Ah, Valentine’s Day, the day of love…and chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate. I have loved Valentine’s Day ever since I was a kid, and I have continued to love it throughout my entire life. Yes, that even includes my awkward, loveless teenage years.
I credit this longstanding love to my mother, who always made it a point to get my siblings and me little Valentine’s gifts to show us that we were loved. Whether it be a simple box of chocolates or a little token present, she never forgot, and it always made me so happy. So I thought it would be fun to help all you parents out there who don’t know what to get their need for the holiday.
