valentines box

We are having a Valentine's party where everyone makes an old school valentines box. I have scoured the Internet for ideas for a box, here are some of the best I found.

I have a vision in my head that incorporate the package with the stamps.

Or we could just stick one of the cats in a box, that could be interesting.


I found these in my search and I liked the ideas.

Remember Lite Bright's? My crowning glory in terms of valentines boxes was using a lite bright. It was awesome, when you lifted the flap the lite bright would flash with my lite bright design.


The one I kind of want to make you can see here, it is the mailbox. Or maybe we will make the potentially child inappropriate box my husband suggested...

valentine's presents

I have been planning a valentines present that I think is probably going to fall through, so I though I had better come up with some backups. Let me know if you have any preferences Jackson, IF I pick any of these!

I think Jacks could use one of these for all his electronics. It would certainly make the bedside table look more clean and tidy. He might think this is kind of a boring gift though.

Either of these would be acceptable, but it seems to me that he gets something like this for every gift giving holiday. Kind of getting old, at least for me.



Jackson loves Hagar's Viking Kubb and we have been meaning to get some maps and frame them. I kind of like this one of Florida (he lived there for a while). It could add some pizazz to the whole map concept, but maybe to much?
