My kids wanted to bake heart shaped cookies and cake( I have 3 girls so they all wanted to do their own thing). Less pressure on me to whip out festive Valentine treats, dessert for dinner and subsequent school lunches are covered for the next few days, and they had fun. win-win.

A Valentine’s Day with a $25 gift card and/or a little cash, plus a small box of chocolates. Maybe cookies in the afternoon.

Usually some kind of special dessert and a card with a $10 or $20 in it. (Teens)

In ES, we were told to send in cards for the whole class, so I used to make an effort to do it.

I do not want them to become entitled nightmare in their real romantic relationships. Also, this is a hallmark holiday. My kids do not think too much of it.


You think that if you do something small for your kids this can make them an entitled nightmare in their romantic relationships? Shouldn't they be acknowledging V-Day in their romantic relationshps?

Surprise candy in their lunches. I might make heart-shaped frosted sugar cookies this afternoon during what promises to be an unnecessarily long and incredibly boring meeting.

Nothing. My son's birthday was this weekend. That means there were alot of sugar and presents already. So nothing.

My husband made his favorite dessert, tiramisu, yesterday. It set in the fridge overnight and we'll enjoy it today.
