If you’re like me, Valentine’s Day hasn’t been fun since grade school, when all you had to do was paste a heart-shaped doily to a kraft paper bag and it would magically fill up with enough chocolate and candy to last a whole month. (Now that’s some serious ROI.) Somewhere along the way this heart happy holiday turned into either a reason to feel depressed (that you don’t have a sweetie) or obligated (if you do).
And it breaks my solid milk chocolate heart.
That’s why I’m delighted to announce that I am co-opting Valentine’s Day for us do-gooders and introducing our very first Valentine Swap. Sign up now, and not only will you get to swap treats with another fabulous do-gooder like yourself—someone who KNOWS how to make a goodie bag live up to its name—but you’ll also get your goodies through snail mail, which is just plain better at warming our little bleeding hearts.
Here’s how it works:
- Sign up using this form before January 26th.
- I’ll send you an email by January 28th with your swap partner’s details. (Psst…you might receive an international partner unless you request otherwise)
- Valentine goodies need to be in the mail no later than February 4th. Pretty please do not sign up if you aren’t able to meet this deadline. Nothing is more heartbreaking than sending a valentine and not getting one in return.
- Wondering what goodies to include? Be creative and have fun! But no matter what include a handwritten note.
XOXO,
