I just went shopping at the Dollar Store this weekend. It was full of items to give children or adults a package of Valentine gifts. My grandchildren love receiving a Valentine's box from me each year. I purchased coloring books with a dog with a red heart on his chest. The big coloring books are full of activities from pages to color, dot-to-dots, and color-by-numbers. I also found a couple of children's books, $1.00 each, to go with heart-shaped book markers. My granddaughter will be receiving wall stickers of princesses and my grandson will receive wall stickers of Nemo and his friends, only for $1.00 each! They had the small boxes of candy hearts which I purchased for their box.
They also had shelves of Valentine's Day wrapping paper, bags, bows and cards. One shelf included boxes and boxes of Valentine cards for children to give to friends in their neighborhood or at school. One shelf included a large selection of candles for Valentine's Day. There was a stand full of heart-shaped erasers and pencils. Plenty of Valentine stickers to give as a gift or to be used by yourself on your greeting cards. They also had ceramic Valentine bears, red and pink vases, decorative plastic wine glasses, red bowls and plates, Valentine buckets for gift giving, red flowers, etc.
Oh, by the way, they are already stocking their shelves with plenty of goodies for Easter!!
