Getting creative with Valentine's cards is tricky! My children's classes do not allow sweets, so we had to come up with different ways to celebrate the day with them. This is a list of some simple, cheap, and cute ideas for non-candy valentine gifts to give your children's friends or classmates.





1. Small bags of pretzels

2. Pencils (check the dollar store - I got 24 pencils for $1)

3. Heart Shaped Erasers (see above)

4. Red and/or pink wristbands 

5. Bookmarks (You can make these yourself)

6. Crayons

7. Chalk

8. Stickers

9. Glow Sticks 

10. Yo-yos
