Posted on by Shannon

To go along with the fun Valentine’s Day Round-Up I did earlier today, I thought I would share this new release and more fun Valentine’s Day ideas with you too!  After all, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner!!

MadlyMadagascar_DVD_Spine_Sticker_FIN_rgb(1)On January 29th, 2013, Madly Madagascar is coming to DVD!  You will fall in love (Ha!) with Alex, Melman, Gloria and Marty as they go about their usual excitement of getting in to some trouble.  In this all new adventure, craziness happens…including some love potion! 🙂

Here are some more Valentine’s goodie ideas…

PERSONALIZED LOVE COOKIES
Looking for a nice way to send your love to your friends and family this Valentine’s Day? Consider baking them special love-themed cookies to send to them at work, school, etc. Kids will appreciate a fun, extra treat to share with their friends at lunchtime, and mom and dad will love the heartfelt sugary snack made from scratch. Simply look up easy sugar cookie ideas, use a heartshaped cookie cutter, and then frost in white, red or pink with personalized messages. You can even use Pinterest for more awesome decorating ideas!mm post personalized love cookies

CUTE PLUSHIES
Kids will love waking up to a cuddling Valentine’s Day stuffed animal! V-Day plushies come in a huge range of different creatures, both real and mythical! Stuffed animals aren’t just for kids, either; adults can display them in their offices or cars as an extra way to show that someone was thinking about them on this special day.mm post cute plush

COUPONS FOR A FAMILY NIGHT IN
Homemade coupons are always a hit with moms and dads, and this Valentine’s Day we suggest creating a coupon for a night in with your family! These cute coupons are simple to make – all you need is some colorful construction paper and markers. Parents can help kids write out a personalized coupon promising to spend a fun night in with their families. You can even list suggested activities for the night in such as playing board games, watching movies or cooking a family meal.mm post coupons for a family night in

MADLY MADAGASCAR DVD
Kids will love the new MADLY MADAGASCAR DVD this V-day! They can spend the holiday watching their favorite, hilarious characters from the film enjoy all the splendor of this romantic holiday. Make this fun Valentine’s Day present into something more by hosting a mini viewing party for your kids and some of their friends – they can watch the film, make festive treats, and decorate their only Valentine’s Day cards.

EVERYTHING RED GIFT BAG
Make a unique gift bag for your family and friends this V-Day! All you need is a plain red bag, and then fun, red items to fill the bag with (e.g., lip gloss, candies, toys, jewelery, PJs, etc.). You can make each bag unique by finding something red for each member of your family or your friends – try to find things that are meaningful to them or fit their personality for an extra special touch!mm post everything red gift bag

  2. I’ve seen some cute ideas on cheerios & lattes pinterest, but only pinned the picture so far, never got back on to check out all of the ideas!

  8. I haven’t seen many this year! One I saw last year that I liked was taking a photo of your child with their hand out like they are holding something and taping a sucker to the photo so it looks like your child is holding the sucker.

  11. I haven’t but I’m thinking of origami folding some money to give to my husband for a lunch date.

  14. I saw heart sugar cookies with sprinkles and red frosting in the middle.Some cookies were white,pink and red.Then you just change the color of the frosting. I was thinking it would be a good thing for my neices to make.They love to bake. Thank you for the great giveaway! 🙂

  16. I think we are going to do the photo valentines this year. You take a picture with your childs hand held towards the camera in a fist then you put a lollipop on the photo in their hand.

  17. You’re right, it’s just around the corner and I haven’t planned anything. I was glad to see your ideas here on Simple!

  18. My son is going to “help” me make cookies and we’ll go out for a mother/son lunch…hopefully he’ll be extra tired so we can put him down early and my husband and I can enjoy the evening together!

  23. i don’t have any ideas from the web but we play love clues where i hide small gifts and he has to find them based on the cluehe is left…each clue leads to a new gift…and depending on where he is accademically i use those items to strengthen his skills as the clues

  25. I haven’t seen much of anything except entering giveaways on blogs I read like yours. I haven’t gotten into Pinetrest yet

  36. I haven’t seen any unique ideas. I do love the 14 days of valentines gifts for the hubby!

  47. I haven’t even started yet. I really should start looking for something good for the kids classes.
