I don't like chocolate, so it was really cool to see non-chocolate valentine options. Play-Doh and Glow stick valentines for the WIN!

I love the different options available. We homeschool but some of these would be fun for get togethers or Valentines swaps.
My son's too old to give Valentine's to his class – now we just focus on one girl! lol I miss these types of things.
My daughter’s school can’t do any candy or sweets, so that’s really cool that you’ve included no-sweets ideas!
