nope, my parents especially my mom always did that for us and so I do the same for them. My son is now eight so he is still in the liking of me treating him and it really makes them feel special.

That sounds nice...he will always remember these little things. I love to get little things just to perk up their day.

No I always get my kids something for valentines day. We also you usually go out to dinner together. I ask each of them if they will be my Valentine. They always say mommy we are your valentine every day. I always get very happy when I hear that.

I do every year. They are my valentines too. I get them a card, a flower and some little trinket at the dollar store. They love the attention and they brag at school the next day. It's a treat for me to do for them.

So true...I think of my kids as My Valentine too! My daughter always makes some cute little doo-dad at school so I always get her something special. I was thinking of getting her balloons and sending them to school this year.

Now that my baby is old enough to know special occasions, I am planning to do some activities with her like doing paper hearts and of course, I will have a special treat for her, like I was thinking I would make heart-shape cupcakes. She enjoys them a lot.

Call me sentimental or crazy, but I still buy my kids Valentines as well as a small gift, sometimes candy or cheap jewelry (I have 2 girls) and they are now 16 and 21!! I'll probably always do this because when I see their face light up, it is worth a million dollars to me!! :-)

Yupp I have done this since my son was little and I did in home daycare. This year I think we will use up what we have leftover from the last few years.

That isn't silly! I will continue to buy my son a Valentine until I can no longer drag my big butt to the store! Hope he realises how lucky he is to have you as his Mom!

Nope, you're not the only one. I do it too, and my mother used to do it for us. Every Valentine's day, when we woke up, our places at the table were set and marked with a valentine card, a treat and a small little present (usually a red bear with a heart, or something else valentine related) And this year I'll be doing the same thing. I got my boys a little bear holding a heart and a little chocolate heart, and some small chocolate lips wrapped in red foil ( pretty cute )
and they got a cute age appropriate card. I'll be doing it every year.
