Last year I had quite the Valentine's day surprise.... I was working at my horrible ex-job when I got a call from the security desk saying I had a package. Blue Eyes isn't really the type for romantic surprises, so I was pretty perplexed. Once I got to the desk, I saw a beautiful plate full of heart-shaped sugar cookies, decorated perfectly with cute x's and o's, polka dots and a lot of purple! My sweet friend Stasia had made these delicious (and literally perfect looking) cookies and surprised me with the special delivery! I wish I still had the picture so you guys could see them... I just dug through my old tweets but apparently the old Blackberry (RIP) wasn't capable of doing that back then. Anyway, ramble ramble..... More on all this next week, but Stasia and I have a date to make the cookies this weekend, so you'll get to see what we come up with this year!
So now I'm trying to figure out how I want to package the cookies and other V-Day presents I have in store for some lucky loves. Here's what I'm thinking:

I'm madly crushing on this orange and pink wrapping paper from Paper Source.

This idea to use glassine envelopes for treats is adorable, just add stickers! Thanks Martha Stewart.

This is so simple and feminine, and all available at Hobby Lobby. Perfect for a mom or grandma's gift!
What are your plans for Valentine's day? Any exciting gifts you're giving or hoping to get?
I love the glassine envelopes! I am so tucking that away for the future!
