12 No-Candy Valentines

UPDATE: Check out the NEW list with 36 NO CANDY VALENTINES here.

Holidays are all about the treats.  So, when I decided to make healthy changes with our entire family recently, I struggled to find non-food celebration items.  I decided to round up a few of my own ideas and some great ideas from other blogger for non-candy Valentines for you to enjoy.

Lots of great ideas. With this much advance notice maybe I'll actually do something cute this year instead of letting my kids pass out the grocery store valentines. Thanks for sharing. I've pinned it so I won't forget.

These are all fabulous idea! I'm going to try and talk my daughter into the ruler valentines... so much better than candy!

Thanks for the Sip-Sip Valentine's! Those are cute and I think our Dollar Store sells straws.

These are super! I really like the no candy idea. So over that. But I'm all over these, especially the "you make my heart glow." Cute. Glad I found your blog- via pinterest in case you're curious.
Cheers!

LOVE these ideas! With three kiddos, and a no candy rule at school, these are perfect! Found most of the things at Dollar Tree, too. Thanks so much for the great ideas! Even passed them along to some friends!

Thanks for these awesome ideas! I love to have my girls give homemade valentine's but so many involve food or candy (which is not allowed at their school). These are cute and economical!!!! :)

Does anyone have any clue why I'd write these on the board? What do you think these LARGE numbers might mean?
Well, according to google, the first number is how many people live on earth right now.
The second number is how many people live in America.
The third number is how many people live in Sparks, NV. (You can easily replace this number with how many people live in your city)

Is that a lot of people? If everyone in the world had a bottle of root beer and we sang that song backwards- 7,056,966,724 bottles of root beer on the wall... how long would it take for us to sing until we hit 1 bottle of root beer on the wall?? Probably a gazillion years!!!!! It's a huge amount of people on earth!!! And yet Heavenly Father knows EVERY SINGLE one of His children. Not to mention all those that have passed away before us!!!

Alma 26:37 "Now my brethren, we see that God is mindful of every people, whatsoever land they may be in; yea, he numbereth his people, and his bowels of mercy are over all the earth. Now this is my joy, and my great thanksgiving; yea, and I will give thanks unto my God forever. Amen."

I did the glow stick ones last year for my son's kinder class. Just a head's up for anyone who wants to try it - they are DELICATE! It takes very little to "crack" them, and once that happens you'll want to replace it so the recipient gets full use of it.
