Valentine Treat


Here's a very quick, inexpensive Valentine gift that's sure to please. In about 10 min. you can have a one-of-a-kind gift that doesn't look homemade. Here's what you need.


1 small plush/stuffed toy, preferably one that sits up
1 plastic message heart candy favor
1/4-1/3 cup of your choice of Valentine Candy
Glue gun and glue sticks

Plush toys are available inexpensively at the Dollar Tree. The plastic message hearts can be purchased at Walgreen's, Michaels, and Wal-Mart. Sometimes Dollar Tree carries them.

Preheat glue gun to high setting. Glue paws, and belly of bear to plastic message heart. Allow to dry. Fill a small bag (lollipop bags work well and are available at Wal-Mart and Michaels) with your candy or simply put pre-wrapped candy in favor cup. Add a gift card if you like and you're finished.

OK--maybe you could do it in less than 10 minutes. Of course, I have to add time for bandaging my fingers that always get burned on the hot glue!


Happy Valentine's Day!
