

On the front of the bag, write: "Hugs and Kisses, Happy Valentines Day". You can decorate the front with X’s and O’s either hand written, or using the letters of a stamp alphabet. Put the To: and From: on the back of the card. 

Easy, easy, easy! You can adapt this for your kids to give to school friends. (My son objected to putting “Hugs and Kisses” on his valentines, but loved giving out the candy with just “Happy Valentines” on the front.
