I just got an email from my kids teacher saying "Students are welcome to bring Valentines for their classmates and exchange them on Wednesday. Please be sure to include all of the students in your classroom." What does this mean? Are these hand written/drawn valentines card for each student and a gift? If so what kind of gift? Where do you get your cards from? Do you give anything to the teachers?

TIA!

You just go to the store - grocery store or someplace like that - and buy the valentines in boxes. No one hand makes them these days. There are too many. Then you have your kid write the name of each classmate on a valentine, so that there is one for each kid. I always got the valentines that came with a lollipop, and then the lollipop would attach to the card. Some years I went further and sent in a little gift bag with a few pieces of nut-free candy and maybe a Valentine pencil. But a card is usually enough, or maybe a card with a lollipop taped to it.

OP - Thanks for the feed back - Phew!

I just checked my orders and it say they should be delivered tomorrow. But i do see if you purchase them now it will arrive after Valentines day.

I thought pencils would be safe and practical choice and it was only $10, but now, in hindsight, scratch and sniff food pictures might be a bit weird?? I hope I haven't messed this one up for her :/

Those are fine! There will be a range of things your kid will bring home, and will fit no problem.

My kid used to give out individually wrapped ring pop. You can find it at Costco.

Also, you can hand out individually wrapped rice Krispy bars from Costco.

We have always given out pencils and it has been well received. Kids use it during the school year

Just nothing with nuts in it.

Most kids in our class include some type of treat with their cards. I bought cards and candy for a total of ~ $10.
